different types of layering? (please reply ASAP)

I picture would be the best way to show you stylist what you want. Most places have hair style books that you can look at also. Sometimes pictures speak louder than words. Hope that helps! :-)

'Layered' means many different ways to many different stylists! There is no 'standard' way! As an example, there is 'square', 'round','graduated', 'slithering', 'razored' and many other 'ways' of layering the hair. The method of layering that bb described will essentially give even layers from front to back with the shortest hair at the bang area and the longest in the center lower nape area. The length of the bang area will determine where the first layers will begin at on the head. Note that not all hair textures do well with layers and that the style shouuld compliment your facial and body features for best results.william

> To William: What type of layers would you recommend to counteract a round face? I would like to keep my layers long, especially in the back. What do you advise? Thanks!!!Tammy

My hair is naturally wavy, but I usually try to straighten it to keep the width down at the sides of my face. I do get tired of fighting it though. I am willing to look at all options. Please let me know what you think. P.S. I would like to avoid a really high maintenance style, and no curling irons. Thanks again!!!!!
