Layered haircuts are an excellent way to add shape and volume to your hair while being more accessible to style than one-length cuts. To achieve an adorable girl-next-door type, get shoulder-grazing layers cut into your big spiral curls for this playful style. By adding highlights, you’ll increase the dimension and volume.
Long Layers
Layers can add depth and movement to any look when applied to long hair. They work best when worn curly or wavy, while fullness-enhancing layers work exceptionally well on fine or thin locks. Layered looks highlight cheekbones while providing a subtle facelifting effect for any facial structure. Your stylist will often recommend using either a V-shape layering pattern for longer hair or an inverted design for shorter locks, but when cutting layers too fast at the bottom, it’s best to avoid cutting too many layers too close together at this spot; doing so could create holes along your perimeter, so cut layers just below your chin or temples to prevent this mistake. Try balayage or ombre hair color treatments if you want to add some dimension and depth to your layers. These gradual treatments add sun-kissed highlights that only need touch-ups occasionally – perfect if your busy lifestyle means frequent touch-ups!
Short Layers
Shorter layered haircuts provide ample opportunities to play with volume and texture in your strands and most color techniques (including highlights and balayage tones). Furthermore, shorter layered styles are more accessible and more manageable when it comes to styling them as well. Layered shag bobs are an elegant style option for women with long wavy locks. Feathery layers accentuate your facial structure while giving your locks volume and texturizing features to add volume and texturizing effects. Joan Smalls was known to adore this haircut, which works equally well for those with rounder faces. To achieve a subtler style, opt for evenly cut short layers that have slightly faded front-to-front layers to avoid choppy lines and long side-swept bangs that blend with this short layered haircut for maximum impact – adding lengthier side-swept charges can add even more sophistication and elevate any casual ensemble! Try this style; you’ll love how it complements natural waves or curls and enhances them!
Medium Layers
Layering can make long hair easier to manage, help those with thicker strands reduce weight, and add an element of interest for those with curly or wavy locks. Also on trend right now is adding color with the balayage or ombre technique into your layers for a more lived-in appearance. A layered bob is an adaptable haircut designed to suit all face shapes and hair textures, from straight, wavy, or curly locks. Whether worn with side-swept bangs or casually tousled for an everyday style, it makes an excellent statement. For those unable to decide between short pixie or longer bob styles, a medium-length layered cut offers an ideal compromise: providing shape and volume without the added maintenance demands of full-length cuts. Add feathery flicks to the ends of your layered lob to instantly elevate it. Junior Estevam (@juniorestvamhair) advises cutting layers dry for best results and to prevent harsh lines that create holes around your face frame.
Medium Lengths
Graduated layers haircuts offer a textured, face-framing effect to flatter and enhance facial features. A graduated layer cut is an excellent choice for women with thin locks who wish to add volume and texture or to manageably reduce weight from thick locks, making them less heavy and easier to manage. Ask your stylist for an extended layered cut with feathered feathering around the face for an elegant, classic style, or opt for an edgy shag style with choppy layers and blunt bottom for something bolder and make a bold statement with a shag style with choppy layers and direct base to make an eye-catching impression. Curly girls can easily sport a graduated-layer hairstyle with long and short layers to frame their faces and lengthen their necklines. Just ensure that regular trims keep your wavy locks healthy and stylish, and don’t hesitate to add a splash of fiery color for an eye-catching look at any concert or party.
