When cutting long layers of shoulder-length wavy hair, the key is to work with your natural texture, not against it. Wavy hair tends to shrink and bounce a little once it dries, so always account for that when deciding where to place your layers. A great quick tip is to cut the hair when it’s dry or just slightly damp rather than soaking wet. This way, you can see the wave pattern and better predict how the layers will fall naturally.

Focus on creating soft, blended layers rather than super choppy ones. Long layers should enhance the movement and volume of your waves without making the ends look thin or stringy. I also recommend starting the first layer around the chin or just below it for the most flattering face-framing effect, especially on shoulder-length cuts.

Another small trick: cutting vertically (point-cutting) instead of straight across helps the layers look more natural and lived-in. And remember, less is more! You can always take off a little more if needed, but it’s harder to fix if too much is removed at once.

A good layered cut on shoulder length wavy hair brings out that effortless, beachy vibe without needing a lot of daily styling. ✂️🌊
