Short layers are harder to blend and can create a mullet-like appearance in your hair. Many women prefer getting long layers because if they ever decide they want to remove them they have to cut off less hair to get rid of them. The also look natural and effortless, even when you don’t have time to style your hair.

Long Layers on Short and Medium Hairstyles

These are the 10 most trendy ways to wear long layers on short and medium hair for women.

1. Blonde Balayage with Layers

A balayage is when your hair is painted with bleach so that you have an ombre effect with no harsh roots. This natural medium hairstyle looks even better when long layers are added because it helps blend the colors seamlessly with no harsh lines.

2. Long Layered Ponytail Wrap

Medium length hair with long layers looks amazing and gorgeous in a high ponytail. To achieve this look simply take a small piece of your hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail. Secure the wrap with bobby pins to ensure it stays in place.

3. Brown Long Layered Bob

A lob is a long cut bob just above the shoulders. Lobs look stunning with long layers because it gives the medium hair more texture and volume. To achieve a style similar to this picture, give your hair a blowout and brush the ends inwards towards your shoulder blades.

4. Front Braids

When you have shorter hair it can get frustrating that you cannot create updos. Fear not, this gorgeous style for short hair with long layers mimics the look of a classic formal updo. To get this look simply use a one-inch curling wand. Wrap your hair around the wand super tightly to create tight ringlets.

Now take a two-inch section of hair from the front, and create a traditional braid that ends above your ear. Secure the braid with a hair-clip with bling to add something extra special to this look.
