The 90s Layered Cut Is Back
After years of blunt bobs and the reign of the one-length lob, hair has gotten its mojo back – and with it, layers have made a confident return. Looking back to the era of Rachel Green’s face-framing feathered cut, Halle Berry’s choppy pixie and Kate Moss’s perfectly undone mid-length style, there’s no shortage of inspiration.
The layered cuts leading the way right now? The shag – think curtain fringes, heavy layers and wispy ends that work across every length. The butterfly cut brings shorter top layers that flick out for serious volume, while a subtle face-frame is the perfect starting point for anyone not quite ready for a full transformation. Whatever your current style, there’s a layered version worth trying.
Of course, layers are only half the story – movement is what really brings them to life. That’s where The Great Iron comes in. With its curved barrel and rounded plates, it’s ideal for creating effortless texture in every form. Try alternating sections left and right as you work through the hair for soft, piecey S-waves, or add a slight outward bend through the front sections for a classic ’90s flick.
Finish with a small amount of Almost Everything Cream through the ends for definition and separation without any heaviness.
Here’s all the layered hairstyle inspiration you need right now.
