Medium Length Layered Hair Styles

Try opting for a textured bob for an effortless, layered hair style that turns heads and can easily be styled. A textured cut will add definition and elongate your face shape while brightening straight locks. Feathered layers add an airy look to thick strands while still allowing movement. This shoulder-length layered hairstyle showcases the signature messy styling characteristic of feathered layers – and pairs it beautifully with highlights for an eye-catching finish!

Face-Framing Layers

Face-framing layers involve your hairdresser cutting strands at various lengths to frame the face and define features while softening jawlines for an overall softer appearance. They can also act as an add-on feature in a bob haircut that boldly expresses who you are! Straight bobs often appear heavy at the front. By adding face-framing layers in front, face-framing styles can instantly lighten and brighten your look. Layers can make any lob seem much fuller by adding texture and volume to its strands, while side parts and face-framing layers add an instant modern flair. Bangs work exceptionally well with these layered medium hairstyles; messy, full bangs (such as this style) and sculptured micro bangs look fantastic when styled this way. Just be mindful that face-framing strands tend to get oilier faster than others, so tinted dry shampoo may need to be used regularly for best results.

Textured Layers

No matter the thickness and unruliness of your locks, a medium-length layered haircut can give them volume, balance, and texture. Layers work exceptionally well in curlier and wavy hair types – plus, they’re easy to manage while being versatile enough for different styles. Adding layers can give your hair a fresh and vibrant new look. While smooth layers provide a classic and sophisticated aesthetic, textured techniques offer more of a lived-in texture that adds dimension to a blunt cut or creates a lived-in bob-style amount. A textured bob can add depth with its choppy layers enveloping your face or provide subtle texturized effects to a blunt-cut style. Straight tresses can still achieve an eye-catching style with layered hair by giving it a tousled finish like actress Rose Byrne does with her sleek yet modern layered bob with loose waves for an eye-catching style. Long, wispy bangs also go well with this style and can help create a fresh and youthful appearance when tapered at the ends.

Long Layers

Medium-length layered hair styles are an increasingly popular choice, offering endless styling opportunities. Long layers will give your straight locks movement while adding volume. In addition, this look works wonders for those with wavy or curly locks, as it helps reduce bulk and enhance their natural strand pattern. Medium-length layered shag cuts can help those with thinner locks make their waves appear thicker by thinning out layers toward the ends, creating fuller effects. This style works particularly well when worn with bangs for a balanced look and can even be customized further using various fringe types like blunt, curtain, and side-swept. When selecting a layered hairstyle, keep your face frame in mind. A suitable layered hairstyle can help balance out facial features and make you appear more appealing, especially when combined with bangs that complement them.

Two-Layer Cut

When upgrading your look without cutting too much length off, two-layer cuts offer the ideal way to do it without drastically shortening it. They add texture, depth, and variety without drastically shortening length – perfect for straight hair that needs a volume boost! Plus, they’re easily maintained as they can be styled sleekly and elegantly or retro. The middle-parted look of this layered hairstyle makes it gorgeous, highlighting the magnificent texture of your locks while providing a lovely framing effect to frame your features beautifully. It is the ideal style for women with heart-shaped faces as it helps soften them. When getting a layered haircut, you must communicate to your stylist what effect you are after – such as removing bulk from your cut, framing your face, or creating a boho style. Also, inform them if you prefer blunt or wispy layers.
