Long Jet Black Tresses
This long-layered jet-black haircut looks perfect for women with darker skin and thicker hair.
Light Brown with Long Locks
How would this look be described? This look is long layers of razor. For this look, the advantage of a razor cut is that you don’t have to compromise motion size. The wispy layers are kept long so the bottom line is not too skinny to give a stringy hair appearance. But cutting with a razor allows the ends if the hair is blown out smooth or curled to have plenty of movement. With a Mason Pearson flat comb, this long hair has been swept dry yet it has a lot of movement that’s my favorite thing about it. The suggestions that someone feels about it? One thing to consider is whether or not a client wants a razor to cut their hair. Some people have an aversion to a razor cut because with it they might have had a bad experience. Because of this haircut’s movement, it works really well for someone who blows their hair out every day or for the customer who wants to encourage their natural wave or texture and let it dry air.
Layered Hair for Oval Faces
For women with thick hair, dramatically long tresses with a face framing center part make this a perfect long layered cut. QA with Takeshi Shukuya Senior Hairstylist design founder @ Koji Toyoda Salon in West Hollywood Ca How would you describe this look? This is a sun-kissed look with plenty of movement that makes fashion flexible. The long hair layers will always lay beautifully no matter how you divide the hair or style. The suggestions that someone feels about it?With some fading foiling, this is a long layered haircut. What I love about this look is that the haircut provides the perfect balance of the movie work’s proportions and brightness. You get great flexibility with a layered cut like this without losing too much weight from the skin. The suggestions that someone feels about it? If you want to wear your hair straight or with waves, this look is great. For all face shapes, it’s also very flattering. Using face framing layers as well, it can be easily customized for the face of the client. I love to use a little Kms Moist Repair Leave-in Conditioner to hold hair moisture and Goldwell Just Smooth Smooth Control for when I’m blowing. I proceed with a tiny Kms Anti-Humidity Seal to finish it off. While this hairstyle takes a little bit of time in the morning, you can get an amazing look just by going through your flat iron or popping into a little wave. Cut
Edgy Wavy Layered Feeling a funky and edgy vibe? Seek this long dark brown locks that are heavily textured. I am so inspired by bohemian natural beachy long layers with fashion designer Dani Maloney Stylist @ R Salon Phx in Phoenix Az. It’s exactly what I see when I look at Sierra’s eyes. Long layered hairstyles actually seem to provide the ideal look ready for the beach. I see a very new and up-to-date wash n go style. I love women with a low maintenance style still being able to have a chic look that works for their daily lives. The advice that someone thinks about it? I would recommend something like this cut with barely-there layers if a customer came in and asked for a natural look, but also some texture. Sierra has a natural wave, so we’ve been working with it to create something that she can do with little fuss. I love Igk Rich Kid because of the dry or diffused feel of the water. Then I would use an iron of 1/12 inch to create soft waves. I’d end up with a texture spray (Igk’s Beach Club Texture Spray) as I finger through the waves to create a natural appearance.
Layered Long Shag
QA with Jackie Smithwick Hairstylist style @ Style Divita in Kill Devil Hills Nc This is a long shag that gives you a little more edge than traditional ones. Joan Jett and Farrah Fawcett are 70’s stars with complete swag rocking this theme! The suggestions that someone feels about it? Taking into account this shag with longhair layers can be fine or thick hair and for almost any face shape. It adds extra volume and texture, providing you with a modern look. Several different ways you can dress a shag. Use an oil or cream when it’s almost dry for a sleek look. Use a textured mouse when wet hit it with a little dry shampoo when dry for a more allied dirty look and let down those windows!How are you going to describe this look? This is a classic and effortless thing. One of my favorite looks are long hairstyles with layers because it’s so flexible. It can be worn in many ways: up or down flat. The suggestions that someone feels about it? Know that the perimeter of the square allows both the length in the back and the front to be maintained. Minimal long layers and heavy texture complete this look by removing the bulk without lines of weight to be worn. Have fun with that!
These beautiful brown espresso hair colors are ideal for tan skin. QA with Maren Mahlman Hairstylist design maker @ Bbma The Woodland Hills Salon Ca How would you describe this look? The suggestions that someone feels about it? For most customers, this style is great especially for fine hair. For a loose wave, 1 1/4 inch curling iron is fine. My favorite finishing material for a little root boost and texture is Badlands from R Co.
Straight Dark Red Hair
QA with Lindsay Gore Owner fashion maker @ Strandz Hair Studio in Littleton Co How would you describe this look? A hot auburn with chocolate and caramel highlights colors this long hair with long layers. I love this look as it matches most of the shapes of the face and looks sweet, straight or twisted. The suggestions that someone feels about it? Long straight hair is relatively low maintenance, but it will require blow drying (with or without a round brush) and volumizing (my favorite is Igk Trust Fund) to display the layers. This color is perfect for green brown or hazel eyes and warm skin tones that are neutral to red.

