The solution to getting rid of a boring haircut is to add long layers on short and medium hair. This trend has been popular among top celebrities like Emma Stone, Victoria Beckham, and Jennifer Aniston. Today we will be showing you how you can easily cut long layers in your hair at home, as well as gorgeous hairstyles for hair with long layers.

How to Cut Long Layers

Visiting a salon is always a great way to get a professional looking haircut with long layers, but what if you don’t have the time or money? Here is an easy way you can cut your hair into layers at home at no cost.

Start by washing your hair, and letting it air-dry until it is damp. Use a wet brush or a fine tooth comb to brush out any tangles in your hair. You are now going to section off the hair at the top of your head. Hold your hands at a 90-degree angle, and cut the ends of your hair off. (Cut the amount of hair you want your layers to be.)

You will now be using this newly cut section as a guide to cut all the other sections of your hair. As you grab new sections of your hair, line it up to your first section, and cut the new section until it matches the length of the first section.

Why Do you Need Layers in Your Hair?- Here is Why!

Layers look amazing on short to medium hair because they take away the look of a flat and dull haircut. When you have shorter hair it is harder to create volume and hairstyles like women with long hair, but by adding long layers your hair will look like it has more dimension and volume.

Long Layers vs Short Layers

Many women prefer long layers over short layers because long layers elongate the face, giving women the highly desired oval shape face. Short layers do the exact opposite and are good for women who want to round out the appearance of their face.
