How to Style a Shoulder-Level Haircut

A shoulder-level haircut highlights your natural movement and volume without making your locks too heavy. A softly curled bob is ideal for those with textured locks and can easily be altered into an undone loose wave look by scrunching in dry shampoo spray for added volume and texture.

Add caramel highlights to your blonde layered shoulder cut for a lively, colorful style that enhances your complexion without the damaging effects of bleaching. This trending color will brighten up any blonde-layered shoulder cut!

Layers

Whether your locks are fine or thick, adding layers to your shoulder-length haircut can add movement and dimension. Varying heights of face-framing layers will compliment your complexion and eye shape; adding longer layers may reduce thickness, while texturized pieces may help break up density for thicker locks.

Experience instant volume and feminine style with a medium-length layered hairstyle featuring bangs. A face-framing curtain bang that’s slightly shorter at the top will add drama, or go for soft and swept styling for an easy-to-maintain yet flattering style that suits every occasion. If you prefer waves instead, enhancing your layered shoulder-length hairstyle with golden blonde balayage will highlight natural waves further, making its color gradient even more irresistible!

Bangs

Wavy hair requires a shoulder-length cut with long layers and face-framing bangs to add soft feminine touches, using texture spray as necessary to keep this look in place for a casual chic style. Perfect for shopping and brunching with the girls!

Blonde highlights are perfect for shoulder-length hair because they add movement and volume to each strand, complementing each skin tone. Caramel or copper shades work best on warm complexions, while ashy blonde shades complement cool ones. Add subtle strands around your temples to frame your face for added definition, keeping them light and bright with shades that complement your complexion.

Texture

Shoulder-length haircuts should enhance your natural texture. Curly locks may benefit from layers to add movement and body. Layered styles may range from choppy shag to soft, and sad, depending on personal taste or desired look. One-length cuts also help tame frizz while creating dense and fuller strands.

If you are still getting ready for total layered cuts, try adding soft highlights one or two shades lighter and brighter than your natural base color. A deep red hue works exceptionally well on fair skin to add vibrancy to the complexion – its dimension tones look gorgeous against her warm face while complementing her blonde locks beautifully!

Length

Shoulder-length hair is ideal for those with naturally straight, thick locks, as it highlights their volume and texture without looking flat. To add dimension, ask your stylist for long layers with more varied length differences between each one – this will create movement in your strands for added movement and size.

Thick, curly tresses make an impactful statement with shoulder-length haircuts. Try opting for a lob with light layers to show the natural movement of your curls or an undercut with total layers like Solange’s. Add a moisturizing leave-in like SheaMoisture Manuka Honey
