Choosing the Right Haircut for Your Hair Type

According to Tucker, feathered haircuts work best for people with fullness in the back and sparse density in the front. Here are some specific recommendations for different hair textures and thicknesses:

  • Fine/thin hair: Can help create the illusion of volume and texture.
  • Thick hair: Can help create definition and natural texture.
  • Aging hair: Can help soften the hair’s overall look.
  • Naturally curly/coily hair: Can help create shape and definition.
  • Wavy hair: Can help create movement and texture.
  • Straight hair: Ccan help create volume and texture.

Choosing the Best Haircut for Your Face Shape

In addition to considering your hair type, Tucker recommends considering your face shape when choosing a feathered cut. Here are her recommendations:

  • Round face: Keep layers shorter and lift them upwards to create lift and softness around the face.
  • Square face: Keep fullness through the top and feathered layers coming toward the face. Lengths below the jawline work best.
  • Long or angular face: Full feathered layers can help add fullness and definition from cheekbones to the jawline.
  • Heart face: Soft side bangs and feathered layers settling below earlobes or longer can create balance for prominent cheekbones and narrow chins.
  • Oval face: Layers sweeping away from the face look best.

Styling Tips and Tricks

Once you’ve chosen the right feathered haircut for your hair type and face shape, Tucker recommends the following styling tips and products:

  • Avoid styling the top with a part. Instead, blow dry forward, allowing hair to disperse naturally.
  • Spray underneath for extra lift.
  • Run fingers upward from nape to whirl for a better lift in the crown.
  • Use Aquage Spray Wax for better hold, spraying it into the areas you would like to appear fuller, defined, or feathered.
  • For shorter layers and feathered “flicks,” Innersense Inner Peace Whipped Creme Texturizer gives a touchable hold. Use wet and/or dry. This versatile Creme pairs well with wash-and-wear haircuts and on-the-go lifestyles.

With these expert tips and tricks, you can confidently choose and style a feathered haircut that makes you feel beautiful and confident at any age.
