Layered Hair for Teenagers

Despite the recent popularity of layered haircuts among teenagers, layered haircuts were especially popular among women during the 1990's. The advantage of a layered haircut is that its sassy and energetic flare often requires as little attention as the wearer wants to give it without jeopardizing the look. If you want to give your teen a fun and fashion forward haircut, the layered haircut is the way to go. Does this Spark an idea?

1. Shampoo your teenager's hair. Gently massage your teenager's scalp to work the shampoo into the hair and scalp.

2. Rinse the shampoo out of your teenager's hair with warm water. Make sure the water isn't too hot or it may burn the scalp. If the water is hot to the touch, the it's too hot to use to rinse the shampoo out of your teenager's hair.

3. Apply conditioner to your teenager's hair. Gently massage the conditioner into the scalp and let stand for a minute or as directed on the label.

4. Dry your teenager's hair with a towel so that the hair remains damp—neither completely dry but not saturated with water.

5. Divide the hair into even sections using a comb to demarcate each section and hair clips to hold each section of hair in place. Make each section approximately a half an inch apart. One section should be on the crown of the head and three sections should be on each side of the head.6

Trim the nonsectioned piece of hair at the back of your head on your hairline to be the longest layer. Remember not to cut this layer too short or the rest of the layers to follow will be too short.

7. Remove the clip from the lowest section of hair so that you can begin cutting the hair in layers. This layer should be the bottom layer of hair around the entire head.8. Cut the hair on the bottom layer approximately a half to one inch shorter than the layer cut in Step 2.9. Continue working up the head for each section of hair in this same manner. Make sure that you cut each section of hair evenly with the opposite side as well as the back and top of the head.10. Peruse each section of hair after cutting all of the sections to see if there are any uneven spots. If there are some uneven spots, make minor changes as needed, such as trimming a few longer hairs.

This layered haircut works well for teenage boys and girls, but a shorter layered haircut will generally fit boys better than girls.

Remember that it's always prudent to leave more hair on the head because you can always take more off if needed but you can't get hair back once it's cut.
