Layers for short hair refer to a hairstyle technique where the hair is cut into graduated lengths, creating volume and texture. A common example is the layered bob, where the hair is cut shorter at the back and gradually longer towards the front.
Layering short hair enhances its style and manageability. It adds volume, reduces bulk, and frames the face. Historically, layered haircuts gained popularity in the 1920s as women embraced shorter hair.
