This Expert Advice Guarantees You'll Have the Best Haircut of Your Life

The best cut: Don't be intimidated if you have this texture — it's a blessing to have the best of both worlds! Keeping the hair longer keeps the weight at the roots and prevents it from having too much volume. Adding long layers throughout the hair will add movement and softness. Using thinning shears or a razor on the ends will help take out the bulkiness in the hair, keeping it light and airy.

How to ask for this look: There are two key things you should tell your stylist: keep the length and remove weight! You want long layers for movement while maintaining your length. Also, be sure to mention you'd like weight removed in bulky areas for a seamless haircut.
