3. Step by step: How to make a degrafilado

The degrafilado was born in the 70's and 80's and is one of the favorite hairstyles for women with long hair. Because of its loose and casual style, this hairstyle has been around for many years.

This cut required by young clients and women with medium to long hair (long hair and/or short hair) is not difficult and can be done with or without layers. However, like most haircuts, it demands a proper technique for its execution.

Here's how to do it and some recommendations.

How to make a grafted cut?

A degrafilado cut is a style that is made with the hair in smooth layers that are turned outwards and backwards, thus looking like the superimposed feathers of a bird. The hair is usually parted in the center and then the hair is flipped back towards the opposite side of the face. A layered style with fine texture is necessary and can be created with short straight hair or long curly hair.

Find the style that looks best on you

Find out what kind of layered style you want before you get your hair cut. You can have long hair in layers or you can have very short hair. Before you go to the salon, decide if you want the long or short style.

Typically, 70's degrafilated hair had a fringe that had a parting in the middle, so if you really want to have a degrafilated cut, get a fringe in your hair.

You can achieve this look without having layered hair, but layered hair really helps to create the degrafilated look around the face.

Layer your hair to give the effect: the step by step guide

In order to achieve a good degrafilado style you will need to layer your hair and it would be best to have it done by a professional. If you are doing it on your own you can cut your hair in layers, if you have hair cutting skills, but if you don't have much experience, ask a professional to do the style you want because otherwise you could ruin not only the cut but the natural growth of your hair by not doing it with the proper technique and to achieve it the ideal would be to follow the following steps:

1. Prepare your hair for the cut. Comb it with a coarse toothbrush to remove knots and then wet it with a spray.

2. Separate the hair from the center and then divide it horizontally in different sections, this will allow you to cut it part by part.

3. Determine the length and start cutting.

4. Wash the hair and make the parting in the center.

The important thing before getting a new haircut is to know, according to the proportions of your face, which one enhances your features the most. A change of look is always good to refresh our image and give us more confidence and security about what we project to the world and how others see us.
