Layered Long Hairstyles — @justinandersoncolor.

At one point or another, we've all faced the classic salon dilemma when you want a haircut that feels fresh and new, but you love your length and can't bear the thought of anything more than just a trim. While one-length styles certainly don't have to lack panache, layers are an easy option for anyone who is craving a change that does not require sacrificing much length. Of course, thick hair and those with curly hair see major volume-boosting effects of a layered cut, but fine and thin hair also benefit from strategically placed layers. Basically, if you have long hair, layering can almost always offer a major refresh.

Here are the best layered haircuts for long hair to consider for your next appointment.
