Nearly every hairstyle needs layers to help give it movement, depth, and direction.
Lived-in layers perfectly complement other minimalist beauty trends, likeprescriptive manicuresand minimal make-up.
What are lived-in layers?
Lived-in layers are an updated version of traditional layers.
Classic layers are very precise and accurate, helping to give definition and direction to a haircut.
On the other hand, invisible layers work as a scaffolding to add volume.
They are hidden as opposed to being choppy and pronounced.
Lived-in layers are like a perfect marriage of the two techniques.
A happy combination of movement and volume with minimal maintenance and a softer look.
Better yet, they encourage your hair’s natural wave or curl pattern and are ideal for air drying.
“It’s meant to be a wash-and-go minimalist style,” she toldAllure.
But layered hairstyles, especially shorter ones, can have a reputation for being high maintenance.
You desire texture and volume without that piecey look, keeping the layers well blended.
Verrett advised Allure to use the language “Triangular layers with a soft face frame.”
This versatile style can work on a wide variety of hair types.
