To give you the best chance of choosing a look on your own, we’re delving into the most incredible layered haircuts out there. We’ll talk about what makes each one so special, who they suit, which hair types they’re best for, and give helpful tips on things to consider in terms of your lifestyle.
The Best Layered Haircuts We’ve Ever Laid Eyes On
It’s no secret that layered hairstyles for women vary greatly from cut to cut. Some are designed to add movement and subtle shape whilst others will give you heaps of volume and unrivaled dimension.
So which is right for you?
Choppy Layers
If you’re looking to add tons of volume and movement throughout your tresses, ask your stylist for choppy layers! It’s also a beautifully bold haircut that will add an undeniably modern edge to your look. This is owing to the fact your stylist will use large sections of hair at a time to create it.
As you may have already guessed, this blunt, edgy cut is perfect for those with straight hair, especially if it’s on the thinner side. It’s also a recommended look for anyone with a long face or a face that’s particularly angular. Why? Choppy layers add volume to your hair which can simultaneously make your face appear softer and in some cases a little fuller too.
Light Feathery Layers
Wispy layered haircuts for women are perfect if you’re searching out a more subtle finish from your layered look. What’s more, we also recommend light feathery layers like this for anybody wishing to add definition to their facial features.
Your stylist will often create shorter layers for this haircut. Which are ideal for drawing attention to your facial features, especially your eyes!
U-Shaped Layers
If you’re wondering what exactly U-shaped layers are, it’s probably exactly what you’re imagining. They’re layers that, instead of finishing off in a V-shape at the bottom, finish in a softer, more rounded way. These layered haircuts are ideal for those searching for a soft, bouncy look full of volume and pretty, smooth edges.
We highly recommend this type of cut for softening facial features with your haircut and for those with mid to long-length hair. Though this cut can and does work for shorter hair, it truly shines when given enough length to play with. This way you’ll really see each layer shine individually as well as together as one amazing look.
V-shaped Layers
V-shaped layers on the other hand are all about dramatic, heavily layered points that promote incredible amounts of movements and the most beautiful shapes throughout your lengths. This haircut will work best for those with a normal to thick hair texture as it’ll add shape, but also work to lift some of the weight out of your locks which can often weigh your style down.
Eternally Stylish Layered Hair Cuts That Work With Your Busy Lifestyle
We don’t have many rules when it comes to finding the right layered haircut to fit in with a busy work and social life schedule. In fact, we basically have just one!
Avoid very short layers.
If you’re someone that exercises regularly with your hair all tied up or you’re used to being able to secure all of your hair back in place for work with one hair elastic, multiple choppy layers falling down around your face and eyes just won’t be practical for you.
Instead, longer, softer layers will be perfect, You’ll still achieve all of that beautiful shape and texture yet you’ll still be able to style your hair up and out of the way with ease.
All that said, rules are meant to be broken… sometimes. If you’re happy to use headbands and bobby pins to secure the hair in place whilst you sweat it out at the gym or have a long day at work, don’t let us stop you from achieving those face-shaping shorter layers you’re dreaming of!

Loose Beachy Waves
Whether you choose to let your hair dry naturally or you set about creating this look with heat styling, loose beachy waves are one of the prettiest ways to show off the new layers within your hair.
