Is Feather Cut Better Than Layer Cut?

While there may be a lot of similarities between a layered and a feathered haircut, the two haircuts are quite different. Feathered haircuts focus more on the ends of your tresses. The stylist will hold your hair at a 90-degree angle and give it a ‘V’ shape to achieve that feathering effect. On the other hand, a layered cut gives your hair different lengths throughout the hair. This results in more volume giving your hair a bounce and consequently lesser drying time. 

A feather cut hairstyle for long hair has come a long way since the 1970s. In the 90s we saw a trendier version of the same haircut in the form of ‘The Rachel’ in the popular sitcom FRIENDS. And now there’s a fresh way to get a feathered haircut. Here’s all the inspiration you need.

Sweeping side fringes can be a great way to accentuate your cheekbones and eyes if you have warm hair. If you already have your hair cut into spaced layers, you can curl the ends using a thick barrel curling iron to get supple, idealistic curls. Keep your side fringes flat and sleek using a hair serum and straighten them out to keep them in place.

Both the feather cut and the layer cut are amazing haircuts that you can opt for. Layered and feathered cuts give your hair a unique look while taking care of it. Adding layers to your hair makes it more versatile, but feathering it gives it more texture. 

You should always seek the advice and maintenance of your hairdresser, no matter what hairstyle you want. We hope this article on feathered vs. layered haircuts helps you decide. Enjoy your new haircut!
