## Summary

Compare layered shapes by where the shortest pieces begin, how much weight stays at the ends, and how the cut moves.

## How To Use This Collection

The useful difference is not the trend name alone. Compare the shortest face-framing point, crown layering, end density, and how strongly the layers separate when styled.


## Choose Your Path

- **Soft and blended:** Choose long layers or butterfly shapes with a gradual handoff through the face frame.
- **Airy and separated:** Shags and wolf cuts show more visible texture through the crown and ends.
- **Keep more length:** Start with long butterfly cuts, layered hair, and shaggy lobs.
