Do layers make hair look thicker or thinner?


Question Posted Friday June 26 2009, 1:37 am

I'm 17. I have tons of long, thick hair. I usually wear it straight. I love being so healthy looking and get complimented on it all the time.

I don't want it to really look thinner or anything but I want a change. I was thinking of getting layers and side bangs. Right now I just have long layers (and no bangs) but I would be getting lots of layers done if I did this. How would this look though since my hair is so darn thick? Would my hair still look thick and full or would it look thinned out or something?

I had really long hair when I was younger (but I ended up cutting it). My hair was also very thick, and the hair stylist I went to said she would recommend that everyone with longer hair get layers because it's healthy for your hair.

The only way your hair would look thinner is if you asked them to thin it for you which they do with thinning shears. I think that if you do decide to get layers, start from about shoulder length & go down from there. I'm not sure how long your hair is, but shoulder length layers are good to start with. :)

You can get that done at Supercuts for a few bucks. I know it may seem like a tacky place to go to, but they usually do a really good job on my hair, and it's better to go there when you're on a budget.

long layers can make it look thicker or more volumous. short layers or razored layers will help it look a little thinner because it'll give it shape but it won't make it super thin =]
