The Hottest Long Layered Haircuts and Hairstyles
Although many girls like to keep their hair long, there is more to keeping your long hair stylish, healthy and flattering than simply maximizing its length! Whether your hair is thick, thin, curly or straight, long hair can run the risk of looking heavy or flat if there is no variation in length. In addition to getting your haircut trimmed regularly in order to remove split-ends, incorporating layers can be a great way to add dimension, volume and versatility to your long hairstyle. For example, layers are a fabulous way for girls with thick long hair to remove extra hair weight which can prevent styling products from having their intended effect. For thin hair, layers can create the illusion of thickness and volume. Incorporating layers is also a great way to draw attention to your gorgeous facial features or even change the appearance of your face shape! There is an awesome layered haircut for every girl with long hair and consulting a stylist or video tutorials online can help you find the best long layered style for your hair type and facial features. Although not every girl is fortunate enough to be able to grow her hair long naturally, any girl can achieve a gorgeous long mane with hair extensions! Whether you have grown your Rapunzel length tresses naturally or rock long extensions, we hope you enjoy this list of the top 15 long layered haircuts!
