Layered haircuts with bangs are a great way to get a fresh new look. Fortunately, layers work with any hair length. From a short pixie to a medium-length shag to a long bob, you can get that layered look. Consider adding highlights if you want to show off your new hairstyle. They’ll create more dimension and make your layers pop!
If you have short and thin hair, layering with bangs can give the appearance of more volume. If you have medium-length hair, layering it gives the illusion that it’s longer. For women with thick hair, a layered cut can remove the extra weight, which can often make your hair easier to work with. If you love your long length but want a fresh cut, go for some layers. It’s a great cut to get without a huge commitment.
You’re definitely making a bigger commitment when it comes to layered hair with bangs. You have so many options for bangs, but it all depends upon your hair density and your face shape. Below, I’ve put together an amazing collection of photos showing off some gorgeous layered haircuts. From blunt bangs to a wispy fringe, you’ll find a look with the perfect combination of length, layering, and bangs.
#1: Face-Framing Layers and Fringe for Long Hair
As a hairstylist, I often recommend face-framing layers. These ‘bangs’ create dimension, add movement to the look, and are perfect for any updo. This look doesn’t require much styling, just a little blow-drying on your part. Blow-drying them forward will give you a bold bang similar to Ariana Grande’s. While blow-drying them backward will provide you with a feathered bang like Selena Gomez. Whichever sweet look you choose, the easy styling will have you ready to go!
#2 Bold Fringe with Feathered Layers for Thick Hair
This layered bob with bangs is a chic choice for older women seeking a stylish yet practical haircut. The soft, wispy layers add movement and texture, giving the hair a fuller appearance. The bangs frame the face beautifully, making it an ideal cut for those with fine to medium hair density. The subtle highlights enhance the overall look, making it modern and fresh. This cut is particularly flattering for women with glasses, offering a youthful and sophisticated look that’s easy to maintain.
#3 Coppery Medium-Short Bob with Micro Bangs
A medium-short bob with micro bangs brings out a cute and avant-garde result! Hair becomes easy to style and maintain with a length that stops at the shoulders. Amp it up with waves to create a natural lift and shape.
#4 Fox Cut with Soft Blonde Waves
This fox cut hairstyle captivates with its soft, layered waves and elegant blonde tones, ideal for enhancing natural volume and movement. Specifically tailored for medium-density hair, the cut shapes the face beautifully while the layers add a modern twist to the classic style. It’s a versatile choice that suits a variety of settings, from professional to casual. The blonde shading requires maintenance to preserve its luster and depth, making this style best for those who don’t mind regular salon visits. The cut not only offers a refreshing aesthetic but also a practical, easy-to-manage daily look.
#5 Long Layered Haircut with Bangs and Blonde Balayage
Try a long layered haircut with bangs for a 100% glow-up! Such a chic haircut is easy to style and looks better on a tousled mane. It features a longer, wispy fringe. For added dimension, feel free to ask for a balayage, too!
#6 Medium-Length Hair with Choppy Bangs for Women Over 40
The haircut is a classic French shoulder-length layered haircut with bangs that softly frame the face. Ask for a French technique if you plan on doing balayage with your base color to create a more flexible movement. It will take some styling, but with a perfect volumizer for your roots and moisture or shine product for your ends, you’ll get the perfect blowout.
#7 Bright Salt-and-Pepper Choppy Layers with Wispy Bangs
A chic shaggy bob features layers and a messy wispy fringe that make fine hair seem voluminous and textured. The stylish cut also creates movement for the whole look.
#8: Mid-Length Cut with Bangs
A mid-length cut with bangs is a style worth considering. If you do not want a dramatic change in your style, consider adding bangs as they allow for a big change with a small tweak. Adding layers that complement the bangs can be beneficial. Your stylist can assist in deciding whether thick or thin bangs suit you, and how to style them according to your hair texture.
#9 Platinum Icy White Layers
Perfect for those craving dimension, this platinum icy white layered cut on medium-length hair offers a chic edge. Notice the sweeping fringe that accentuates high cheekbones and the soft body waves that provide texture. Ideal for medium to thick hair, the platinum shade will require upkeep and is best for those willing to commit to regular salon visits for color maintenance. While it adds depth, be mindful that icy hues can be a journey for darker hair types and require extra care to maintain hair integrity.
#10: Dip Dye on Blonde Hair with Bangs
Freshen up your blonde hair by dip dyeing the ends with vibrant colors! It’s great to add fun colors to your hair ends. If you get bored, you can just cut your hair short and start fresh!
