Which reminds me to introduce you to the latest hair trend joining the party. Say hello to Concave Layers! What are concave layers, you ask? How can you get the trendy new look? Keep on reading to find out!

What are concave layers?

The technique of concave layering is about creating the illusion of fuller lengths of hair. This is achieved as the hairdresser lifts vertical sections of the hair up, and cuts it with angled fingers. The results are longer layers on the outside and shorter ones at the crown, which create a concave or rounded shape. While these layers are not something relatively new, the voluminous 90s hairstyle effect has gathered much attention on social media. Think of the 90s supermodel blowout hairstyle or the trendy curve cut. Every girl wants to have concave layers in 2023. Why shouldn’t you?

How does this haircut benefit your hair?

This haircut is perfect for girls with fine hair, thanks to the fullness it gives. Concave layers will create volume and movement for your hair. What’s more, this trendy hairstyle is also great for girls with thick hair as it removes unnecessary weight, while preserving your length. Plus, it’s easy to maintain, so you will save some time on washing and styling. Concave layers are not exclusively for long hair, but girls with medium cut’s can get them as well. This haircut can suit straight hair as well as wavy and curly.

How to ask for concave layers at the salon?

Most hair stylists should be familiar with the term “concave layers”, but just to be sure, you can always bring pictures of your desired haircut. Your stylists should consider the shape of your face and then decide where should the concave layers start to flatter your facial features most. If you have fine hair, you can ask for layers that will enhance movement. Whereas, if you have thick hair, ask for such that will remove weight from the tips. You can also say you want round-length layers with face-framing ones.
