Hair that’s not tailored can swamp your features. I would always encourage face framing tendrils and soft movement to open the facial features. It adds volume, body and interest to hair,” explains Dom.
Do layers make hair look thicker?

Hair that is very fine should avoid over layering as it can make it even finer and cause ‘wispiness’” Ryan says. “If you have fine hair and then you put lots of layers through that hair, it’s going to make the ends of the hair feel thinner,” agrees Luke. “Also very frizzy or coarse hair will generally benefit from having more weight,” says Ryan. Through which case, it’s possible you’ll not wish to add too many layers in.
