When we’re feeling meh about our hair but don’t want to go too drastic and chop it all off (or go for the very tempting fringe), a stylist will usually recommend a layered haircut. Why? Beyond being universally flattering and easy to maintain, there are many variations to choose from. And we love options.
The best layered hairstyles should remove weight, add movement, and shape your overall look. Celebrity hairstylist Bobby Eliot says layers can create an airy, effortless vibe and are a great option if you want your hair to feel lighter. Becca Raziuddin, Mane ambassador and celebrity hairstylist, agrees and adds that layers can frame your face, highlight your favorite features, and remove unwanted parts without sacrificing length.
Below, Eliot and Raziuddin break down their favorite layers and 10 layered hairstyles for every hair texture. Save this for the next time you want to subtly change your look.
