Not just long hair Layers are used extensively with all hair lengths, including short layers and medium-length layers.

They’re also applied to all hair types and combined with other styles. For example, a popular cut is a layered haircut with bangs.

When putting together the research for this gallery, we discovered that people who search for this type of cut also looked for examples of long, straight hair.

Why layers?

They add texture and the perception of depth. They add interest too. However, it must be well done.

This is the case for men and women who have medium and long hair. Even kids… it’s amazing how much better young kids’ cuts look when done by a professional who implements layers vs. the DIY bowl cut.

I also like the strict bob style, without layers, longer hair, and even bottom cuts. That’s a classic look.

And that’s what is so great about style and fashion, while there are mistakes and bad ways to go about things, in many instances many options work amazingly well.
