What Is The Difference Between Step Cut & Layer Cut?

Wanna cut your hair to look much more stylish? Well, then the most options are step cut and layer cut. Most people are confused between these two. So, today in this article I am going to clear all your doubts. So let's begin!!

Step cut :

Step cut is nothing but a graduated haircut in which the hair takes the form of cascading steps. There has to be a sharp demarcation between the steps. If you cut a two-step haircut you will see the shortest layer is just above the shoulders and the other one is a few inches below it. Step cut adds volume and bounce to your hair. A step cut would be a great option for all curly hair because it makes the texture even more better.

Layer Cut :

A layered cut is best for long hair because it gives the illusion of length and volume using long hair. In layer cut, hair is arranged into layers, with the top layers cut shorter than the layers beneath. Layering is nothing but a cutting technique that removes weight from the internal length of the hair. But layer cut is not for thin hair, this is for tick hairs. So, it's better to avoid this cut if your hair is thin and try step cut. I am sure that will be better.

So, both haircuts are good and stylish. There is only one major difference between these two cuts, step cuts mainly focus on the natural hair texture, whereas on the other hand layer cuts are more visible. So, for thin hair step cut will be a great option and for thick hair layer cut will be a great option.
