Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
1. Long Layers
No matter what hair length you land on as your favorite, adding long layers to your hair will make a world of difference. The purpose of longer layers is to blend into your hair while giving it more of a shape that allows your texture to make a bigger impact (waves and curls look phenomenal with longer layers). Start the shortest layer around your chin or slightly higher if you want to emphasize cheekbones and ask your stylist to connect your layers together for a natural, full look.
2. Side-Swept Bangs
Traditional bangs aren’t for everyone, but side-swept bangs look amazing on most people. These bangs, sported here on Emma Stone, provide face-framing and aren’t as much of a commitment as regular fringe. Ask your stylist to cut cohesive layers that blend into your side-swept bangs.
3. Bob With Ghost Layers
The bob is a chin-length style that is always up there among the most flattering classics. It works for all ages, but is especially youthful because of its shorter length and blunter ends that lift the face and create a look of more dense hair. Ghost layering is a technique that involves creating subtle layers that add movement and volume without making fine hair look thinner. The ends of hair are usually kept blunt while the top horseshoe section of the hair is lightly layered.
4. Lob With Face-Framing Layers
Jennifer Aniston’s hair is always on point. We love her lob with face-framing layers because they subtly add dimension to her hair while showcasing her facial features. If your hair is on the thinner side, maintaining blunt ends is key to making your hair look as voluminous as possible.
