Front layered haircuts for long hair create a bounce and movement without a significant chop. These not only maintain density and length but also assist in framing and opening up women’s faces.
Aya Allathqani, a stylist and the owner of Bella Visci Salon in Houston, TX, shares insights on this trend. She assures that this cut suits all hair types and face shapes.
“It reduces weight and bulk from thick hair, providing a softer appearance,” she notes. “With finer strands, a subtle face frame works wonders. It creates an illusion of layers, movement, and body without sacrificing density and length.”
Avoid cutting your face frame at home, as it could turn into a DIY disaster, Allathqani cautions.
Seek out a skilled hairdresser who is familiar with the techniques and schedule a consultation. It’s the perfect opportunity to get an honest assessment of how the face-framing layers will look on you.
These layers look stunning when cut in the middle. However, if you have a side part, pieces on both sides should be equal and balanced. It’s an elegant and versatile cut when done properly.
When styling, avoid keeping it pin-straight. Use a flat iron to bend the layers toward the face and a round brush to add extra body.
Allathqani recommends, “Allow the hair to cool down for 15-30 seconds after flat ironing. Brush it back with your fingers, and it’ll swoop back effortlessly!”
