The girls around here are wanting these layers like the lead singer of Flyleaf.  Basically it's just really short layers at the top with some long stringy hair hanging down in the back and sides.  What's the easiest way to cut this?   My method has worked fine but I'm all about some new ideas here.  Thanks!  :)

alot of my clients have requested different versions of this hair cut

and ive come to realize that the easiest way to do it with the most personalizing it to section out an eclipse circle on the top of the head with the center of the circle being wherever the client is choosing to part their hair...or in the center for a versatile look (size of eclipse demeding on how thick they want the remaining perimeter

on the remaining hair take everything from the mastiod process back and slide cut a flat round layer or more of a square concave

then go into your eclipse and using the legth of your shortest bottom layer angle in your concave layer for the top. I tend to eyeball mine and point cut it for a better texture

depending on the color placement and client i will section off some disconnects

after my blow dry i resection wagonweal pie pieces and shatter the layers even more
