ExploreO choppy haircut is a joker when it comes to increasing or decreasing the volume of highlights. That's because, depending on how the cut is done, the spiked hair can be more voluminous and with more movement or with a more balanced and distributed volume. Tricks ranging from positioning the scissors to the height of the head where the locks begin to be pinned make all the difference in the final result.
In addition, the chosen haircut can also have an impact on the effect of increasing or decreasing the volume of the locks. If you want to find out how to get the best result according to your hair type, come with stay diva and check out these tips on women's layered haircuts.
Peaked haircut: bet on higher layers to increase hair and spiked strands at the ends to reduce volume
Do you remember that the starting point of the spiked locks makes all the difference? For those with naturally voluminous curly, frizzy or wavy hair, opting for a haircut that is peaked at the ends helps to give your hair more lightness. For those with straight and very fine hair, you can make layered layers from the top of the head and proceed to the ends to create the effect of volume.
This happens because, the more short and close to each other the spiked locks are, the more volume they create in the locks. Generally, to create this type of effect on layered hair, the cut is made with diagonal scissors, while in the less voluminous layered hairstyle, the scissors are vertical and the layers are spaced out or done only at strategic points, as in the spikes.
Short bob haircut: different versions of the short bob create both effects on the locks

For those with little length, the short bob haircut model and the finish is what will dictate the effect you will achieve with the cut. Short cuts like the short bob with spiked ends give the locks more lightness and movement, leaving the volume more balanced, especially if your hair is curly or kinky. Finishing with a styling cream for definition and texturing techniques, such as tape, help enhance the effect of the cut.
On the other hand, those with thinner straight and wavy hair can invest in this same layered cut, but betting on the layers that start closer to the top of the head and go to the ends. At the end, the tip is to use a light leave-in to style the locks without weighing them down and bet on the messy effect, which gives the impression of more movement.
Medium layered haircut: shaggy hair is an option to add volume and long bob to reduce
A post shared by SAL SALCEDO (@salsalhair)
The saggy hair is a medium layered haircut that is super trendy and is perfect for those who want to add more volume to their locks. It is yet another example of a layered haircut in which the layers start to be made at the top of the head and continue along the entire length, which gives this effect to the strands. Another benefit of shaggy hair is that it works on strands of different textures, so whether you're a curly woman wanting voluminous layered hair or a straight woman wanting locks with more body and movement, both can invest in the look.
But if your goal is a more controlled and balanced volume, an alternative to a medium choppy haircut is the long bob - one of the darlings of celebrities and influencers. To achieve a less voluminous effect, enhance the characteristic asymmetry of the cut by lightly peaking the locks from chin height to the ends.
While in shaggy hair the proposal is a lighter, more relaxed and voluminous finish to enhance the peaked hair, in the long bob cut the tip is to bet on a more structured styling to highlight the layers, but keep the volume balanced.
Long layered haircut: how to increase or decrease the volume of strands without losing length?
A post shared by MODERN SALON (@modernsalon)
Investing in a medium or short layered haircut is not the only way to increase or decrease the volume of your locks. Long-haired divas can also add some layered strands to the strands without sacrificing length. And the rule is the same: the more layers and the closer to the top of the head or the ears they start, the more volume.
Another little secret for those who have long hair that is not very voluminous is to cut it along the entire length and keep the base straight, which helps to give the impression of thicker hair, especially the very long ones.
On the other hand, if the goal is to reduce or balance the volume, it is worth betting on more spaced layers and well-cut ends to take the weight off the hair. Another tip is to invest in a combing cream for your hair type that is more concentrated and gives more definition and control to the strands.
