Capas (pronounced "cah-pahs") is the Spanish word for layers. In hairstyling, it refers to a haircut where the hair is cut in graduated lengths, creating a layered effect.
Layered haircuts are popular because they can add volume, movement, and style to hair. They can also be used to frame the face and highlight certain features. Capas can be added to any hair length or type, but they are especially flattering on long hair.
