Long Layered Hairstyles
Long layered hairstyles can be worn all year long, and can look great no matter what the occasion. They look great on those who have round or pear shaped faces, since the layers can work to change the shape of the face and make it look longer than it actually is. Layered hair can also add a great amount of volume to any type of hair, so those with thin and flat hair can improve their look with layers. Layered hair is great for those who want to bring more attention to the beauty of their face, since layers will bring the attention inward rather than outward.
Long layered hairstyles look will let you keep the length of your hair while allowing you to achieve a softly feminine look around your face. Don't be afraid to find the style that suits your face shape the best! Locks that are cut to chin-length give round faces some much-needed length. With longer faces, consider a series of short layers that will show off the angles of cheekbones and the shape of your chin. Depending on your personal style, you can go for long, gently-falling layers or for a more abrupt, choppy cut, which will provide you with a more aggressively modern look.
One advantage of long layered hairstyles is the fact that they require very little maintenance and preparation to look good. A quick trim every six weeks from a stylist who is familiar with your hair should do, and the rest of the time, you can pull your hair up or back or leave it loose. For a sporty, playful look, pull back your hair but leave long tendrils to frame your face. If you're interested in a more mature, sensual look, try combing some leave-in conditioner into your hair and then use your hands to give it some gentle waves.
For some added style for layered looks, you can add highlights and lowlights to your hair. This will bring out the different chunks of layers, making them stand out more and do their job. Layered hairstyles can be easily maintained, especially for those with naturally straight hair. You can either dry it straight and add definition to the ends with spray mouse or gel, or choose to go chunky by adding wax for a wet look. It can be worn natural and still have a great deal of volume, or you can blow-dry it upside down for even more. Long layered hairstyles can be easily achieved.
