A short layered haircut with bangs offers voluminous styles with texture and movement. The chop is easier to jazz up, perfect for getting a chic look.
Stylist Amber Ree of Ladysmith, BC agrees how a short layered cut breathes life into tresses. “It gives fullness to flat, heavy or dull hair. Adding the fringe can really help create a fuller appearance,” she explains.
Just make sure to blow dry the bangs every day for a style that lasts longer.
A chop with layers and bangs requires more trims, so this isn’t for women looking for a low-maintenance style. It’s not even ideal for those who like pulling their hair back into a ponytail.
Short haircuts are customizable and come in many forms. When choosing your cut and style, consider your lifestyle.
Ree suggests, “Ask your stylist before getting a chop. They can help you choose what will accommodate your lifestyle the best.”
