Choosing the Right Hair Texture and Thickness
According to Jess Le, a feathered haircut is best suited for medium to thick hair density and straight to wavy hair texture. If you have super curly hair, the feathered cut may not be as noticeable and can make finer hair appear thinner. It is important to consider your hair’s natural texture and density when opting for a feathered haircut.
Le advises, “A feathered haircut works well for someone with medium to thick density and straight to wavy texture. Keep in mind that this cut may not be ideal for super curly hair and can make fine hair look thinner.”
Considering Face Shapes and Features
Different face shapes require different considerations when choosing a feathered haircut. Jess Le suggests that feathered cuts are most flattering for those with rounded face shapes, including round, oval, long, and heart shapes. For those with square or more defined jawlines, a feathered haircut can accentuate and frame those strong facial lines.

Styling Tips and Tricks
To bring out the best in your feathered haircut, Le recommends using specific styling techniques and products. A blowout can give your hair movement and volume, enhancing the feathered layers. Loose waves also work beautifully with this cut, emphasizing the texture in the layers.

For styling, Le recommends using a blow dryer brush and a 1.75″ curling iron. These tools can help you achieve the desired look and maintain the feathered effect. However, it’s important to consider your lifestyle when choosing a feathered haircut. If you prefer a low-maintenance style, it’s worth discussing quick styling tips and tricks with your stylist or considering an alternative haircut.
Le advises, “For styling a feathered cut, a blow dryer brush and a 1.75″ curling iron are perfect tools. However, if you prefer a low-maintenance style, consult your stylist for quick tips or consider a different cut.”
