Layers add depth and drama to hair. Did you ever notice those bangs and layers rustling in the wind in the movies, giving the character a more vibrant look?

We can say here that the layer is the non-paid actor, which enhances every element of the look.

Exactly, layers are not all about drama. It gives you a more unique look without changing your hair length. So, if you don’t have a layered haircut now, get ready to get one.

Although layers look stylish, you must know styling methods to avoid looking the same daily.

Here are all the things you need to know about styling!

1. A Quick Guide

We have been confused many times about which haircut we should get. Sometimes, we cannot decide because of many trending looks.

Remember, no trend can decide which haircut you should get because it depends upon your face shape, hair length, and bulk.

So let’s get you a perfect haircut by considering these things.

1.1 Face Shape

We all know face shape is essential not only for makeup but also for haircuts. If you try to find the best hairstyle, it still doesn’t look good on you. Here you go. You need to know your face shape.

We all have distinct facial features, and the same goes for shape. You can have a ground diamond square-shaped face.

If you know your face shape, it is good, but if you don’t know. Let’s try to find out.

All you need to do is compare your face length with the width. Then, try to connect all the angles of your face for more precision.

Layers look good on almost all face shapes. Still, here are some of the best pick layered hairstyles for your face shape:

1. Oval: You can go for a pixie haircut with curtain bangs, enhancing key features. Don’t choose very short layered hairs.

2. Diamond: Try long layers or a shaggy layered look.

3. Round: Layers look flattering with a round face with long bangs.

4. Rectangular: The best look is volume, so try for face-framing layers.

You can go and further explore.

1.2 Hair Type

We often choose a haircut based on our face shape, but there can be something missing. It can be that your hair looks too low in volume, or maybe it is coarser, not pretty edgy, which can be because your hair type doesn’t suit that haircut.

It is much easier to find your hair type than face shape, like it can be straight, which is no curl.

But if you are worried that your hair is damaged and looks freezy, you are confused if it is curly or straight.

It would help if you did not worry because every time your hair is repaired or grows again, it will be your hair type, not the one you changed.

Your hair type is based on genetics. You can style your hair with curls or use other styling techniques. That’s why this is not the only parameter for deciding your haircut.

Let’s see which haircut suits your hair type-

1.2.1 Straight

Long layered hairs can be impressive for your hair look if you want to add volume. But it would help to consider your face shape because sometimes layers can make your face look longer or edgy.

Sometimes, when you try layers on straight hair, it looks choppy, but you can add waves.

Long layers with face-framing, butterfly haircut, and long layers with curtain bangs are some you can try on.

1.2.2. Wavy

They were puzzled because neither straight nor curlier, wavy hairs are curves.

You can have different densities of waves. Try going for long-layered haircuts, long-tousled layers, short-layered Bob, or textured layers.

You also need to take care of wavy hair because ignoring it can result in a phrase that will destroy your haircut.

1.2.3. Curly

If you have curly hair type and think finding a perfect haircut is difficult. Remember that layers mean increasing the dimension movement of your hair so that it can be a better option for you.

You can try Shaggy layers, chopped layers, or soft layers. Layers will rock your hairstyle.

1.3 Texture of Your Hair

People often mistake type for texture, but both are different. So it’s not easy to know what your hair texture is?

The real problem is that one sometimes gets confused, sometimes with thin frizz to thick hair texture. There is thin or delicate, thick or coarse, and medium hair texture.

1.3.1 Thin Hair

A layered haircut can be the best option to add volume to your fine hair.

Try a long layered hairstyle, which can be at volume around the face. Even adding textured layers will enhance the beauty.

You will be surprised that many layered haircut options exist for fine hair. There is this thing said that thinner hairs with subtle layers are what a refined look is called.

Some more layered haircut options are Pixie, medium-length layers, long layered haircut bangs, and straight and blunt layered hairstyles.

1.3.2 Thick Hair

Thick hair means the more significant density of hair follicles. Thick hair often needs layered hair with less volume near the face.

Well, in the case of thick hair, they go with every hairstyle

Here are some layered haircuts you need to try: beachy waves with curtain bags, feathered layers, long layers, choppy layers, textured layers, and overgrown Pixie.

Now that you know what suits you, here you go with the list of different layered hairstyles trending.

2. Layered Haircuts to Try

2.1 Long Layers

Don’t go fast on the name. Long layers don’t mean only long. They tend to tell the longer layers will have more distance in between.

In this layered cut, the light layers will fall at shoulder level. Long-layered hair with face-framing layers is the best-layered hairstyle for longer hair.

It is cool to have some highlighted hair with layers at the bottom.

You know, long layers reduce the volume around your face. Long layers need less maintenance. Long layers make the face look thinner.

2.2 Short Layers

Going opposite of the long layer, short layers are above shoulder level. There is little distance between each layer, and they tend to fall around your face.

Short layers add bulk to create a voluminous look. Short hair with layers, in short, layered hair growth, can cause high maintenance. But also, with short layers, styling is effortless.

2.3 Medium Layers

In medium-length layered hair, cut layers from medium to long hair. This layered hairstyle is for medium-length and long, straight hair. You can add texture or side-swept bangs.

2.4 Feathered Layers

Feathered layers have a passable resemblance to feathers, which add volume to thin hair and reduce thick hair. So, anyone with any hair texture can go for a feathered look.

They are excellent for creaming the face but need high maintenance.

2.5 Choppy Layers

Want an edgy modern haircut but don’t have those waves? Don’t worry. Choppy layers are the prime reason people with straight and medium-length hair can simultaneously have both volume and movement.

