Shoulder-length layered hair cuts can add volume and texture, making styling thin locks easier and reducing weight in thick braids.
Butterfly Layers
The butterfly layers haircut is a shoulder-grazing chop with short layers blending with longer ones at the crown for face framing and volume.
This cut is ideal for anyone with mid-length or shoulder-length hair. Face-framing layers work for women of all shapes and can elongate the look of round faces or add balance to oblong faces with side bangs.
Butterfly layers may not be ideal for those with fine or thin hair. Instead, consider opting for a weightless lob with asymmetrical face-framing layers and curtain bangs for a soft and wispy result.
Messy Lob
A lob with textured layers adds an exciting contemporary touch. Tiny, uneven layers can be added for movement and texture.
A layered bob with ashy babylights is a flattering choice for balancing out full-face shapes, softening jaw angles on square faces, or brightening up long foreheads.
A layered bob with bangs can add chic, edgy, or romantic style. This face-framing style works well for casual days or an evening look with a deep side part for added depth and dimension.
Bangs
Bangs offer an easy and stylish way to update your look. Soft framing with invisible layers can blend seamlessly into your hair for an aesthetically pleasing effect.
Voluminous, bouncy layers combined with curtain bangs beautifully frame the face and achieve a classic cool-girl aesthetic.
Medium-length layered haircuts with bangs should have slightly longer front and back layers to make the hair appear denser, especially for thin or delicate locks.
Money Piece
Money piece highlights brighten the face frame without making an all-over change. This coloring technique highlights specific strands along the hairline to create a more defined face structure and lift the complexion.
TikTok users appreciate the resurgence of this trend, especially as its modernization tends to be subtler yet bolder. It works well with all face shapes and hair colors, including dark brown.
Bring photos to show your stylist the ideal thickness and shade of face-framing highlights that complement your length and texture of hair.
