Who said long hair can’t be layered? Adding layers to your long hairstyle is the best thing you can do to achieve volume to your look.
8. Short Layered Crop
Breathe life into your short cuts with the help of layers. If you are adding layers to a pixie, opt for adding layers at the top of your crown for height. You can also consider adding layered bangs to give your fringe a standout look.

1. Get regular trims.
Trims are an essential part of hair maintenance. The primary reason is to ensure that gnarly split ends don’t come creeping into your tresses. With layered haircuts, you have to be particularly diligent with trimming, especially if you have layers that frame your face. In general, the more you wait, the more your haircut can get messy and lose definition and depth. Pro tip: A general rule of thumb is to trim every six weeks.
2. Change up your color.
Even the hottest haircut in the world can get boring pretty quickly if not spruced up from time to time. Mix up layered cuts by enhancing the look with some color. This can be a subtle change of hue to enhance your natural hair color, or even something as simple as highlights. The ombré look is also really popular, with long layers that naturally grow out of hair if and when you want to try something completely new.
3. Keep your hair healthy.
In addition to trims, your layered strands will need proper moisture. Be sure to use a moisture-rich hair treatment like Suave Professionals Coconut Milk Infusion Intense Moisture Mask to maintain the healthy look and feel of your hair. You can use the mask once or twice a month.
4. Mix up your style.
Just like adding color to mix up your look, changing your hairstyle will also help your layered haircut have some staying power. This can be as simple as adding waves to your straight hair or straightening out your waves or curls. This, however, can be challenging to try everyday so be sure to reserve serious styling when you want to look polished and have the time to concentrate on altering your hair.
