Layered Hairstyles Photos

Ashlee Simpson has a very long and straight layered haircut that looks very sleek yet with choppy ends to give it some character.

      There are many trends in hairstyles that will come and go, but there is one hairstyle that seems to last throughout time and still look good, and that is the layered hairstyle.  This look can be worn short, medium length, or long, but whichever length you choose, a layered cut will add volume and movement to your hair.  Long layers are great because they will allow you to keep a very full look to your hair.  Layers are also an excellent choice because everyone can wear them, regardless of your face shape or texture to your hair.  This means that if you have a round face, square face, oblong face, oval face, or heart-shaped face, layers will look good on you.  It also means that if your hair is curly, layers will give your curls volume and help them lay nicely and not be weighed down, and if you have straight hair, the layers will help your hair look thicker and even choppy if you like. 

     There are many celebrities that are sporting layered hair.  Sarah Jessica Parker is one celebrity who has layered hair, and she has long layers.  Therefore she can wear her hair straight or curly.  When it is curly, she has wavy and loose curls that have blended layers.  This gives her a very easy look to achieve with virtually no maintenance.  When she wants to wear it slick and straight, she can do that too.

      Jessica Simpson uses layering of her long blonde hair in order to keep her loads of hair from looking like they are weighed down.  She too can wear it straight or curly and it always looks fresh and fluffy.

     Jennifer Aniston has the classic long layered straight look.  Notice how Jennifer's hair really frames her face.  If you decide to get a layered look, this is one big advantage.  Your hair can be cut so that the hair hangs very nicely around your face.  Don't worry, it is not going to be in your way, but it will frame your face nicely.  Jennifer Aniston has long, straight, healthy hair, and this hairstyle of hers has been emulated by many.

     Carrie Underwood also has long hair that is cut in layers.  She often wears it in loose curls, but on occasion she wears her layers straight. In this picture below she has it rather straight.  Notice that her bangs fit in neatly with the layered look as they serve as the first layer and the long bangs are swept to the side.  Her hair is very smooth on the top, but ends in choppy layers.  This cut frames her face perfectly.

    Eva Longoria Parker has very rich, dark thick hair, and she wears it in very long layers.  The first layer is swept back, providing a nice frame to her face.  You can see several more layers in her hair.  It all works well together to provide a very feminine look that still draws your eyes to her face.

     Reece Witherspoon has worn her hair in many different ways, but in the picture below, you will see that she can wear a shorter layered cut.  This style has just a little bit of curl, but as you can see it has a lot of texture and barely reaches her should at its longest point.

     If you plan to layer your hair, please do not try to cut it yourself.  It is very difficult to cut your hair even if you are trying to cut it all the same length, so please leave it to a professional to make sure that the hairstyle turns out even and you have a look that suits you and you are happy to wear. 

     Layered hairstyles do require maintenance and care.  First, you need to make sure that you are getting your hair cut regularly.  Second, you need to make sure that you are using the right products on your hair.  If your hair is long and curly, you will need to use some mousse or gel daily.  When you are blow drying your hair, be sure to use a diffuser and scrunch your curls while you are blow drying.  If you are straightening your hair, be aware of how heat will affect your hair in the long run.  If I were you, I would wear my hair in a different style once in a while, but try not to use heat on your hair on a regular basis, or you will end up frying your hair, leading to hair damage that looks very unhealthy.
