Difference between a Beveled and Layered Cut
A: The beveled cut is a form of layering, but the difference in length between the top layer and the bottom layer usually pretty slight – typically no more than two inches.
Layering, of course, is pretty commonly understood, but is far more varied than some realize. All of the various looks possible contain combinations and blending of different layering techniques. Long layers – where the hair is all elevated to a stationary point above the head, work well to create evenly spaced layers all along the length of the hairstyle.
Box layers are generally restricted to interior sections of the hair and are great for finer/thinner hair types to give a solid line along the bottom edge of the hair, yet offer balance and volume management along the central areas of the head.
Uniform layers are great for shorter styles in allowing you to create a flowing textural pattern along the area you are layering. These are created by cutting a guide length, and then using it to cut the hair immediately surrounding it, then using those cuts to cut the next hair in line. It’s called a travelling guide and allows you to cut the hair to uniform lengths. It’s used most in men’s hairstyles and women’s shorter styles.
