Layers Haircuts For Long Hair

Layers Bring Texture and Movement

Layers are an ideal way to bring texture, movement, and life back into long strands, balance out thick hair types, and look stylish when colored with the latest trend: balayage.

Choosing Layers Based on hair Type

V-Cut for Men and Women

The V-cut has long been a timeless style for men looking for dapper hair layers and remains chic today. Try opting for a V-cut with a light ombre color for an understated yet stylish look. Make your layered hairstyle even more feminine by adding waves for a soft and feminine finish. This will create a beachy Brigitte Bardot-esque vibe, perfect for summer!

Flattering Side Bangs

The side bangs haircut is a highly flattering style for all face shapes. A curly bob with side bangs is another trendy look for long hair, easily created without cutting. Additionally, experiment with different colors, such as peach shades, that work great against olive skin tones for this cut. Adding a side-swept bang to a long layered shaggy bob is an effective way to frame the face, soften its appearance around the eyes, and create an eye-catching style with balayage highlights.

Structuring with Deep “V” Cut

A deep V cut with layers will give it more structure if your hair is naturally curly. A V-shape haircut can still look striking and modern if you have long, straight locks. Choppy textured looks will always stay in style, and your stylist can add even more dimension to your long layered haircut by feathering around the face and adding light ombre color.

Adding Movement with Feathered Layers

Long, straight hair can feel heavy; ask your stylist about feathered layers to add some movement and balance your locks more effectively. Gabrielle Union is channeling early 2000s style with her feathered hair look, complete with stepped layers that add volume and flattery, highlighted with balayage highlights to provide texture and dimension in her locks. Soft balayage shades on long hair could be just what’s needed to complete your look.

Enhancing with End Layers

Long layers are an effective way of adding movement and texture to a straightforward style. If you want a youthful and flattering appearance, ask for face-framing layers that draw focus to your most desirable features. Your stylist can craft soft angled bangs to complete this classic long-layered haircut. Choppy layers are bolder and don’t blend as seamlessly, making them the ideal way to add contrast to your hairstyle. Pairing choppy layers with balayage highlights makes your highlights stand out and pop.
