Layers add dimension, movement, and definition to any hair length and can help soften thick strands by breaking up their bulkiness. When seeking layers, discuss the effect you want with your stylist – such as framing your face or creating a boho look.
Mid-Length Textured Layers
Medium-length layered haircuts are an excellent way to add texture and movement without cutting too much hair off. This style works for many face shapes and hair types; oval- or round-shaped faces will find this style particularly flattering. Choose a classic look with long, face-framing layers and a side fringe for timeless chic, or opt for more edgy layers that create a cascade effect in a medium-length shag or wolf cut style – these styles work exceptionally well when coupled with wavy locks!
Medium Face-Framing Layers
Straight hair may benefit from having choppy layers to add volume and texture, while thick locks require face-framing layers that soften full cheeks or soften an overly strong jawline while adding movement. Medium-layered bobs can work for all ages and face shapes. Felicity Jones shows how hers can be styled into a deep side part to flatter a heart-shaped face shape and finished off with playful waves for easy upkeep. Add an unexpected modern flair to your medium-layered haircut by opting for a pink ombre look – this will breathe new life into your locks while being appropriate for all seasons!
Long Textured Layers
Long layered hair looks gorgeous on all hair types and lengths. Frame framing layers will soften your face and draw attention to the beautiful eyes and nose in your life, while taking bulk and weight away from your locks and creating movement and volume. If your natural texture is curly, opt for long, windswept layers that accentuate its natural texture for a chic and flattering style. Pair this look with a balayage technique for added depth and dimension. Layers can help women with medium-length hair easily create an eye-catching, low-maintenance style. Choose face contouring layers and curtain bangs to complete this versatile style.
