Disconnected Layers Explained
A: "Disconnected layers" is a term derived to describe a more freehand style of layering in the hair.
The biggest differentiation in disconnected layers and standard layering techniques is that with most standard methods of creating layers there is generally a guide used. Either a stationary guide, such as with long-layered styles, or a traveling guide, such as is used when creating uniform layers.
Regardless of the method of layering, it is still important to keep a sense of balance and the overall silhouette in mind. You can't simply chop the hair off at random intervals and create an attractive look. There must be method to the madness.
