#59: Heavily Layered Face-Framing Strands

A good thing about long layered hairstyles is that you can choose to go light or heavy on the amount of layers you cut. Heavily cut styles give you an opportunity to try face-framing bangs that work well with thick, long hair in undone hairstyles. Play around with the shape of your next cut and find that right amount of layers for you.

#60: Long Wispy Layered Cut

A long haircut with feathered layers is an excellent option for those who want to grow hair but is suffering from breakage or split ends. Make layers and trim your locks occasionally, and your hair will look fantastic without sacrificing the length. Blonde shades with a lighter hue toward the front will brighten up the look.

#61: Classy Layers for U-Shaped Cut

While we have no doubts that long layers are a great option, we understand some of your hesitations. For starters, it takes some time to grow out, and you may be worried that your blowout won’t look as polished as it does with your blunt chop. But, when dried with a round brush and some smoothing cream, those texture-boosting layers are refined to create a cool U silhouette.

#62: Edgy V-Line Layers

Contrary to popular belief, no matter the length, a mane with layers can be edgy. Case in point: this style. The way these locks were cut lets the ends curl towards the center and create an offbeat V-line. Get this look by wrapping the bottom portion of your hair around a thick curling iron.

#63: Brown Blonde Hair with Long Layers

Ombre is all the rage lately, but if you don’t want to go all out, you can ease your way into it with soft balayage highlights. Long layers are the best to relieve thick locks of excessive bulk and to add movement and volume to thinner strands.