The hair is arranged so it will collapse into a beautiful wave if the curl looses it. To create and maintain this look, what items do you recommend? Redken and Moroccan Oil used all styling products. The hair washed with shampoo and conditioner from Redken Color Magnetics. This was then used to provide body and lift with Redken Stay High mousse gel.

To build those bouncy curls, I used a 1-inch curling iron. What kind of customer do you suggest this look for?

QA with> Bescene Studios in Silver Spring Md How would you describe this look and what’s your favorite thing about it?I just love creating these looks on people who want the updated look or switch to scanning instead of highlights but don’t always have the time to come up for a highlight touch in every six weeks. Seeing this grow out is so simple and still appear like a beautiful natural darkness. Ombre hair coloring provides complex hairstyles in great detail for long hair.
Sexy Beach Waves
QA with Rosie Pieternelle Hairstylist in style @ Mark Garrison Salon in New York Ny How would you describe this look and what’s your favorite thing about it? These are beach waves that are effortless and yet attractive. My favorite thing about this is that at any time of the day it is a beautiful look that can go with any outfit. What products do you recommend for this look to be maintained and recreated? The products I use for heat protection are Phytokerarine Extreme Phytovolume Actif Intense Volume Spray and soft hold Phytolaque Soie. I recommend this hairstyle to any client regardless of the shape of the head or the thickness of the hair, but if the hair is under the ears, it would look best.
Golden Blonde Layered Hair
QA with Payton Baxley Colorist Style Creator @ The Hair Artist’s Studio in Lake Norman Nc How would you describe this look and what’s your favorite? I’d describe this as a blonde of proportions. My favorite hair feature is the mix! A variation of her natural color is a lowlight around her head (where most women first reveal gray) and a beautiful golden blonde highlight to set the contrast to suit her skin tone. What products do you recommend for this look to be maintained and recreated? An effective daily conditioner is the item I would recommend. There is a perfect one for Saints Sinners. My slogan is longer hair is older hair because a few times it’s been around the block and to look healthy it needs more than a simple conditioner. If your hair is perfect, do not touch your scalp area and put it on the end of the ponytail. The hair is going to crack without a proper conditioner. What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? For a client who wants to blend their gray with a warm or olive skin tone, I would recommend this color. With an oblong, round square or heart-shaped head, the long layers pair well.
Layers of textures
What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? For balayage customers looking for a fun shift, this look is great. If you are not ready for a vibrant color glaze, glazing with a rose gold is always a safe bet!
Blown Out Feathered Layers
QA with Michelle Reece Hairstylist Style Station Hair Salon in Frederick Md How would this look be described?Cut
‘ Caramel-tone Subtle Layers
The dark contrast with the coated ashy long hair gives a very casual and super-stylish look to this. How would this look be defined and what’s your favorite thing about it? This look I’d describe as organic and subtle. Only enough pop and dimension are given by the paint. The warmth of the balayage is my favorite thing about this theme. I think the hot tones of caramel beautifully complement the brunets. What items would you suggest for this look to be preserved and recreated? The products I recommend are a blowout balm such as Igk’s Car Service or a moisturizing hair lotion such as Igk’s Mistress to help create these loose waves. To keep the hair hydrated and protected from heat styling, you just need a little something. What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? Last but not least, this length and style is what I would recommend to anyone who is always going to the gym every day or who enjoys braids and topknots!
Side Bangs thick layered hair
Hydrate the ends of it. Do treatment with conditioning or Olaplex at least once a month. It’s great for your hair and care for yourself!
Long Hair With Feathered Layers
QA with Ramsey Tobey Hairstylist style creator @ Beauty Bar Boutique in Wilmington Nc How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it? In comparison to calling it a long layered cut, I would describe this look as long hair with short layers. My favorite part about this haircut is all the flexibility and body it has while retaining the length. I used my scissors to cut a razor for a lot of the inside layering and then with my shears I cleaned the perimeter. What items would you suggest for this look to be preserved and recreated? I would use a flexible gel to hold it while keeping it soft for this style. My favorite serum for a blowout is the Serum Serum from Oribe. Use it with a round brush and it will last days with your blowout! For anyone with medium density and medium textured hair, this style can really work. Because of the length, this shape is really good for women with round faces. It extends the head. If you like playing with your look, it’s also a good haircut. With long updos, it’s great and looks pretty curled with a wand.
Glamorous Long Layer Blowout
QA with Emilio Borrego Ceo style creator @ Arco Salon in Brooklyn Ny How would you describe this look and what’s your favorite thing about it? In search of a new salon, this guest came to us. She wanted to keep her length and wanted a cut that would make her look like she was spending hours cutting her hair without spending hours actually. She also stated that she particularly at the ends had really dry hair. With an in-depth micro-analysis, we studied her hair and found that she had both an extremely dry scalp and dry split ends. Before we put her under a steam dryer with a deep moisture mask to penetrate her thirsty dry hair, we performed a holistic re-balancing scalp treatment. Then we trimmed her split ends and gave her beautiful long layers adding depth and texture and allowing her to have that glamorous hairstyle that was effortless. With this look, we love it. Not only is her hair beautiful, but her hair and scalp’s health and integrity are restored! We are an eco-luxury salon, using only 100% organic vegan hair products like colour. We used Oway’s Bio-Rich water to lay the foundation for the cut to add vitamins and protein to the cuticule for this look. For add clarity and silkiness, we also used Oway’s Silk-n-Glow serum and the Glamshine mist. What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? For anyone who wants the effortless sexy blowout look, this long hair with layers. It’s perfect for someone with long hair who enjoys waking up and going for work in the mornings and going out for a happy hour with the girls.
Thick hair cutting pointI used Silkening Oil Treatment for styling to protect the hair from blow dryer heat and add brightness to the hair. After the hair was dry, I cut some level, then I used Aquage Finishing Spray to keep that curl. What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? With long and dense hair like this, thick hair that is wavy or straight works well. Because the length is long and the layers can be changed to accentuate the face shape, it is a good option for all face shapes. For someone who wants to be able to pull their hair back into a ponytail, the lifestyle is best.
Modern Brigitte Bardot Layers

