Layers make thick coils look flattering, giving them full shapes while decreasing bulk. Furthermore, they add movement, control frizz, and share your locks with a light, airy finish that flatters them all the more.
Natural hair influencers and celebrities favor this low-maintenance style for its versatility with curly and wavy locks. It even pairs nicely with face-framing bangs for an eye-catching finish.
Shoulder Length
This shoulder-length layered curly hairstyle looks gorgeous on women with medium curly locks. To achieve it, leave your face-framing curls loose or wrap them into a half-up style using pins – leaving them blonde will add an eye-catching glow! To maintain healthy curls, use shampoos and conditioners without harsh sulfates or silicones in their formulation.
To create the girl-next-door effect, wear your big, swirly curls long and stacked for an overall flattering shape. Or ask your stylist to cut some of them into face-framing bangs that fall just above your brows – an option that could add even more body.
Achieving this stunning look requires a layered bob haircut if you have soft and wavy medium-curly hair. Your curls will still naturally bounce and move while the layers elongate your face for a beautiful silhouette. Add caramel balayage highlights for an added refined and glamorous touch.
Wavy
If your hair naturally has waves, embrace its texture. Wavy locks look fantastic with any haircut but are particularly flattering when layered; layers help reduce the weight that could make the locks appear heavy while also creating definition by separating curls. With layers, any style from long face-framing money pieces to shaggy shag cuts like Keke Palmer’s viral “wolf cut” can look incredible.
Keep your wavy locks looking sleek and chic by adding bangs to frame your face. CurtainCurtain cracks may provide more streamlined coverage if the full fringe seems daunting if the entire edge seems daunting, while the complete boundary can be pushed to one side for an effortless style. Wavy hair with bangs makes an elegant statement, whether for a night out on the town or an enjoyable weekend staycation at home.
Pair shoulder-length wavy hair with a deep side part for an edgy and alluring style for a stylish and sensual look. This style will accentuate your facial structure while being easy to maintain with regular trims; just be sure to use texturizing balm as part of your maintenance regime to keep strands under control!
Wavy hair can be easily tangled and subject to frizzing, yet with the appropriate haircuts for wavy hair, you can minimize flyaways and split ends. If you have 2a hair type, avoid layers since they will decrease too much of its voluminous texture, but for 2b or 2c types, layers may offer an effortless textured style with low maintenance requirements.
Add caramel highlights instead if you decide to commit to a full-layered haircut. These rich tones will bring out your natural waves while giving off a sun-kissed glow. For something subtler, try balayage, an advanced coloring technique that blends shades to produce more natural results.
If you love long beachy waves, consider choosing a stacked bob with blonde highlights to keep your locks healthy and gorgeous. The blonde hue will add dimension and accentuate facial features.
Square Face
Square faces feature charming angles that make them easy to recognize. If you have this face shape, one way to soften its features is through layers. Also, consider adding curves to your hair to offset straighter jawlines; keeping length around medium helps soften its overall form, too – depending on your face shape, you may wear this look with or without bangs!
Long layered bobs are one of the most beloved and versatile styles for women with square faces, offering volume to soften an angular jawline and give your locks more volume overall. Wear this style with side-swept fringe for a romantic effect, or add waves or curls for feminine charm.
Short pixie haircuts with layers will draw attention to your face, and you can experiment with various hues until you find one that complements it best. Another excellent short hairstyle for square faces would be a cropped pixie with a side part; this will provide balance while diminishing sharp edges on your features.
Wavy layers help soften your jawline and emphasize your eyebrows if you have a square face. A side-swept ponytail with loose waves may add volume. Add highlights for added dimension.
Women with square faces should opt for a medium shag with bangs to soften its sharp angular lines, and draw attention to your eyes through its choppy bangs and textured layers. You could also experiment with a blonde ombre to light up your face and show off its contours.
If you have a square face shape, blunt bobs or styles that hit right at the chin should be avoided in favor of more flattering styles that balance and elongate the features. Keira Knightley is a prime example of someone who can balance their elements using appropriate haircuts.
Fullness
Women with thick and curly locks often benefit from having them cut layered to reduce their volume and create an angled shape without being overly full or heavy. Layers also add volume by creating individual curls that are less likely to touch each other, creating dense ball shapes on your locks – perfect for women with thick curly hair!
Layered curls are ideal for those with soft, loose, feminine waves. AnnaLynne McCord wears her textured coils in a short layered bob styled just below the ears for extra length and volume, adding caramel balayage highlights for a rich finish.
Zendaya’s lush curls are unmistakably Zendaya. Her Euphoria star locks have been skillfully layered to add volume and length to her chin-length mane, with coppery highlights adding depth and dimension. If you want an added touch of elegance, pair this style with an elegant newsboy cap or beret for a sophisticated French chic aesthetic.
