The Difference Between Horizontal and Vertical Layering for Haircuts

- The main difference between a vertical and horizontal layering pattern is how the weight is distributed and how visual the cutting line is.
The way a haircut is sectioned prior to cutting is like a roadmap for the style. Knowing the differences between vertical and horizontal layering patterns will ensure predictable results.
Vertical Layers - When a typical vertical section is elevated 90° and cut straight across, it falls with a soft edge because the curve of the head naturally graduates the ends so they fall softly and blend. If that same section is point cut with peaks and valleys, as those peaks and valleys fall they too soften with the change in elevation.
Horizontal Layers - For more weight and visual impact, use horizontal sections. When a horizontal section is elevated 90° and point cut with peaks and valleys, the section falls at the same angle as it was cut, leaving more mass and a less blended, more graphic line.
Try something new this week, really think about the results you want before sectioning and see if vertical versus horizontal sectioning can make an impact on your work.

You are the first one I see on youtube to talk about peaks and valleys cutting. This makes me understand the idea of point cutting in a clear way
Finally!! A guy who can speak and show a technique at the same time!! 🙆♀️👉😊
Guys you are the best, keep on posting vids, I love watching your tutorials. Masters of haircutting!
I love this video, would you comment on what is best for wavy hair horizontal or vertical and straight cut Vs. peaks and valleys?
I am a huge fan of your teaching ways and the overall energy and attitude you bring to these educational videos. I am not a professional hairdresser, although becoming one is a 'secret' dream of mine. Thank you for your guidelines, advice, and thorough and clear explanations. ^_^
This has helped me second think my layering so much
thanks for the tips! A quick question if they wnat more layers just continue with more vertical section down?
Great explanation! Thanks!
Wow great visuals and explanation!!
Thank you very much to share the information .
omg this has made my struggles with hair cutting so much easier, I can't wait to implement this in cosmetology school soon.
Always great information.
Thank You The best video I have seen I found exactly what I needed to know

So helpful...thank u!

If you want to take weight off the bottom of the hair, would you cut it vertical with notching but in a pie shaped section?

Thank you soo much
Welcome 😊
I appreciate understanding the difference if you are cutting the ends with peaks and valleys. but Is there really a difference in layers cut with blunt ends vertically vs cutting blunt horizontal layer? Thank you very much for your videos. They are very well done.
Helpful to understand the usefulness of each layering but I couldn't really tell what he does different when he says he's switchin to horizontal.
I was actually looking for a video that shows the results of the two techniques.
Genius
I really like all your videos but .. I would like to see you do a haircut from start to end of a Pixie cut
Follow up re Elsa Haas comments. Do you have any videos for properly cutting wavy, frizzy, shoulder length hair? I, too, ask for no texturing or shattered edges and that’s all they know how to do. I’m giving up and gonna grab the scissors myself. Help!
inspiring
When to cut horizontally and when vertically
Thanks, i will try the tips! Samantha
Thanks Terry!
oh que pena que no tengan videos en español, estoy aprendiendo y sus videos son lo más!!! pero pierdo mucho al no saber inglés
just layered my hair in my bathroom and it’s so much lighter :)
i liked
Sir plz tell is this okay for wavy hair m new to cutting
that would like nice. It seems like doing the peaks and valleys in that direction kind of points the layers towards the face. I guess like a directional forward. Is that true or am I wrong?
If you think in very technical terms, it does logically seem that it would, being that short hair tends to influence long hair. To be honest, it's not something I'm usually over conscious of and I haven't noticed an influence on hair direction. There are so many factors that play into the saying "short hair pushes long hair" ...it's not always a true statement. If you are creating a lot of strong short areas with very minimal long pieces, then you may see an influence on direction. Good question, I hope this helps.
+Sam Villa Hair Tutorials yes I get what you are saying. After watching the video again I realized it didn't influence it either way and I had just assumed it would. Thank you again for answering me!
Sam please the vídeos in spanis!!!
i `m Argentina
I have naturally medium curly hair which I wear both straight (flat iron or blow dry) and curly. I like to keep long layers in my hair but I'm not a fan or vertical cutting or what they call texturizing because on curly hair that technique equals frizz. I always tell the stylist I want blunt ends. They say yes, ok but then proceed to cut the very way I ask them not to! Please tell me how to communicate this to my stylist. I have had three consecutive hair cuts I do not like!
Elsa Haas
Are you looking to keep the ends of your hair look blunt? There are many ways to layer hair but still keep the ends thick and blunt rather than leaving them thin and wispy.
Jessica Angela Other than the horizontal layering technique, which ones are they?
Elsa Haas I get the same crap haircut too. Why do stylists never listen?
Stop them when they start cutting that way and retell them.
I have shoulder length thin hair...so which will be appropriate to create volume and thickness in my hair without reducing length...kindly guide for perfect style...Thank you..
neelum n blunt cut no layers!
Just stick to basic 90° up angle hair cut will gives u lots of volume bingo

