Clipper cutting word of the week, the letter L

Here is your Ivan Zoot / Andis clipper cutting vocabulary word of the week for week 13, 2010.

This week it is time for the letter L.

Layer Cutting – Haircutting technique in which a progression of length is created, increasing from the interior of the head to the perimeter. This creates the effect of the hair lying in layers.

In simple terms: Layering is created any time hair is held up away from the head at an angle higher than parallel to the floor. The stacked look of the ends of the hair in the perimeter of the haircut is caller graduation... but from the top down it is called layering. Increased layering and uniform layering are forms of layering to be discussed in specific later in the week.
