Layered Haircuts . . . What type works best for you?

“Layered Haircuts
are In”Are you noticing a ton of layered haircuts lately, but wondering what type would fit you best?  If so, I am here to help. Layered haircuts are very popular lately for a variety of reasons. One reason being that layered haircuts are very versatile, another reason is because many hairstyles require layers to lay just right. Here are some tips on how to find the perfect layered haircut for your hair.

Layered Haircuts for Short Hair

Short layered haircuts add dimension to short hairstyles.

A long layered ‘pixie’ cut works well for those with short hair. If you currently have short hair and want to know what to do with it next, why not add in some long layers to add body and texture to your current style? I like layered haircuts like this one because it is a style that would suit almost anyone. You can be 20 or 80 and wear this haircut with style. If you are on the younger end of that spectrum, spice up this hairstyle with texturizing products to give your hair a piece-y look; and if you are on the older side of the spectrum, you can wear this hairstyle straight or add mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a small round brush for added volume.

Layered Haircuts for Long Hair

Layered haircuts can give long hair body and movement

Looking to do something fun with your long hair? Then try layers! Layers can add so much to a dull, long hairstyle. Long layered haircuts are perfect for those that don’t want to give up their length, but want to try something new. Layers help to bring out body and movement on otherwise lackluster long hair. Scrunch in a sea salt spray to bring out natural waves in long layered haircuts or curl hair in small sections with the curling iron tilted vertically for beautiful curls a la Jessica Simpson.

Layered Haircuts for Every Hair

Layered haircuts can help any length

If you are at an ‘in-between’ length with your hair, try adding a few layers to give you a fresh style without sacrificing the length. You can choose to add layered bangs, face-framing layers or just some light layering all over. There are plenty of layered haircuts to choose from for any hair type and length.

Keep in mind that if you have long or medium length thick hair, layered haircuts can help you to remove added bulk and refresh your style. Fine or thin hair can also benefit from layers, if your style is short already. Short layered haircuts can actually add bulk to fine hair by creating added volume and body throughout your style.
