I think he gives me the best haircut which not much ex.
usually a "layered cut", means he uses comb to life out the hair and trim it in progressive style...the outcome is a thin layer of fine hair but its not short.. jus medium length hairs. It is best because when my hair grows it all grows straight and same lenght.then if decide to keep it, i can grow it long without going for alterations.

I go malay or chinese male barber cuz from young already like tat. Except for my mother I dun like ladies to cut away my hair cuz I believe my hair is a source of strength for me juz like Samson. Cutting them away by a lady is like my power sucked away by a lady. I prefer men to take my power and not a lady Mr. Green

this cut is the early 1990s used by traditional barbers, but in fact has little information about it. this term appears to be used to describe different styles over time.

layered cut mean different for hairdresser and traditional barber. traditional barber according to him is it means cutting the hair to "even" out and portruding, curly or uneven hair so that your hair gets a neat makeover giving a "naturally thin but dark " appearance and so it is haircut to reduce the thickness of hair according to the old fashioned barber.
if u want to go on further u can reduce the length of hair as well if u wish to.Kinda different form tapered or short hair cuts where the barber uses the machine cutter straight on the head to achieve a haircut which show a "light colouredness or the scalp skin" after the cut. Unlike layered, this form of hair cutting will change and bring out the natural shape of your head which some people dont like to. ....

after cutting layered , it also exposes the "growing hair" underneath , this "growing hair" will grow the same way it is cut but it normally will grow back untidy again after a long time till your next visit to the barber.
