6. Feathered Ends for Movement
If your medium-length hair feels like it’s just “sitting” there, adding feathered ends is a great way to introduce movement. Feathering involves using a razor or specific cutting technique to taper the ends of the hair, making them look wispy and soft. This is especially effective if you have naturally straight hair that tends to look flat. It adds a “flickable” quality to the ends, giving your hair a more dynamic and energetic feel that is perfect for those who want a light, playful look.
How to Make
While the main length of the hair should be kept in long layers, the actual ends of the hair should be cut with a razor to achieve the feathered effect. This makes the tips look soft and porous. When styling, use a large round brush to blow-dry the ends outward. This emphasizes the feathering and creates a soft, airy movement. Finish with a flexible-hold hairspray to ensure the ends stay “flicked” and don’t fall flat, giving you that bouncy, light-hearted aesthetic all day long.
