Layered hairstyles are classy and elegant looking. Lots of women like having layers put on their hair regardless of whether they have short, medium or long hair. Tresses just look so much better when they have layered as compared to when they’re cut at all the same length. Of course, as with anything, layered hairstyles come with disadvantages such as the upkeep but it’s advantages outweigh these making it only logical to go for layered hairstyles over blunt, same length hair.

• Layered hairstyles can make you look fresher and up-to-date – sometimes when hair grows out and we neglect to have it re-done, it can look dated and boring. Simply adding a few new layers to an old hairstyle will keep you looking fresh and up-to-date. Layered hairstyles are also more ‘modern’ looking and are more appropriate for the current times.

• Layered hairstyles make you look younger – it’s true; although layered hairstyles do not choose a specific age group, adding layers to your hair can take a few couple of years off of you without having to go through insanely expensive treatments and surgeries. Having layers in their hair is a popular choice for mature women because of this reason as the layers take the attention away from wrinkles to the better features of their faces.

• Layered hairstyles add volume to limp hair – if you have long, straight hair and don’t have time for hair treatments very often, chances are that your hair can go limp as the weight of your hair piles up and pulls down. Cutting a few layers in the hair can take away the excess weight, thus giving your hair more volume.

• Layered hairstyles flatters the face – when done right, layered hairstyles can flatter your face heaps, no matter what shape it is. They can conceal facial flaws and bring more attention to your beautiful features, depending on where your layers fall, like your eyes or your cheekbones.

• Layered haircuts are versatile – unlike other hairstyles that can only bring out the best of features from a specific age, face shape or facial features, layered hairstyles are very versatile and can be done on anyone regardless of age, face shape, facial features or any other limiting factor.

Good hairstylists should know how to do your hair with layers to bring out all your assets, simply ask and consult them for the best layered hairstyle that would suit you on your next visit.
