The highlighted face-framing pieces highlight your best features while adding dimension to the layered cut.
14: Long Blended Layers
This subtle approach features extremely graduated layers that blend almost imperceptibly.
The seamless transition creates natural movement while maintaining maximum length and volume.
Request barely-there layers with minimal length difference between the shortest and longest pieces.
This refined style works beautifully for those wanting movement without obvious layering.
The blended technique creates dimension without more dramatic layers’ distinct “stepped” appearance.
15: Long Razored Layers
This textured style uses razor-cutting techniques to create feathered, wispy ends throughout your long hair.
The technique adds movement and reduces bulk without traditional blunt-cut layers.
Ask your stylist for razor-texturizing techniques on the ends while maintaining your overall length.
This contemporary approach works particularly well with medium to thick hair.
The razored ends create natural separation and movement even without additional styling.
16: Long Wolf Cut
This trendy style combines shag and mullet elements with long hair, creating volume at the crown with longer, layered lengths.
The heavily layered approach adds rock-inspired texture and movement.
Request substantial layering at the crown and around your face, gradually blending into your longer length. This fashionable style works beautifully with natural waves and curls.
Enhance the intentionally piece-y texture with texturizing spray and rough-drying for maximum effect.
17: Long Butterfly Layers
This face-flattering cut features shorter layers around your face that “wing out” like a butterfly, beautifully framing your features.
The rest of your hair maintains length with subtle layering.
Ask for face-framing pieces that start at the chin or collarbone level with minimal layering throughout the back.
This strategic approach draws attention to your features while maintaining length.
Style the face-framing sections away from your face with a round brush to emphasize the “butterfly wing” effect.
18: 90s-Inspired Long Layers
This nostalgic style features chunky, visible layers inspired by the 1990s.
The distinct separation between layers creates dramatic movement and textured volume with retro appeal.
Request clearly defined layers without excessive blending for that characteristic 90s look. This statement-making style works particularly well with straight to wavy hair.
Enhance the throwback vibe with volume at the roots and flipped-out ends for maximum nostalgic impact.
19: Long Invisible Layers
This subtle technique incorporates layers cut from underneath, creating movement without visible layer lines from the surface.
The stealth approach adds dimension while maintaining a one-length appearance.
Ask for underneath layers that aren’t visible when your hair is worn down. This refined style works beautifully for those wanting movement without obvious layering.
The hidden layers remove bulk and add swing while preserving the clean lines of long, one-length hair.
20: Long Curtain Layers
This face-framing approach features longer layers that part in the center like curtains, opening to showcase your features.
The strategic cutting technique draws attention to the center of your face.
Request face-framing layers that can be styled away from your face from a center part. This flattering style works particularly well for oval and heart-shaped faces.
Style with a round brush to emphasize the curtain-like opening around your face for maximum effect.
