Long layered haircuts are timeless, making the hair look voluminous and carefree while maintaining glamorous lengths. If you’ve been struggling with getting your hair to grow or getting rid of split ends, sometimes taking some of that weight off with long layers is the way to go. It’s the perfect style for thick or thin hair because different layering styles have different effects. By trimming the ends you can keep each strand looking healthy, while the layering itself really helps to structure the hair. We’ll help you choose the perfect long layers for you, based on your face shape and hair thickness! Then it’s all about the inspiration, with some amazing photos of the different ways you can rock layered haircuts for long hair! Long layered haircuts are very forgiving, often suiting most face shapes and hair types. However, you can adjust your layers and styling a little bit based on your face shape and hair type in order to achieve the most flattering effects!
1. Chocolate Almond Long Layers
Layered haircuts for long hair usually already look very lush and healthy, but once dyed the effect can be even more astounding thanks to the texture and brightness of balayage highlights. In this instance, it’s all about the almond layers over chocolate locks.
2. Creamy Long Layered Haircut
Creamy blonde hair is perfect for summer, but the bleaching can take its toll on the ends. That’s why layering and cutting the ends of the hair is so important – it removes any damage, gives a fuller look, and allows the hair to continue to grow long and healthy.
3. Sun-Kissed Brunette Long Layered Hair
This long layered hairstyle is very breezy thanks to tousled styling and a blonde balayage that gives a sun-kissed effect. It is a bi-layered style, with a shorter layer on the outside adding dimension to the look without taking away from the length.
4. Face-Framing Long Layered Haircut
There is a cascade effect at the front, with the strands nearest to the face ending just above the shoulders to frame the face, the second layer of strands ending a few inches below for a gradual effect, and finally, the rest of the hair hanging down to the bust in full glory.
5. Feathery Long Layers
Feather layered haircuts for long hair are subtle, helping to keep the hair looking natural and bouncy without being obviously multi-layered. This feathery style works well with the intense blonde and brown balayage.
6. Graduated Ultra-Long Layered Hair
Layers are a phenomenal way of taking away bulk from super long hair, which can get really heavy. These long layers seem dramatic since they start a few inches below the shoulder, but the graduated technique still keeps the impactful length.
7. Wavy Long Layered Haircut
Waves and long layers are a match made in heaven. These long blondes were layered and trimmed choppily at the ends, with a couple of nicely curled strands framing the face beautifully.
8. Copper-Touched Long Layered Hair
This long layered haircut shows us a subtler variation on graduated long layers, where the front is a little shorter but gets progressively longer towards the back. It works well with the shiny blonde and copper balayage.
9. Sleek Long Layers
Tousled and wavy styling is always safe, but it’s when you straighten your hair that you find out if your long layers really work. As you can see here, these bright blonde layers are minimal and subtle enough to work with any style.
10. Long Layers for Summer
There is something about blonde balayage hairstyles that makes us think of summer, and long layered haircuts certainly contribute to the effect. The chocolate roots add depth, but the overall effect is bright and lively, with subtle layering for extra bounce.
