Long-layered hairstyles are an elegant way to add volume and texture to long locks, and this versatile haircut looks beautiful on most hair textures and is easy to style.
Shaping Around the Face
Long hair can be beautiful and elegant, yet sometimes it doesn’t complement our faces as desired. Layering can help fix that. From straight locks that appear too plain to unruly wavy locks with too many waves tumbling outward, layering often solves these problems. Additionally, layering is a great way to add volume and depth to thin tresses as it adds volume without losing the depth of style.
Request long layers in a subtle V around your face for an eye-catching silhouette. This style works particularly well for round faces as its slight angles balance out cheek and jawline widths. As another option, try short layers that are angled inward to frame your face and draw attention to your eyes. This style works on both thick and fine hair types, and you can experiment with various color options for an edgier look; Balayage or Ombre may work better.
Short Layers
For an effortlessly casual look that works year-round, long layers in your pixie or bob haircut can create the ideal casual look. Just keep them as subtle as possible for maximum harmony – soft texturizing can add depth, while parted curtain bangs complete this harmonious, simple style. Copper autumn hues look beautiful here, but dark ash brown or even lavender could work just as well!
This stunning layered bob is ideal for anyone seeking an effortlessly classic style. The longer front layers provide face-framing, while shorter back layers ensure a sleeker appearance. Kristen Stewart has always sported layers. Even her Twilight character Bella donned an exquisitely layered pixie! If your hair is naturally curlier than average, layers effectively control and manage its waves. Plus, they give thin hair a thicker appearance.
Wavy Layers
Layered hair can add extra volume and movement to long wavy locks and create an eye-catching silhouette. Layering can also work wonders for women with straight strands by adding texture and movement by curling them using a large iron before smoothing them with smoothing cream for sleek results.
To achieve this style, begin by curling each strand using the large iron before finishing up by smoothing with smoothing cream for sleek results. Honey balayage highlights can add some beautiful colors, emphasize the layers in your hair, and highlight your face shape with soft-textured ends framing the face for a light and airy appearance. This hairstyle works best on women with oval face shapes; oval-faced women may find soft-textured lots framing their features and framing the eyes more prominently while giving their faces an overall younger feel. This hairstyle makes an eye-catching statement.
Layers on Long Hair
Layers can add texture without taking away length and balance proportions for a more polished appearance. Long layers can work for any hair type and style, from straight manes to thick densities like Demi Lovato’s and SJP’s preferred more mermaid-esque looks.
If you want to give your straight mane an edge, try styling it with a side-parted curtain bang featuring subtle layers for a modern shaggy effect. Alternatively, create an effect like Demi Lovato and SJP, preferring the full waterfall effect with long layers cut across your entire head – ideal if your densities fall between medium to thick densities! Short layers also work great on long hair. They create an eye-catching framing effect when applied near the face and are an excellent way of accentuating highlights or lowlights. Their natural U-shape helps colors blend more smoothly – check out this gorgeous purple hair idea as an example of their stunning effectiveness!
