Does Your Medium Layered Hair Cut Make You Look Fat?

The Truth About Cute Haircuts Medium Length

Vanessa Tisdale had a dilemma. The mother of two wanted an easy care medium layered hair cut. But she didn't want to inadvertently end up with a style that made her look fat.

"What I learned," Tisdale reported, "is that you want to avoid medium styles that seem to hang long and square around your face. That variety of medium length layered hair cut can broaden your look - to ahhh, put it politely?"

"Instead my stylist told me to go with angled, graduated layers. To give me a slimmer overall look. Which is what we did."

"I mean who knew it was so simple to get a medium layered haircut that would flatter your face rather than make you look more like a cow?"

"So adding long layers all around can help vary the shape," Vanessa added.

There are a few things to remember about such cuts however.

If you're looking for volume, a layered style will always give your more of that than a heavy, one-length-all-over type style.

If you're going to blow dry a so called "haircut medium layered" do some prep work with mousse and then use a medium sized round brush with your dryer.

If you're seeking added bounce, use hot rollers to set the ends, from like the midshaft on down.

"Focus on accenting any graduated angles to broaden the body and you'll avoid a medium layered hair cut that fattens you up," Vanessa said with a smile, "even if only inadvertently."