QA with Heather Jassem Hairstylist / Color Balayage Specialist @ Alchemy Studio in Oakland Ca How would you describe this look and what’s your favorite? I love just pasting the trim of the shoulder-length! My client grew her long hair and bangs and it reached the sweet spot only recently. We are now dealing with Brigitte Bardot’s modern-day look in that her grown-out fringe now matches the layers of her new shag. What items would you suggest for this look to be preserved and recreated? What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? I really think this look can work for a lot of different textures. It’s all about how much time the customer wants to put in and how we teach our customers about home care. The great thing about this haircut is that it can work with all face shapes because you can flatter their shape by changing the fringe or length. This is a sleek, airy haircut that most people will love!

Natural Effortless Layered Wavy hair
QA with Milla Kvick Hairstylist style maker @ Salon Noomi in Sweden How would you describe this look and what is your favorite thing about it? I still tell my clients that this look’s aptly called this is how I wake up. It’s because it’s supposed to look as natural and easy as possible. You need some layering in your hair as longer one-length hair doesn’t look twisted the same way and I always love putting different tones together colorwise. The organic feeling of it is my favorite thing about this look. What items would you suggest for this look to be preserved and recreated? It is important to prepare the hair properly to create a lasting, effortless long layered wavy hair like this. I used Schwarzkopf Osis+ Flatliner for the first time as a prepping product in this look. This makes the hair anti-static, making the waves more balanced and natural. I still tip my customers to horizontally hold the flat iron and take large horizontal sections while curling their hair. Instead of the classic tight curl, you’ll get a more wavy hair feel.QA with Austin Tx> Raven Row Salon How would you describe this look and what’s your favorite about it? This color is a sunkissed balayage that is very natural. I love this look as it’s very low maintenance and it looks like she’s been on the beach for the summer. I gave her soft layers of texture for the cut. She loves to wear curled hair so long layers give her lots of movement so feel free to infuse lots of curls with those long layered hairstyles. What items would you suggest for this look to be preserved and recreated? I consider using a workable hairspray to prepare the hair in order to achieve the textured wavy look. Choose a material that is not too sticky to keep your fingers going through your skin. My favorite is the Oribe Freestyler Hairspray Working. What kind of customer do you suggest this look for? For women with medium to thick hair that are able to style for a few minutes, I suggest this layered hairstyle. For long hair and color this layered hairstyle will also look great on ladies with a naturally curly or wavy texture that prefers to let their hair dry.
