How to Cut Hair Into Chunky Layers
Chunky layers add flare to your hairstyle, allowing you to create a more modern look out of thick, wavy hair or add shape to a blunt-cut bob. You don't need to follow a specific pattern to achieve the chunky layered cut. Chunky layers are randomly selected to create this cut. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Start with a few chunky layers. Repeat this process to add more chunks if you find you need more chunks after styling.
Fine hair is less suitable for a layered haircut and is best achieved by seeing a professional stylist, as this type of hair can end up looking wispy and too thin if done improperly.
