What You Should Know About Layered Haircuts

In Praise of the Flexibility of Long Layered Hair Styles

Hannah Braden a weekend nurse and part time aerobics instructor has had a long love affair with layered haircuts. "Long layers always look great on me," she said. "When worn that way my hair frames my face in a pretty, feminine way which I like."

"I also like it because a layered style tends to always give you more volume than a heavy, one-length hair style."

"Long layered hair styles offer you a lot of versatility too. You can go with an updo. Or sweep it back into a long ponytail."

"Layered cuts seem to work best for straight hair types like me."

"Besides," Hannah continued, "if you want a less layered look you can use a deep conditioner to flatten thicker hair to create the illusion of extra weight at the bottom of your tresses. For that I'd recommend Bumble and Bumble Deep Treatment?"

"On the other hand if your stylist messes up and cuts in too many layers into your hair just have him cut a few inches off the bottom. It not only creates a fully looking hair style, it will minimize the layered look."

Hair Tip: Make sure to thoroughly wet your hair before washing. That's because shampoo cleans better and lathers up more when used on soaking-wet hair.

If you can't pull off the look of totally layered haircuts, considered "texturing". That trick can help add some body to your thick yet fine hair.
