Girls, it’s definitive: the layers are back and they have done it with all the desire. This season the long hair is full of movement and one of the haircuts that is the top trend this 2023 is the so-called waterfall layers, which amounts to creating a cascade of layers that will make us boast of long hair.
Of course, to resolve all the doubts we had about this cut, what better than to have experts of the stature of our beloved Borin, stylist and creator of the wonderful hair product firm LI:OH Products, who has helped us understand better this trend
What is the waterfall layers haircut?
Thus, the first thing he tells us is that it is an ideal cut for long hair, whether we are talking about L, XL or XXL hair, those that leave us impressed and that are so popular. And it is that it is a haircut specially indicated for all those who want to maintain their length and also, gain movement and volume in the hair.
It is a style that achieved by cutting several layers at different heights, creating that cascade effect from which its name comes. Of course, these are layers that have to be executed very well since they have to be perfectly joined together to create specific volumes and movements, especially in the middle or lower middle areas of our hair.
Come on, as Borin points out, it is about a very common cut in beauty salons but that you have to master it a lot, so that we know where to generate those volumes and at the same time that, if we wear it smooth, no cutting lines are marked.
With this we want to point out that, as we always say, trust your stylists and do not launch into the viral challenges of TikTok scissors in hand because, in the end, you will end up with shears, poorly executed cuts, that do not work and that, in the end, have a bad arrangement
What type of hair is the cut indicated for? waterfall layers
Continuing with the explanation given by our consulted expert, it is a cut that is perfect whether we have straight or wavy hair. In curly hair, power can be executed, but it is true that it will not be appreciated as much, because it fades.
It is a style that is ideal for angular and square faces because it softens a lot and gives a lot of harmony. On the other hand, if we have a rounder face It can work great for us too, although we have to play with longer layers to give that effect of narrowing the oval of the face. While for the longer faceswe have to adapt it again and bet on the highest layers that we would start by executing at the height of the nose, the cheekbone and from there we create the cascade, so that we open the lower part of the face to give it greater width.
Conclusion, as Borin tells us, it is a style that can be adapted to all types of faces because we can play with the heights of the layers, creating that sought-after effect that harmonizes and best suits our face.
But it is that the benefits of the waterfall layers do not end there because as he tells us, if the cut is well executed, it is something that is very easy to carry on a day-to-day basis, being low maintenance because by airing the hair and applying some product that it provides texture is enough, being, in addition, of orderly growth, of those that maintains well over time. Come on, with this she has convinced us completely, especially all of us who have little time to dedicate to ourselves and go to a hairdresser’s.
Without a doubt, a style that this year we will see a lot in the long hair, including ours.
