This medium layer cut keeps thickness at the ends while creating soft, natural movement.
It is especially recommended for guests who have had layers before and felt that the ends became too thin, or for those who prefer an elegant and feminine impression.
By keeping a soft, rounded shape at the ends, this style creates a “plump” texture while still giving the hair lightness and movement.
Style Points
1. Diamond Silhouette for a Face-Flattering Balance
This style is designed with a beautiful diamond silhouette by creating balanced roundness around the face and at the ends.
The silhouette is adjusted according to each guest’s bone structure and face shape, helping create a more balanced impression and a smaller-looking face shape.
Rather than simply adding layers, the overall shape is carefully designed so the hair looks beautiful from the front.
2. Layer Height Adjusted to Your Bone Structure
Layers do not always look better when they are placed higher.
If the moving layers are placed too high, the visual weight can shift upward too much, making the overall balance look less flattering.
For this style, the layer height is adjusted based on bone structure, face shape, and hair length.
This creates a natural, personalized balance that suits each guest.
3. Cute and Easy with a 38mm One-Curl Finish
The ends are cut so that a simple one-curl finish with a 38mm curling iron creates soft roundness and natural movement.
You do not need a complicated styling technique to enjoy this look.
With just a simple one-curl finish, the hair looks soft, feminine, and easy to wear every day.
4. Not Only Movement, but a Beautiful Silhouette
A layer cut is not only about creating movement.
The overall silhouette is just as important.
By adjusting the face-framing area, the ends, and the position of volume, this medium layer cut helps balance the bone structure and creates a beautiful shape from every angle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What should I use to style this haircut?
A. You can style it with either a curling iron or a straightening iron.
For a soft finish, curl the ends once with a curling iron. You can also simply pass a straightening iron through the hair to create a clean and natural shape.
Q. Will a layer cut make my hair spread out or look strange if I do not style it?
A. No.
This haircut is designed so that the silhouette still looks beautiful even on days when you do not do much styling.
The layer position and hair amount are adjusted carefully so the hair does not spread out unnecessarily.
Q. Should I use hair oil or balm?
A. Hair oil is recommended.
Balm can sometimes feel too heavy because it contains more oil and hold. For this style, a lighter hair oil works better to create soft movement without weighing the hair down.
Q. Can I get this style if my hair is fine or I do not have much volume?
A. Yes. In fact, this style is especially recommended for guests with fine hair or less volume.
By adding movement with a medium layer cut while keeping thickness at the ends, the hair can look fuller without becoming too light or thin.
