Curly Layers

Medium • Curly

Curly layers are a shoulder-length cut for curly and coily hair, cut dry curl by curl into a rounded shape with volume at the crown instead of weight at the ends. The cut is also called layered curly hair or rounded curly layers, and the shape holds for ten to twelve weeks.

Curly layers are cut dry, curl by curl, so the hair forms a rounded shape with volume at the crown instead of weight at the ends. The length sits around the shoulders. Styling is a leave-in and a diffuser, and the shape holds for ten to twelve weeks.
