Your stylist can help you sport long layers with modern ease – this shoulder-length cut with a side-swept fringe is an excellent example. Combine it with caramel balayage for an attractive, low-maintenance hue.
Messy hair cuts
Messy haircuts have quickly become one of the hottest styles this year. They are easy to maintain and suit all types of locks.
Long Shag
Long shag haircuts look lovely on straight and wavy locks, including thin ones that sometimes feel transparent. Their soft layers gently fan around the face while wispy curtain bangs help frame the forehead. Feathering is also back in fashion as an effective way to add shape and volume to long tresses.
Messy negligent styling brings this long layered haircut to life, giving it a rock ‘n roll edge. The blonde balayage highlights give an effortless appearance and highlight its wavy strands beautifully.
A more restrained version of the long shag provides a sculpted appearance. Your stylist can achieve this style by creating a center part and long curtain bangs emphasizing jawlines and cheekbones.
Short in the Front
For a chic and sophisticated look, choose this long layered haircut featuring shorter front pieces that cascade into longer ones. It works well with curly, wavy, or straight hair types, adding contrast and dimension without cutting off sides and back strands.
This exquisite long hairstyle for women features soft, center-parted face-framing bangs with subtle highlights that pair beautifully with its complete and lush mane. Wear this look with straight or wavy hair, adding subtle highlights for more dimension and visual interest. A bit of color never hurts; chestnut or caramel shades may make an eye-catching option when applied to long layers.
Pin Straight
Long, straight hair can become lifeless without proper styling. Layered cuts that showcase your natural texture are great ways to bring life and interest back into long consecutive locks, such as this layered shag with longer front pieces that cascade down toward your face and create movement throughout.
A resounding “V” cut emphasizes thickness and density, while short face-framing bangs add contrast and enhance your features. This layered style works well with curly, straight, wavy, or non-curly hair types alike, but particularly striking are dark chocolate brown hues with warm blonde tones that blend in.
Bring some modern bohemian flare into your look by braiding and pinning back loose front strands to show off wavy or curly layers – this style looks romantic yet chic, making it suitable for date nights and group outings with friends.
Middle Part
The middle part of the hairstyle is an adaptable look that works for different styles and lengths of locks. From sleek and straight for an eye-catching sexy vibe to beach waves that bring the ocean right in, this look works beautifully for women with OK to medium locks who wish for some texture in their face – remember to use volumizing styling products such as mousse or texture spray when blow drying your locks for best results.
This style looks especially great with bob cuts featuring face-framing layers. The middle part makes this chin-grazing cut feel modern and sleek; pair it with a printed silk scarf headband to achieve Rosie the Riveter vibes!
Half-Up/Half-Down
Half-up, half-down hairstyles offer another feminine way to give long locks a funky aesthetic. From the front, this look resembles a polished ponytail with some extra flourishes such as flower barrettes or tucked-in pieces of hair tucked beneath it. This look works particularly well if your long locks lack texture – and should also work great if your style features longer, straighter locks that need some consistency added!
For a Rodarte-inspired, modern, messy braid, try wrapping one braid around another for a knotted effect – this look pairs particularly nicely when worn with natural waves or curls. To achieve a sleek finish, use a smoothing serum such as Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum before securing your locks; afterward, mist your style with flexible hold hairspray like Got2b Volumaniac to ensure its shape and guarantee its form.
