    like, i know it has to be long, but are there different types of layer? i just know that once u grow it ouit long and messy, you go to the barber, and then that's where it gets confusing, like do they just know what to do or how to layer it and i just ask? or do i gotta ask in a specific way which will turn out the way that i want it, which is kinda like alex fong's hair ^_^

    as far as i know there are a few ways to layer the hair...some use blade and some use normal cutting scissors and some use special scissors just for trimming and layering...

    no need to be confused...just show alex's pic to the barber and he's do his job(like what hkbk has mentioned) lol...

    lol. there's different ways for layering hair. but usually, it's when the salon person spilts your hair into layers. [top, middle etc... how many layers actually depends on how thick your hair is or how much you want it layered.] then the barber cuts the layers in different lengths. usually, the top layer is the shortest but you can do it other ways too. like everyone else said... if you want alex fong's hair, then just show a picture of him and his hair to the hair cutter person

    The best way to get the hair you want is to have a picture of it with you, then it would make it easier for stylist to give you the hair you desire. Depending on the stylist, when you say layered cut, they'll give you the layer they only know of.
