Using a comb, separate your upper layers of hair from your lower layers, around the level of your ears. Tie this hair up and away, so that you can more easily access the lower layers.
You may also wish to divide the lower section of hair into three parts: left, right, and back. This will help ensure that you do not accidentally cut the upper layers while you are working on the lower layers.
Cut excess hair. Using scissors, cut your hair to the intended length of the longest layer. Removing this hair will ensure that you don't waste time layering hair that you don't intend to keep!
Start by taking a small section of hair towards the front and comb through to make sure it is smooth, then place and hold it between your pointer and index fingers, to the place you want to cut. It is easiest to start higher, then bring your fingers down to the desired length, keeping the hair smooth. Then cut the section. Take a second section next to the first, as well as a small portion of the cut section, and cut the new section so that it is even with the previous one.

Use your razor to thin and cut your hair. Thinning with this technique will leave the layers of your hair with many different sub-layers. Take small sections of your hair and twist this small section into a single strand. Take a razor and run it down the strand of hair, thinning and cutting it. The more you do this, the thinner your hair will be. This not only creates layers but also helps existing layers to blend better.
Make sure to go slowly and run the razor several times, to avoid cutting the hair too bluntly or too much. Do not press the razor too hard, you just want to press lightly. Continue twisting and thinning until the lower layers are even along the bottom and at the desired thickness. Layer the next section. Thin the next layer of hair to the desired thickness and length. This section should be shorter than the layer below it. Release the upper layers of hair and resection and tie them if you wish to have three or more layers.
Continue to thin and cut it in the same manner as the previous layer. Be careful not to accidentally cut the lower layers while working on the upper layers. Continue to a third or fourth layer if you wish to. These layers should be the shortest and also contain less hair than in the previous sections.
