Fine hair face framing layers, a hairstyle technique that adds volume and definition to the hair, involves cutting shorter layers around the face to create a flattering frame. An example is the iconic hairstyle of actress Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s, which featured soft, face-framing layers that enhanced her natural beauty.
This technique is particularly beneficial for fine hair types as it can instantly create volume and the illusion of thicker, fuller hair. Historically, face framing layers gained prominence in the 1970s with the emergence of the shag haircut, which incorporated shaggy, layered styles that framed the face.