#11: Blonde Layering with Long Fringe
Create blonde layers with a long fringe. With some tricks, you can add fullness to finer hair textures. Leave most of your hair unlayered to maintain fullness around the perimeter. Focus on adding a few layers at the crown for lift and a face-framing long-layered fringe. This could be in the form of a curtain bang, or a side bang. Consult with your hairstylist about how to frame your fringe according to your facial features for the best style.
#12: Light Layers with Bangs
If you have fine hair and need a bit of texture, light layers with bangs are a great option. Thickness and volume can really be given the illusion by fringe and layers.
#13: Barbie Blonde Straight Thinly Layered Hair
Having your hair thinly layered in Barbie blonde will add volume and texture, making your fine hair look fuller. This hairstyle highlights many layers that surround the face, underlining your beautiful features. To style it, begin with towel-dried hair, then use a round brush to enhance the volume. Complete the process with hairspray, this will flaunt your layers and keep your hair fixed for the day. Scheduling hair trims every 4-6 weeks will maintain your hair’s great look.
#14: Visible Layers and Waterfall Bangs
Visible layers with waterfall bangs are sleek and edgy. Tell your stylist to give you a razor or point-cut face frame. Also, ask for a jagged fringe on your medium to long hair. Airy, textured layers go well with a waterfall fringe. This fringe has choppy lengths of different sizes. Together, these create a soft look that fits a minimalist style.
#15: Medium Hush Cut with Light Bangs
Check out this trendy medium hush cut with light bangs! The hush cut is an easy transition from the longer layered styles we’ve seen over the last few years, offering a refreshing update to your style. During your consultation, tell your stylist to adapt the hush cut to you and express your desire for a light, airy texture with bangs.
#16: Dark Ruby Red Layered Curls
Ask about a curly layered dark ruby red style. Give your curls some shape with a style that brings out the curl’s natural pattern. You will want to avoid a triangle shape and taper the ends with a concave layered cut. This will give you interior layers. Pair them with curly bangs.
#17: Face-Framing Fringe
Give this haircut with face-framing a try. Especially if you’re looking for some shape and texture to your curly hair. If you want to try this look, talk with your stylist, and be sure to get the best recommendations on hair products.
#18: Red Layered Shaggy Bob with Blonde Highlights
Ask for a red layered shaggy bob with blonde highlights. I’ve found that crown layers make the shag come to life. Spend time with your stylist. Decide how much body your face shape needs to balance your profile. Both make a huge difference in deciding layer options.
#19: Effortless Mid-Length Cut with Curtain Fringe
Try a layered mid-length cut with a curtain fringe if you have thick hair and want to add movement to your style. This cut provides volume and movement without too much maintenance. To style your new cut, apply a volumizing mousse to damp hair. Spend time taking larger sections with a round brush to smooth and bevel out your blow-dry. Finish with a few waves and add some texturizing spray for a more natural look. This low-maintenance cut will allow you the perfect balance of style and ease.
#20: Low-Maintenance Shoulder-Length Layers
Try this low-maintenance shoulder-length cut. It’s the best way to add ample movement and texture to your hair while keeping length.
#21: Red Layers and Curtain Fringe
Instead of a boring look that comes with a solid color, add layers and curtain fringe to your hair. It will give you an eye-catching dimension and texture. With face-framing layers, this style works well for most hair types. To avoid an unbalanced look, keep layering around your face at chin length. And keep the longer lengths in the back for body and movement.
#22: Layered Bangs on a Medium Haircut
Do you want a medium-length hairstyle with a modern edge? Layered bangs are an interesting option. We love how this look can add texture and definition to the face without sacrificing length. Tell your desired result clearly to your stylist to get the most out of this sty. For extra definition, consider adding subtle highlights or balayage.
#23: Tousled Mullet Shag with Bangs
The tousled mullet shag with bangs is an eye-catching hair duo. This look works best on medium to thick hair types and flatters oval, heart, or round faces. To style, use hair wax to bring out texture in your locks and body. Don’t forget your expertly cut bangs! A traditionally good length allows your bangs to sit right at the eyebrows. If you want something shorter or longer, tell your stylist. They may know how to compliment your face shape the best. Seal in the definition using a light-hold aerosol spray. Try Hiromaru’s Serum Wax for a definitive and flexible texture. It also offers fullness that won’t feel greasy or weighed down.
