Gorgeous Layered Haircuts for Long Hair

The dilemma: you’re craving a new cut to freshen things up for spring, but love your length and can’t bear the thought of sacrificing more than a trim to the hands of your stylist. First of all, we don’t blame you for either. In fact, our serious case of spring fever often falls prey to the demands of our hair (in good company with our freshly painted porches and updated wardrobes, of course)—and, we know as well as anyone the great lengths it takes to grow covetable mermaid hair. While edgy, one-length styles certainly don’t lack panache, flirtatious layers are the answer for the girl who craves a little romance in the hair-care corner of her life without sacrificing length. Bonus: regular trims are proven to help promote growth in your strands, so double-win! When the cold, dry days of winter have left your ‘do flat and uninspired, a few face-framing, eye-catching layers will transform your locks into a full and flirty hairsterpiece. (Did we mention this cut also happens to look très chic with the hair coloring technique of the year: balayage?) Ladies with thick hair can benefit of the weight-lifting effects of a layered cut, while those with thin hair will enjoy a bouncy fullness that layering inspires. We rounded up the best layered haircuts for long hair that will leave you and your hair feeling fresh, youthful, and reinvigorated just in time for spring.
