Trendy Layered Haircuts

Published: August 24, 2009

Is the texture of your hair leaving your feeling trapped? Are you stuck in a styling rut because you don't feel comfortable with other styling options? Feel pressured by the need for a change? Well, in that case one of those trendy layered haircuts has your name on it, I'll bet.

Here's some points to remember about layering.

You can add volume and movement to almost any cut by having subtle layers cut in.

It's possible to frame your face to set it off by having your stylist add layers into the hair around it.

As you'd expect how much and what kind of layering you need depends on your hair type. Curls call for longer layers to give balance and remove heft. Fine hair can stand layers that create the look of fullness. Blunt and choppy works well with straight hair.

BE WARNED: For those with hair that is thinning, you're better off avoiding excessive layering. Sure you're right to argue this is a styling technique used to add volume. Problem is it can't make up for what is not there to begin with. In that case, you'll only accentuate the problem by thinning your hair more.

So much for some layering basics. Now for some fuss-free layered styles.

Shoulder length with long, graduated layers cut in all over gives you a polished look that works with most any texture.

A shag is another option. The updated version has long angled layers all around your head. Giving this versatile cut plenty of movement.

For a mid length style you've got the long bob or lob. This one is both popular and flattering. While offering you maximum versatility and easy styling too.

With longer hair you're looking for medium to long layers. Such a look works great with pretty much any hair type from wavy to straight, thick or fine and thin too.

A choppy bob is a good layered look if you're looking for something that will require less time each morning. Perfect for fine straight hair, this sophisticated super short style brings out the beauty of your eyes too.

Adding layers to your hair is an easy way to build in major sex appeal in just seconds. They can truly make the difference between a cut that is just okay to one that is great and glamorous looking. So why not consider layers the next time you're seated in your hairdresser's chair?
