How Does The Difference Between Horizontal and Vertical Layering for Haircuts Work?

Imagine your hair is like a sandwich, and when you cut it, you're deciding how to slice it.

Horizontal layering means cutting your hair like slices in a loaf of bread, flat and even all the way across. It gives your hair a smooth, soft look that flows nicely from one end to the other.

Vertical layering, on the other hand, is like slicing your hair up and down like pieces of a cake, it creates more movement and texture, making your hair look bouncier and more dynamic.

Think of horizontal layers as cutting a pizza in straight lines across, you get even slices that all lay flat. That’s great if you want your hair to look neat and tidy.

Now imagine vertical layers are like cutting the pizza from top to bottom, you get slimmer, taller pieces that stand out more. This gives your hair a little extra flair and makes it easier for your hair to move when you shake your head or run around.

So, depending on how you slice your sandwich (or pizza), your hair can look smooth and even, or bouncy and full of life, just like the choices you make every day! Imagine your hair is like a sandwich, and when you cut it, you're deciding how to slice it.
