Long-layered hairstyles add volume and bounce to your hair. Perfect for shoulder-length hair or slightly longer locks, these looks are timeless and easy to achieve with the help of a stylist.
From curtain bangs to layered bobs, discover some of the in-vogue hairstyles for long layered hair in 2024 and get some inspiration ahead of your trip to the salon.
1. Curtain bangs
Long-layered hairstyles with curtain bangs are all the rage right now and are the perfect look for women with long hair. The layers begin at the top and frame the face to the ends, focusing on your face’s best features.
2. Face-framing layers
Long hairstyles with face-framing layers are a good fit for numerous face types. Run your hair down to shoulder length to frame your face in its entirety and let the layered, tousled look refresh your overall style.
3. Flippy layers
A blowout with a pro dryer like the Laifen Swift Special is the best way to achieve effortless, flippy layers at home. This look is so easy to create with the best dryer, and the result will be bouncy, voluminous layers that will turn heads for the right reasons.
4. Middle part
A middle parting and long layers are a match made in heaven. Set the parting point at the center of your head and run your long layers down past your shoulders. Straight hair works best with this look, but it’s also a refreshing choice for women with natural waves.
5. Blunt bangs
Taylor Swift is responsible for the renewed obsession with bangs, and hairstyles with side bangs and layers for long hair are in vogue right now. We love blunt bangs and long layers, a low-maintenance look that effortlessly showcases your style.
6. Shaggy layers
The shag cut is one of the hottest looks in 2024. We love shaggy layers, as they add instant volume to your hair, delivering a sleek and polished look. Highlights can also be a stunning addition to shaggy layers if you want to add a unique touch to this popular look. There are more shaggy haircuts for women.
7. Side-swept layers
If you want to give off chilled-out beach vibes, wear your hair in a flattering side sweep. Voluminous, wavy hair works a treat with this look—just be sure to find your natural parting before sweeping it to one side.
8. Chopped layers
Long, choppy layered hairstyles are an effortless way to add body to long, textured hair and remove additional weight. We like chopped layers to be a little shorter than other styles on this list, so ask your stylist to leave your length slightly above your shoulders for the best look.
9. Soft waves & layers
Natural waves of any color work well with long layered hair. Consider depth when drying your hair and add volume where possible to accentuate the waves.
10. Long-layered curls
One of the best long-layered hairstyles for thick hair is this cut for curls. Layering is key to removing weight and adding volume. The simple act of layering gives your curls a natural lift, and this is a stunning look for women with darker hair tones.
11. Layered fringe
We’ve already touched on curtain bangs, but you can bring that fringe down even lower to just above the eyeline if you wish. Just be sure to leave yourself enough styling time, as you don’t want the fringe to look unkempt.
12. Highlighted layers
One of the easiest way to accentuate layers is with highlights. Strawberrry blonde on brunette works beautifully and is a stunning option for fair and light skin types. You should ask your stylist for help with highlights so you go with the best color for your complexion and tone.
13. All-over layers
All over layers are just as popular as long hairstyles with front layers. Volume, depth, and color are all key to achieving effortless all over layers, so task your stylist with creating a cut that ticks all the boxes.
14. Balayage layers with curls
Curly long layered hairstyles are a brilliant way to wear your curls. Consider lightening your curls with a highlight to accentuate the look and to add depth to the layers. This look can work well at or below the shoulder length.
15. Layered bob
Long layered bob hairstyles with fringe complete our list. Our recommendation is for feathered layers and peek-a-boo bangs, framing your face to perfection and showcasing your style.
Conclusion
Long-layered hairstyles are very much in fashion in 2024. Layers are the best way to achieve volume and bounce while keeping things light and stylish.
There are so many ways to style your long hair with layers, and we hope our recommendations help. We advise you to speak with your stylist before layering your hair, so you can agree to a look that helps to show off your best facial features, be it with curtain bangs or a slightly shorter layered bob.
