The long scissor haircut is cut so the bottom falls somewhere between the shoulders and the ears. Then layers are added to create texture, volume, and movement. This is a good option if you prefer a versatile, stylish look that allows you to maintain a polished appearance while keeping your hair length. It works for all hair types.
Towel dry hair. Apply a light cream or mousse that enhances curls and controls frizz. Using your fingers, gently push back your curls to maintain their natural shape and volume. Use a blow dryer and diffuser on low heat to set the style and keep your curls nicely defined. Finish with a light oil or serum to add shine and control frizz.
Towel dry hair. Apply a light styling cream or gel to provide hold and shine. Using a comb, evenly distribute the product through the hair, then style as desired. Blow dry your hair with medium heat, lifting at the roots to create volume. Finish with a light mist of hairspray to secure your look.
Towel dry hair. Apply a small amount of lightweight texture cream or paste. Using your fingers, tousle and push the hair back to create a relaxed, messy look. Let air dry, or for added volume and texture, blow dry with a diffuser on low heat. Finish with a light mist of hairspray to secure your look.
