Answer:
Thank you so much!!
Exactly what you told me is what you need to tell your stylist. They should ideally ask you tons of questions to figure out what you need, but not all stylists are as thorough. Basically I’d tell them that you are really hoping to get A LOT (stress that!) of layers without loosing length or dimisinshing the amount of hair around your perimeter. There are some techniques that help to create this look and not loose too much hair. Obviously the more layers you cut, the less hair on your head, so just keep in mind that you’ll be getting a cut that will best fit your hair type.
I hope that was helpful!
