What elevation is used for an increased layer haircut ?

The increased layer haircut, also known as a layered haircut or graduated layers, involves cutting hair at various lengths throughout the head to create volume, texture, and movement. The elevation used for an increased layer haircut varies depending on the desired outcome, but typically it ranges from 90 degrees up to 180 degrees from the head.

- For a moderate amount of layering with softer blending, elevation at 90 degrees is commonly used. This means that each section of hair is lifted straight out from the head (or up) so that it forms a right angle (90 degrees) with the scalp before cutting. - To create more dramatic, pronounced layers with increased movement and volume, you would use a higher elevation, such as 120 to 180 degrees. Elevations above 90 degrees create shorter layers on top and longer layers underneath.
