50 Gorgeous Layered Hairstyles for Longer Hair
Blowout and bridal inspiration right this way!
You've finally grown out that lob — now what? Take some inspiration from your favorite celebrities — Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, and more — and add volume to your long hair. One trip to the salon, a few award-winning products, and a curling wand (or hair staightener!) will have your layers looking special occasion ready in no time.
Layered Mega Curls
Go au naturel like Thandie Newton. A conditioning foam, like Pantene Pro-V Classic Clean Foam Conditioner ($6, target.com) will keep the frizz at bay while giving you mega-volume. Win-win.
Ombré Layers
In addition to layers, Melissa McCarthy's subtly gradient color helps add gorgeous dimension.
Blunt Bangs with Curly Hair
Add over-the-eyebrow bangs for some serious drama. (And here's how to style them to frame your face.)
'60s Voluminous Layers
Turn into a modern-day Brigitte Bardot by teasing the hair around your crown like Tyra Banks.
Beachy and Blonde Layers
To get beachy waves like Christie Brinkley's all year round, follow these easy tutorials.
Long Hair with Side Bangs
Self-conscious about your forehead? Try long, side-swept bangs like Taylor Swift's.
Soft and Curly Layers
Loosely-curled ends look extra-polished on Jennifer Garner. Use a larger round brush to achieve the same smooth bounce, or a smaller one for extra lift.
Dressed Up Beachy Hair
Beachy waves aren't only for the beach, as proven by Mindy Kaling. She takes the look to a more polished place with a finishing product like Kerastase Initialiste Scalp & Hair Serum ($51, kerastase-usa.com).
Super Sideswept Layers
Don't be afraid of a deep side part — Meghan Markle's asymmetric look creates lots of volume (and looks trés chic). Of course, a tiara is highly recommended.
Half-Up Messy Bun Hairstyle
Show off your length while keeping your hair out of your face in the cutest possible way: a high-set messy bun with a strand wrapped around the hair tie ($6, amazon.com).
Big Blonde Curly Hair
Follow Amanda Seyfried's lead and add volume to your blowout. Headband is optional.
