The feeling

A closer look

Long layers keep length while adding movement through the ends. This version avoids a heavily stepped outline and leaves the upper lengths mostly intact. The face-framing pieces can start below the chin if you want to keep them easy to tuck back.

These generated images are inspiration. A hairdresser can help adapt the shape to your density, growth patterns and preferred routine.

Styling notes

  • Detangle from the ends upwards with a gentle comb or brush.
  • Apply a little leave-in care to the mid-lengths and ends if needed.
  • Air-dry or use a low-temperature blow-dry, following the natural fall of the layers.

Everyday upkeep

  • Trim according to the condition of the ends, often around ten to twelve weeks.
  • Check that face-framing pieces still fit comfortably into your preferred tie-back style.
