Peaked / Layered

V-cut hair is a great bet for a versatile and functional cut, but if the idea is to bet on a cut that has movement, it's worth mixing the cut with the cut or in layers.

In the case of spiked ends, the hair gains a little more volume and is perfect for thin strands, which gain a natural movement.

The layers, on the other hand, take the weight off the voluminous hair and make the V-cut lighter, which is less marked.

The first inspiration for the inverted V cut in short hair brings the idea of the curly hair cut.

In the proposal, the curly hair is cut evenly and short at the back and the longer ends go at the front, creating the idea of the inverted.

The result is an asymmetrical cut, with long ends, but with a more harmonious look, as the long ends follow the height of the rest of the hair, but are a little more elongated, without leaving the front too uneven.

This inverted V cut style is also quite functional for straight hair, as the proposal shows.

In this case, straight hair makes the elongated ends more evident, but still with a harmonious and balanced look.

In addition to the modern cut, the hair still has lighter ends, which enhances the inverted V cut and the modern look.

Long hair

In long strands, the V cut is a great bet to remove the heavy air that the hair can pass through.

However, it is necessary to take some care with the cut with V-tips for long hair, because the V-tip should not be too sharp and thin, which could leave the look with a “tail” without volume in long hair.

The ideal for the long V cut is to make a uniform cut with a less pronounced V, leaving the back end more elongated, but without losing volume.

Wash your hair and with the strands still wet, divide them in the middle from the front to the back of the neck, leaving each half on one side;
Start by pulling your bangs forward and decide on the length of the cut. If the idea is to cut a fringe, a good tip is to bet on a diagonal cut, which makes the long fringe lighter;
With the bangs already cut, divide the hair again;
Choose one of the sides to start cutting;
On the chosen side, take a lock next to the fringe, comb it and decide the height of the cut;
With two parallel fingers, hold the tip of the lock diagonally downwards (as if the finger were going down);
Cut the ends following the markings made by the fingers, and in this way you create the guide strand, which will guide the length of the rest of the hair;
Take a new strand next to the guide strand, and again make the marking movement with your fingers following the height of the longest end of the guide strand, and cut as well;
Take one strand followed by the other and do the same procedure until you finish this side of the hair;
At the end of that side; take that half and check if any ends are too uneven, and if so, cut diagonally with the guidance of the fingers;
After fixing all the uneven ends on that side, it's time to move on to the other half of the hair;
On the other side, do the same procedure, and pay attention if, during the marking of the cut, the fingers form the idea of the “V” upside down;
Do the whole procedure on that other side following the same height in length and the cut is finished.