At last, choppy layers are just layers with different lengths cut into blunt ends to give movement. If you are unsatisfied with your haircut, you can go for re-layering.

They are available in many options; you don’t need so much maintenance as they can go with bangs and waves.

2.6 Classic Layers

Classic layers are primarily soft, further improvised to give any layered hairstyle. You can see some sliced layers. The hair is cut short to long lengths, offering a series of layered hair.

2.7 Shaggy Layers

Shaggy layers will add volume around your head but will thin with its fringes downside. Opt for too much texture if you have thick hair.

To be on the safe side, if you have a lot of thin hair, you should not prefer layered haircuts with much texture.

Shaggy layers also include bangs and can go with the Pixie cut.

Very fashionable layered haircuts include haircuts with Shaggy layers fusion. Layered hair nowadays with invisible layers often mixed with waves and curls.

Sometimes, your hair with layers with blunt ends is what shaggy layered haircuts mean.

2.8 Textured Layers

Just opposite the Shaggy layers, textured layers have tapering ends, significantly reducing the volume at ends.

It is a past-shoulder length hairstyle but goes with almost every facial feature.

Especially for thick hair, try to avoid texturing if you have fine hair, resulting in thinner hair.

2.9 Wispy Layers

Have flat-looking hair in every hairstyle and do not want to have concise hair, so try one-time wispy layers.

They are composed of long or short waves, which will blend in somewhat, creating volume around your face, but don’t worry; it will go very well if you also have a round face.

2.10 Pixie Layers

Shorter hairs can be easily turned into cool Pixie layered hair cuts. There are only some layers on top of your cut, and you mostly don’t need much more styling in this cut, like blow drying.

Still, you can add some waves to it, but quickly saying pixie cut is always a “ready to go” cut.

The query remains unsolved. You got the best haircut, but how do you style layered hair?

3. How to Style Layered Hair?

Sometimes, we get layered haircuts if we want to look stylish but don’t have time to put too much effort.

But now, if you want to add style and a different look with the same haircut, both can be done with these styling tips. Gather that blow dryer and curling iron to style layered hairstyles.

3.1 Haircare Starts With Shower

3.1.1 Shampoo

Your hair type will decide the Shampoo you need to use. I prefer dry Shampoo if your scalp gets too oily too soon.

3.1.2 Conditioner

Depending upon your hair type, all hair types should use conditioner after shampoo.

Try drawing your hair with a towel if you have straight hair, but if you have curly hair, you can go with wet hair by applying the Conditioner.

3.2 Spray Out Your Imagination

• Detangling Hair Spray: It will lock in moisture and can be used regularly, especially if you have a long layered haircut, medium layers, or thick straight hair with style layered haircuts.
• Heat Protecting Spray: The ultimate protection from heat is styling because heat will result in head damage and frizz. Finally, blow drying can damage all your layers.
• Texturizing Spray: Add volume to layers after air drying hairs.
• Setting Spray: This is a must-choice for styled layers if you are going to style your hair directly. It will keep your hairstyle in place for a longer time.
• Shine-Enhancing Spray: They add shine to your layers. If you have curly hair, they will appear glossy after applying this spray.

3.3 Blow Dry!

Generally, we air dry our hair and then blow dry it, but for layers, your hair will dry out eventually, and you will end with frizz and hair damage.

Go on with wet hair to keep your hair healthy, and apply heat protection on the lower part after sectioning each layer.

Don’t apply too much of the product if you have thicker hair because it can create a less-volume look.

Now, it depends upon different layered haircuts. If your hair is down the shoulder level, you must blow dry from the lower part. Try to bend your head downside because it will add volume if you dry in this manner.

If you have multiple layers, try sectioning your hair in two parts and blow dry the shorter one later.

3.4 Heat Style: Any Layer

3.4.1 Curl Up!!

Use a curling or flat iron hair for soft curls; loose curls can do better at a gentle heat. It will make those layers more separated.

Tip: Mix salt in water and spray on your curls for perfect coils.

3.4.2 Fine Look With a Straightener!

Use hair straighteners for straight hair, and try to soften the angle at the ends to give waves.

Standout in the crowd, facing problems due to thinner hair. Just use the rice water for extra shine and smoothness.

3.4.3 Blow Out!

Use a Round brush for blowout style.

1. First, prepare yourself by separating all your layers.
2. Use a round brush to curl hairs near your crown area and blow out.
3. When you are done, try to come with it in a way that your hair goes a little back so it will create more volume.

Never forget to:

• Have some moisture in your hair because if your hair goes dry during styling, the entire style gets ruined.
• I am using hair products for heat protection and moisture.

Tip: Try to find natural remedies for dry hair. Look around. The answer is in your garden. If you want moisture, use that aloe vera gel as a gel.

You will probably be having bangs for that. Do not try overheating it will ruin your hairstyle. Instead, use hair dry brushes. If you have certain banks, click here to learn more.

3.5 Serum Vs Oil

Silicon-based hair serum reduces frizz very efficiently. Serum adds finishing to your styling. Use the serum for more definition if you have naturally curly hair layers.

Oil and serum are both different. There are many options in oil, like Coconut, Castor, or Olive oil. They are the best options to repair your hair and have healthy roots.

4. DIY Layers at Home

Indeed, you have all the details about styling. Don’t you want to try this haircut by yourself?

I am sure there is something we can take a risk of, but if you have some experience and want to try something, I mean if you are somewhat experimental in a way. Just try it all by yourself and layer your hair at home.

First, gather some scissors, like the classic season, which is not the one you need. It would help to have Brazzers and other equipment to texture your hair for a finer look.
