With a clippered sides with layered top haircut, the top of the hair is left long, and the sides and back are cut close with clippers to create a clean contrast. The top of the hair is then cut in layers to add volume, texture and movement. Your stylist can blend the transition from the sides to the top for a seamless look, or fade it for a more defined contrast. This is a versatile, low maintenance look that allows for a variety of styling options.
Towel dry hair. Apply a cream or mousse to enhance your curls and maintain separation between the disconnected lengths. Finger-style your hair or use a wide-tooth comb to keep your curls defined and voluminous. Let hair air dry for a softer look, or use a blow dryer and diffuser to enhance natural curl volume. Finish with a light hold spray.
Towel dry hair. Apply a matte paste or texturizing cream to add definition without weighing your hair down. Pinch small sections of your hair between your fingers to create a piecey, separated effect. For added movement, finger-style hair while using a blow dryer on low heat. Lightly spritz to keep the piecey texture intact all day.
Towel dry hair. Apply a lightweight mousse or cream that enhances waves and provides a light hold. Gently run your fingers through your hair to bring out its natural wave pattern while adding volume and movement. Let hair air dry, or use a blow dryer and diffuser on low heat to keep waves defined. Finish with a mist of light hold hairspray to maintain natural waves without stiffness.

“I’d like a clippered sides with layered top haircut. I’d like the top to be left long, but the sides and back to be closely clipped to create a clean contrast. I would like you to cut layers into the longer hair on top to provide me with a variety of styling options.”