#24: Long Fine Hair
I recommend blow-drying your hair using an ionic hairdryer to lock in moisture. Add a thermal protection spray to help protect your fine hair from heat styling. To add shape and movement to medium-length fine locks, use textured layers. Start from mid-lengths to ends. This will reduce weight in the crown area of your head and frame your face to accentuate its features! To complete this look add a side-swept fringe that skims over eyebrows. And add a cushion brush to finish shaping the style.
#25: Effortless Loose Waves and Layers
Effortless loose waves and layers are a timeless hairstyle for medium-length hair. It works well with wavy, straight, and curly textures. Fine-haired ladies should ask their hairdresser about adding extra volume at the roots. This cut is best suited for oval and long faces. Use a heated curling wand like the Dyson Airwrap to create a style that lasts all day. For more hold, mist TIGI Catwalk Strong Hold Mousse over your finished look to keep your locks in place.
#26: Bottleneck Bangs on Soft Wavy Hair
Bottleneck bangs on soft wavy hair are a relaxed hairstyle and are a great way to add dimension and texture. The wavy hair creates an effortless yet chic style that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. As a hairstylist, I recommend using a texturizing spray before curling the hair. It will give you added body and bounce. Finish off the look with a light hairspray to help hold your locks in place throughout the day. It won’t leave you feeling heavy.
#27: Wispy Bangs and Wavy Layers
Wispy bangs and wavy layers offer a soft framing for any face shape. This gorgeous look is perfect for those with the natural medium to thick, straight, or wavy hair types. Level up the styling by starting with damp locks. Create loose waves with a large-barrel curling iron and let them cool before shaking them out. Use your fingers. Once you are satisfied, apply styling mousse. Add definition to the ends of the waves by using an extra hold finishing spray and heat protectant spray. For the most fullness, communicate the desired volume to your stylist before they cut it in!
#28: Shoulder-Length Cut with Subtle Layers
As a stylist, I suggest a shoulder-length cut to those who want to upgrade their look. This style adds personality, frames the face nicely, and adds volume. It softens any edge around facial features and can be tailored to you. Use products that add texture, like a paste, for definition. Use a finish hairspray if more hold is desired. Create your beautiful look, and let your vision come to life!
#29: Long Layers with Shorter Pieces and a Fringe
If you like long hairstyles with fringe bangs, consider a long layered look with shorter pieces and a fringe. This cutting technique will create movement. It emphasizes your unique facial features, like your cheekbones! To perfect this style, use a texturizing spray to give it more shape and volume. The spray will also keep your strands pliable all day. Spend time on your look. Create soft waves or curl sections of hair away from the face. It will add even more definition around the jawline.
#30: Wispy Shag with Bangs and Highlights
Can a wispy shag with bangs and highlights be the perfect hairstyle for you? This style offers an effortless yet textured look that is easy to maintain and style. Layers and face-framing bangs with soft movement can provide volume. Even if you have fine hair. Talk to your stylist about keeping the layers soft around the face to achieve a natural finish. Ask for soft layering in the back.
#31: Extra Long Layers with Light Bangs on Blonde Hair
These extra-long layers with light bangs are eye-catching and modern. Ask your stylist for a hairstyle with bangs that brings the bangs away from your face to frame it elegantly. For a more dramatic effect, add some eye-catching highlights or balayage. This provides texture and dimension. When talking to your hairdresser about this hairstyle, say extra long and light.
#32: Short Front Bangs with Longer Layers
If you want to update your look, consider short front bangs with longer layers. Long-length layered hair with bangs is incredibly flattering. It’s for those who want the focus on their facial features and shows the volume and texture around the face. As an expert hairdresser, I recommend a thermal protectant spray before styling. It creates more hold and protection from heated tools. It also adds moisture back into dry ends! For an enhanced definition, utilize texturizing sprays for bouncy locks that last all day.
#33: Medium Voluminous Layers with Thin Bangs
Can you pull off a medium voluminous hairstyle with thin bangs? Absolutely! This is a great look because it frames the face nicely and adds dimension to any style. The layers will give your hair movement. The bangs can be swept to the side and customized to fit your face shape. With proper styling and care, this look can last all day long without losing its shape or volume. For a polished finish, use light hairspray.
#34: Wolf Cut Straight Hair with a Fringe
With its sleek lines and cool fringe, a wolf cut straight hairstyle is sure to turn heads. This look has layers that create a textured effect while maintaining a clean vibe. To achieve this look, you can ask your stylist for long layers with bangs swept across your forehead. For added dimension, ask for subtle highlights or lowlights. They will bring out the texture of the cut even more. To keep it fresh and sharp between salon visits, use a heat protectant when styling!
