Long Layers

Frame Framing Layers
Layers work wonders with all hair lengths and textures, but long locks significantly benefit from being styled in layers.

For this style, stylists use slide-cutting techniques to achieve a gradient effect between lengths, starting at the top of the head and progressing downwards through each section of hair. After finding their starting point and combing forward to locate their starting point, they’ll start clipping away branches at a time until they reach their desired result.
As this technique can be complex for beginners to master, it is best left in the hands of professionals. Proper layer cutting ensures even seamless results; otherwise, the results could be choppy and uneven. To avoid this potential disaster, visit your local salon and allow a pro to do their magic – they also have better tools for cutting layers that flatter your features.
