A layered haircut is suitable for any length. However, shoulder-length hair in particular benefits from this. Only light steps are incorporated into the top layer and at the front. This makes the hair look livelier, more voluminous and overall more casual. Naturally straight hair structure doesn't seem boring and the curls really come into their own.

In the trendy pony hairstyle, both the hair and the bangs are cut in a fringed manner and it has become a favorite hairstyle of many fashion women. The look is actually inspired by the 60s and 70s and conquered the fashion world back then too. Its most famous representative isBrigitte Bardotwith her casual curtain fringe or in German “curtain pony”. The forehead fringes are divided into two parts by an imperfect middle parting, which frame the side of the face. The longest fringes reach down to the cheeks and flow smoothly into the rest of the hair, making them look randomly styled.

Short layered haircuts

Layered hair is possible with any hair length.Especially with short hairstylesthere are great step cuts. Actually, with most bob hairstyles, the hair on the back of the head is classified as very short, which creates more volume. At the same time, the front section is left longer and longer strands gently frame the face.

If you have a short or longer bob, there is also a version with a fringe. It doesn't always have to be cut straight, but can also be fringed. An asymmetrical hairstyle with long angled bangs looks particularly upbeat. Basically, in almost all short hairstyles with hair length less than 8 centimeters, such as pixies and even bobs, the hair is cut in steps.

For curly hair

Curls are beautiful and everyone who has straight hair dreams of beautiful curls. However, anyone who has curly hair knows well that styling and caring for it is sometimes not that easy. A step cut is particularly suitable for this. It immediately loosens the hair and gives it more bounce. This makes them lighter and more voluminous at the same time.

A layered cut in which the top hair is a little shorter than the rest is simply excellent, especially for medium-length curly hair. This way the curls curl better and because the hair is not so long, it doesn't feel so heavy.

Style correctly

A layered cut allows for many styling options. Layered hair is usually easier to style than straight cut hair. It is best to blow-dry the steps outwards, inwards or smooth. This is mainly done with a round brush. Depending on how long your hair is, you should choose one with a larger or smaller diameter. To straighten your hair with a hairdryer, use as large a round brush as possible.

To create additional volume in your hair, you should blow dry strand by strand with a round brush. For the short stages, you can use a smaller brush, but not smaller than 6 cm in diameter, and use it to blow-dry the hair inwards. The longer, inner steps are blow-dried outwards with a larger brush. This blow-drying technique is particularly suitable for basic hair lengths over 40 centimeters.

Long layered hair

The layers add bounce and volume to the hair and are particularly recommended for long and/or thick hair. The individual levels differ from each other by just a few centimeters and you lose almost nothing of the basic length of the hair. Long hair with a layered cut is always trendy and looks healthier and simply cool.

The same cut, but so many styling options possible. Most stars and celebrities who wear their hair long have opted for a layered cut. This is not a coincidence. Layered hair is versatile and you can't go wrong with it. In addition, celebrities often use hair extensions for their appearances on stage, which provide more hair volume and a glamorous look. With layered hair, the extensions can be worked in more easily and invisibly, which ultimately means the result is better.

Whether straight, with great beach waves or completely natural, all layered hairstyles can be styled in a variety of ways and are extremely easy. However, there are three things you shouldn't forget when styling: volume at the roots, healthy ends and beautifully defined layers.

The layers in the hair are particularly effective when they are emphasized with a little color. Highlights, balayage and ombré are always a good idea for layered hair and are eye-catchers.

Two facts about layered hair:

  • Strong/large layers are best for long, heavy and thick hair. Otherwise it will appear thinned out and lose bounce.
  • Layered ends are more prone to split ends because they put mechanical stress on each other. That's why a regular visit to the hairdresser is crucial for the good condition and look of the hair.