I likeeeeee this estilo siempre miro san villa
What would it look like if I held my hair out straight from my head and cut it 6 in all around
Hi I have curly hair from the root and my hair has always been okay in a bob style but my hairdressers boss said to her to snip upwards into the ends when dry.....now my hair looks 2 inches ( or more) thick at the bottom 😞 its cut too short to have it cut again 😞
Sorry to hear that! It sounds like the texturizing from the point cutting might have caused your curl to expand... that can happen if the texturizing is too aggressive.
Sam Villa Hair Tutorials yip i have very thick hair anyway...now I look like I have a wedge cut 😞
I don’t understand why the first section in the back is brought to all the way up but then it switches for the next section. Can someone explain to me?
please send me the name of the video and artist and I will ask them to review and respond
I want shears like those. How much does it cost?
here is a link to all of our shears :-) www.samvilla.com/pro/products/shears
bro...can pliz show how to cut the sides of the hair of a layer cut?
there are so many im confused....which is best?
Wow big difference from a small step
Wish he would have shown (by actually cutting) the first 2.
I have not found any hairdresser that knows how to do either of those methods correctly. I am tired of going to a hairdresser, paying good money, having to go back for them to fix it , and still coming away with a very uneven and bad haircut. Please is there some one near 01923 that can do these methods correctly??
At least you back for them to fix it.. I’m to embarrassed and don’t like confrontation. I have super thick hair and I find someone good and stick with them for a years until their consistency fails.
I don't understand what you mean. I learnt, that you take the comb line vertical or horizontal, and what you had were both horizontal lines......
I think it's just a difference in terminology and how we are taught to see sections or cutting lines. At :36 seconds in, Andrew takes a section that goes up and down on the head which we would refer to as vertical. At 1:21, he takes a section from front to back on the head which we refer to as a horizontal section. Hope that helps. Thanks for your comment!
back in my day we were taught to check our cuts the opposite way ...so if we cut vertical we then checked horizintal..... so it didn't make a difference in how we layered the hair ....again I say back in my day ...which is more then 20 yrs ago lol uggghhh time flys
Kittenpurrrs whenLoved we still learn that way...😉
Amy Warr well it makes sence then lol ... so is don't understand how cutting layers one way is different from the other way .... it confused me cuz we always checked the opposite ... so either way would be the same ......am I making sence or do I just sound crazy hahhaha
Kittenpurrrs whenLoved I just saw a video from Kim Moore on that! She says the angle and hair length matters, but yes, you are making sense. :)
I was trained seven years ago at college but trained by someone else quite a few years before that and I was taught to check it horizontally as well not guess it is right and just start chopping at it.
I think there is not any difference if cutting angle is same. but I want to know true answer.
Please show how to cut own hair in steps.
My hair does NOT look good in Horizontal layering but that is the only type of layers stylist in this area seem to know how to do. I now know to ask my stylist for VERTICAL layers instead -- Hope they know the difference.
Tresa Norton prob not .. the only stylist that know what they are doing are on iTube .. and show off because they are being seen ... I give up with stylists .. they suck
Sir can you make video in hindi
