If you use dull cutting tools, you'll end up with split ends, which can work their way up your hair and lead to breakages over time. Also, make sure that you monitor the length of each layer as you cut. If you lose track of the length in each layer, you could end up with an asymmetrical haircut.

QuestionHow exactly do you do layers?Ashley Adams is a Licensed Cosmetologist and Hair Stylist in Illinois. She completed her Cosmetology education at John Amico School of Hair Design in 2016.An easy way to create layers would be to detangle your curls and put them up into a ponytail. Decide how much hair you want to cut off and cut it straight across using hair shears. Remove the hair tie and you’ll have layers. You can trim them more or even them out if needed.
