Hidden Layers
If you’re not keen on the look of super noticeable layers, try a ‘do that’s on the subtle end. Here, Charli D'Amelio sports a look with layers in the front as well on the ends of her hair.

Layered Side Part
For those with Rapunzel-length hair, layers can help to make the weight less heavy. Show off your layers by placing your hair to one side (sorry Gen Z).

Thick Layered Sections
For a haircut that’s striking but not overly high-maintenance, try Bella-approved chunky front layers. Consider coloring these thick sections to give the hair a cool contrast.
Choppy Layers
According to J.Lo, choppy layers have never been so chic. The celebrity’s voluminous cut is all about layers in various lengths.

Textured Layers
Embrace your natural hair and add some layering into the mix to give it structure and prevent it from feeling too heavy. Bonus point for on-trend braids in the front.

Volume-Boosting Layers
Long layers can give thin, long hair more definition and volume. The layers here aren’t super even throughout, which is arguably what makes the cut so chic and cool.
