The step cut – a well-known trend hairstyle, but rediscovered

When a new season approaches, many people either want to make a fresh start or change something about themselves. And since the second case is usually about a new hairstyle, we would like to focus on a current women’s hairstyle in our article today: the layered cut. Anyone who longs for a new haircut and wants to keep up with the trends should also consider a layered haircut. Because there are suitable options for both long and medium-length or even slightly shorter hair. Let’s see which ones they are!

The layered cut freshens up the look

The step cut – perfect for long hair

Long hair can sometimes seem too boring, especially when it’s neatly trimmed. That is why it would be a good idea to go for layers in long hair. Different lengths allow the hair to become lighter and fall more beautifully. The layered long hair looks very feminine and has a unique charm. In addition, the hair gets significantly more volume. Basically it’s about: The top hair and the front part are cut a little shorter than the rest of the hair.

We think it’s great that everyone can wear this trendy hairstyle. The shape of the face does not matter, because there is always a suitable variant for every face. Then one should simply find the right height of the steps for oneself. But the hair structure should also be taken into account. Especially with thin hair, you should make sure that the hair gets more volume. This is usually achieved by gradations up to the top of the head. Thick and curly hair, on the other hand, is thinned out nicely to make the hair look more elegant. Accordingly, both hair structures also tolerate larger levels.

Long layered hair is a favorite hairstyle of many women

You have to choose from several variants with levels. Multiple gradations that get shorter and shorter are a popular option. Both slight transitions are possible, as well as strong ones, such as with the mullet hairstyle, for example. But even with the mullet, too strong contrasts are often avoided and softer transitions are preferred.

Layered hair with bangs

Layered hair with bangs is considered a classic. If you like wearing bangs and curtain bangs, you could easily combine them with layers. Because then they really come into their own. The trendy detail wonderfully enhances the hairstyle.

A tip from us: Layered hair is more prone to breakage and split ends. Appropriate and regular care is then simply a must.

Medium length hair with gradations

A hot trend among women’s hairstyles for this year is the medium-length graduated hair. The long bob with layers is a very elegant option for women. This is not an accurate bob, but a wild twist on the classic haircut. As a rule, a step that ends in the middle of the face is considered optimal for medium-length hair. This gives the hair enough dynamics. The shoulder length with gradations is perfect, especially for fine hair. Because if fine hair is worn too long, the ends of the hair appear too thin. With thick hair, however, you should avoid too large gradations, because then they appear too full. As a result, they stick out in all directions.

The shag cut is also a popular layered cut for medium length hair. The uneven and fringed steps give the trendy hairstyle its own character and actually make it stand out. So that the haircut does not look too old-fashioned, it is cut with fewer levels. With or without bangs, both are possible.

Layered cut with waves

Layers look spectacular on wavy hair! The hair not only gets additional fullness, but also more movement. This is the perfect way you can avoid a boring look with long hair. Dyeing individual strands in a different hair color brings even more dynamic to the look. And if you want to create great highlights, then a few curls would be a good idea.

Curly layered hair

There is no doubt that curls have a special appeal. With a step cut, curls are simply put in the limelight. This is one of the best alternatives for a curly hairstyle ever. Here you also have several variants available to show off the splendor of the curls. Depending on the hair structure, you could either choose subtle levels or have several levels cut by the hairdresser. With both short and longer hair, the curls get extra bounce.
