5 Layered Haircut Ideas

Layered Haircut Ideas

Getting layered haircut hairstyles is popular across different age brackets because of its various benefits. Generally, layered haircuts add volume to one’s hair and help frame the face, highlighting one's facial features. Some of our customers even prefer getting a haircut with layers regularly because it makes them look more youthful!

For individuals with thick and coarse hair, layered haircut styles help reduce the weight of the hair, making it feel lighter. For those with thin hair, getting a haircut with layers will prevent the hair from looking flat and add more fullness. Whether you have thin or thick hair, getting layers will give you added volume, texture, and dimension.

In this article, we detail five layered haircut ideas and the most frequently asked questions about getting layered haircut styles. There are many types of layered haircuts, but we are focused on the most requested layered haircut styles by our customers in our hair salons in Singapore.

Layered Haircut Ideas

1. Face-framing Layers

For added body and movement, face-framing layers are visible, especially at the front part of your hair. As the name suggests, this type of layered haircut frames the face and emphasizes one's best features.

2. Curtain Bangs

While curtain bangs originated in the 60s, they made a comeback last year and are now a popular hairstyle all over the world! Curtain bangs are long strands of hair that typically fall from the cheekbone to the jawline. The hair is usually parted in the center to achieve that curtain effect. The curtain bangs serve as the ‘curtains’ on the sides that help frame your face while making your forehead more visible.

3. Angled Layers With Side Fringe

Another layered haircut idea is angled layers with one-sided bangs. Angled layers consist of short and long layers of hair that are visible on the sides of your face. To achieve this, our hairstylists usually angle the layers forward or backward, depending on the client’s preference. The side fringe, on the other hand, helps frame the face even more and gives you a youthful look.

4. Textured Waves With Layered Ends

This layered haircut style, on the other hand, is achieved through hair perming and a haircut. With this style, the hair is permed to achieve loose waves resembling popular beach wave curls and is layered towards the tips for added volume and texture. This type of layered haircut is ideal for those with medium or long hair.

5. Soft Waves With Layered Cut

This layered haircut idea is best achieved with a hair perm and haircut. Getting a hair perm will help achieve the loose curls. The layers in this style are apparent from the top to the bottom of the hair, adding volume, movement, and emphasis on the soft waves. You have the option to let our hairstylists know the depth and length of layers you want for this style.

Frequently Asked Questions about Layered Haircut Styles

1. What hair type looks best with layers?

Layered haircuts are ideal for all hair types. Whether you have thin, coarse, thick, or curly hair, our hairstylists can suggest a layered haircut style that will compliment you! Get a complimentary hair consultation before your hair service when you book your appointment with us.

2. How do I choose the right layered haircut?

To choose the right layered haircut, you need to identify your hair type. As mentioned above, if you have thin hair, soft and subtle layers are ideal for adding texture and preventing your hair from looking flat and straight. If you have coarse and thick hair, there are many layered haircut styles to choose from because it is easier to create more layers with thick hair.

3. What face shape is best for layers?

If you have a rectangular face shape, face-framing layers are ideal for highlighting your best facial features. If you have a round or oval face shape, long layers with a side fringe are ideal. On the other hand, if you have a diamond-shaped face, a layered cut with a side fringe and soft, loose waves would also complement your face shape.

4. Are layers hard to maintain?

Layered haircuts are generally not hard to maintain as long as you regularly visit your hairstylist for a trim every month to month and a half. Doing so will help prevent split ends. You may also opt to use volumizing hair care products from our e-shop to enhance the appearance of the layers.
