The Feather Lower Is Shaping Up To Be Our Favorite Chop Of 2024

We used to see developments play out slowly over many years, however because of social media’s quick tempo, they now pin-ball forwards and backwards at velocity. The feather lower, although, has the type of longevity and flexibility that may stand up to the present.

Total, there’s two main developments we see yo-yo every season: tremendous shaggy layers and modern, blunt cuts. However the feather lower manages to mix the perfect of each into one chop.

This week, actress Lucy Hale jumped on board. She posted to her Instagram story, noting that she’s joined the “brief(er) hair membership” after a brand new lower by superstar hair stylist, Adam Campell and a comfortable (and barely lighter) color refresh by superstar hair colourist, Matt Rez.

What’s the feather lower?

Feathered cuts have been round for many years, notably within the ’70s and even within the 2000s, when flicky layers (like Alice Cullen) had a fast revival, however the 2020s spin is way softer – with gently feathered out ends versus a rigidly straight baseline and longer layers.

The lower takes its identify from the feathers of a chook and, like a chook, the “feathers” (which on this case are layers) can seem fanned out and textural, or smoothed down for a extra fluid form. It means they will add flickiness and motion, however can equally disappear into a mode, do you have to need one thing sleeker. As for the size, it really works on lengthy to brief types, however we love the relaxed size of a lob or collarbone lower, which finishes on the ideally suited spot to see these comfortable ends.
