Can you have 'upside down' layers?

Bit of a weird question but just wondering. Basically my hair is long and naturally curly but the underneath layer of my hair is not very curly at all so it looks like a have an inch of straight hair sticking out underneath the curly Hmm

I am having my hair cut tomorrow and was wondering if this is something a hairdresser could/would do? Kind of cutting the underneath a bit shorter. Or would it end up looking weird?

It is worth a thought.
Most hairdressers cut Bobs in this way, so it is defo do-able.

My hair is a bit curly too. A hairdresser did some "upside down" layers not intensionally I must say It was the worse haircut I ever had, I couldn't do anything with my hair and I had to go to another hairdresser to have it rectified.

If you have an inch of straight hair sticking out, I would guess that your last cut wasn't very good either.
Once your hair are dry the hairdresser should check if the cut is good or not and rectify it...
Go somewhere else? ask for more layering (normal one)?

You need to make sure you talk with the hairdresser and have her look at your hair before it's washed.

The problem is my hair tends to be up in a ponytail and unwashed when they first see it so all frizzy then of course when they are cutting it is wet so it was not a bad haircut last time just even around the bottom so when the top layer bounces up the bottom layer pokes out. He is here at 6 so I have washed my hair and up wearing it curly to show him the prob so hopefully it can be fixed :)

Yes, I think what you are describing is called an undercut.