#35: Creamy Blonde Layers and Arched Bangs
These beautiful layers and arched bangs will give your hair tons of movement and texture. And they look stunning on any face shape. Those with medium to long length, straight or slightly wavy locks are the best for this hairstyle. If you have a round or heart-shaped face, ensure the bangs can help elongate your look. For styling, try a finishing cream to enhance shine and increase hold. Finish your style by fluffing out some layers at the crown area. Pull them away from the face with your fingers, and remember to snap a pic!
#36: Center-Parted Style for Medium-Cut Layers
This center-parted style for medium-cut layers is great if you have medium to thick hair! Its arched layers frame the face; it works well on any face shape. Use a moisturizing or volumizing product to get the look right at home. Use an oval brush to define the texture and movement of your layers. This look can also take you from day to night. In an instant, switch up your part or pull into a half pony for some extra fun!
#37: Layered Curly Hair with Curly Bangs
In my experience, layered curly hair with curly bangs is a beautiful look. The luscious strands of the long curls frame the face perfectly and add texture to any style. This look can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. It adds an effortless touch of elegance to any outfit. To achieve this hairstyle, use a curling iron or wand and curl each section of your hair from root to tip. It will give you bouncy curls that last all day. For extra volume, apply a volume-enhancing spray to the roots and style!
#38: Razored Layers with Face-Framing Bangs
Razored layers with face-framing bangs. They are the perfectly paired combo of style and easy maintenance. This style can flatter many face shapes. It looks great for those seeking volume without a lot of styling hassle. This hairstyle will work best on medium-density hair that’s naturally straight. Find a hairstylist that uses sharp scissors to accentuate the layers to rock it out properly. Your complexion should contrast nicely against chiseled edges! For products, you can use a non-greasy styling gel that won’t weigh down your strands.
#39: Brunette Swoopy Bangs
Brunette swoopy bangs are an excellent way to add more shape to your long hair. Ask your stylist to frame your face while keeping your unique head and face shape in mind. Doing so can enhance your cut and color a lot.

Pump up your long layered hair with a feathery style. Feathery layers are sure to add body to long, heavy hair.
#41: Long Sleek Hair with See-Through Bangs
Long and sleek hair with see-through bangs is a stunning look that will complement any face shape. Those with straight hair will be able to rock this look best. Although proper consultation and styling techniques can ensure all textures enjoy the benefits. Have your stylist cut layers around the face to create this versatile style. Then add long layers throughout the length. The see-thru bangs are a great addition to soften the forehead and accent your features. For extra hold throughout the day, add a volume-enhancing product. Redken Guts 10 root lifter is nice to add to your blowout with a large round brush.
#42: Sun-Kissed Medium Layered Haircut with Side Swept Bangs
We both felt like we wanted a boho vibe for this look. My favorite way to create lived-in layers is focusing more so on the interior of the haircut using a “back cutting” technique, creating movement and shape without the boxy square shape that can leave you with harsh lines and a less desirable growout. The fringe was pulled from where her natural part lies, creating fluidity and symmetry. I always follow the centerline of the iris to create a perfect balance with the face.
#43: Bright Blonde Layered Wolf Cut
Be a trendsetter with a bright blonde layered wolf cut. A wolf cut is great for women with medium to thick hair density. With many stacked layers, your hair will have tons of volume and texture. A wolf hair cut with bangs does require some styling.

#47: Long Shaggy Hair With Middle Part Bangs
This is a long layered shag haircut with a curtain fringe. The secret is deciding where you want your fringe to fall to bring out your best features, such as cheekbones or lips.

The cut is versatile and can be air-dried for a fun beachy look or blown out and curled for a soft flowy look. The best products for this style are salt sprays for a nice full crown, curl creams for juicy, tamed curls, and oils for frizz control and shine.

Choppy bangs on medium-length layered thick hair are great for women looking for a hairstyle to help take out some of the bulk and weight of their hair.

#54: Hipster Medium Layered Bob With Bangs
This is a hipster-chic medium layered bob style with bangs. Women considering this look, first and foremost, need to consider their texture. If your hair is pin-straight, but you want this tousled style, it will require time dedicated to curling.
If your hair is super curly, you need to consider that you’re going to have to embrace curly bangs – which I love, but I know it isn’t to everyone’s taste – or you’re going to have to take the time to smooth them out all the time. Whether you want to spend that time depends on your own lifestyle. Only you know whether those things are too much of a commitment.
