#1: Face-Framing Long Chocolate Brown Hair
My best advice for front-layered haircuts on long hair is to keep layers around the chin area shorter. This will help create volume that works in harmony with your longer cut. As well as draw attention away from your jawline whilst still framing it beautifully. Avoid too many layers in the back if you want to preserve thickness around the perimeter. Ask for disconnected layers to prevent that from happening. When blow-drying, use a straight diffuser attachment and quality products. Try Shu Uemura Ishi Sculpt Hair Pomade or Kérastase Discipline Oléo-Relax Hair Oil. Both provide definitions without making strands stiffer. It’s perfect for achieving a lived-in texture.
#2 Long Layers with Highlights
Long layers with highlights are a complementary style for long hair. The long layered hair upfront gives a face-framing style and the strategically placed highlights will accentuate the cut and give a beautiful pop of color.
#3 Volumizing Long Layers for Fine Hair
Ask for volumizing long layers if you have fine hair and are looking for a cut that will provide both fullness and shape to flat or thin hair. This cut works nicely for women with either fine, wavy, or straight hair and can easily be styled with a round brush or large curling iron.
#4: Long Blonde Visibly Layered Hair
Opt for visibly layered cuts to give your long blonde hair a dramatic effect. Choppy layers give a drastic style that suits both messy and structured looks, enhancing your versatility with your new look.
#5: 90s-Inspired Long Hairstyle with Layers
A layered cut in the front gives a feminine and chic look that professional women desire. You need a moderate to high volume of hair around your front hairline to get a full layered look. You can add a few hair extensions for extra fullness. The use of flat-tip extensions is a good technique for the front hair and scalp area.
#6: Visible Front Layers on Long Hair
Visible front layers offer great benefits for long hair. These layers not only add texture and body to your hair but also make updos and ponytails look cute with shorter strands around the face.
#7: Face-Framing Romantic Layers
Such a look of soft face-framing romantic layers can really soften strong facial features. With this new haircut, add shades of blonde around your face. First, get the haircut, then ask your stylist to add the highlights. For this blowout, use Bumble & Bumble Thickening Full-Form Soft Mousse. Apply it generously from your roots to tips. Take your round brush and blow dryer. Start with a rough dry and then commence the beveling process.
#8: Ash Blonde Front Layers
Adding ash blonde front layers is a great way to add dimension and brightness to long hair. You can achieve this look if you keep the layers soft and layered near the front. Just maintain the length in the back. This cut provides face-framing layers that enhance the cheekbones. I recommend using toning shampoos and conditioners to keep the ash hue vibrant. Please avoid heat-styling tools, as they can make the color and texture look flat.
#9: Extra Long Blonde Hair with Front Layers
An extra long blonde style with front layers could be your next style. The best way to add movement to long hair is with face-framing layers. I suggest having a razor cut or point cutting around the face framing layers for the softest effect. Take into consideration face shape when deciding where to start the layers. Carve down from that point, blending into the length.
#10: Front Layered Highlights
Don’t be afraid to try this long, front layered haircut. The layers really help showcase your eyes and cheekbones. Plus, they add some texture to create subtle volume. If you can, talk with your stylist about adding some face-framing to your next haircut.

It helps to keep everything in place without stiffening up your mane.
#12: Super Sleek Long Thin Hair with Front Layers
Having super sleek long thin hair styles with front layers is actually a great asset for those with long faces. By adding some layers at the front, the fringe can create a softer look around your face. The hair’s sleekness will help to elongate the face, making it appear less long. To keep this look, however, you must invest in good-quality hair products. These products will keep your hair in place. For example, a lightweight styling cream.
#13: Long Layers with Flipped Out Ends
You can never go wrong with long layers and flipped-out ends. Layered haircuts are one of the most popular styles and give your hair more body and movement.

Leave your ends in the brush until it cools so the style will set.

Front layered haircuts for long hair create a bounce and movement without a drastic chop. These don’t only preserve density and length but also help frame and open up women’s faces.
Aya Allathqani, a stylist and the owner of Bella Visci Salon in Houston, TX, shares knowledge on this trend. She guarantees that this cut fits all hair types and face shapes.
“It reduces weight and bulk from thick hair, giving it a softer look,” she explains. “With finer tresses, a subtle face frame does the magic. It offers an illusion of layers, movement, and body without losing density and length.”
Never cut your face frame at home as it could become a DIY mess, Allathqani warns.
Look for a skilled hairdresser who’s no stranger to the techniques and set a consultation. It’s the best time to seek an honest opinion on how the face-framing layers look on you.
These layers appear stunning when cut in the middle. But if you have a side part, pieces on either side must be equal and balanced. It’s a sophisticated and versatile cut if performed correctly.
When styling, don’t wear this pin-straight. Utilize a flat iron to bend the layers towards the face and a round brush to form the extra body.
Allathqani suggests, “Let the hair cool down for 15-30 seconds after flat ironing. Brush it back using your hands, and it’ll swoop back effortlessly!”
