21 Beautifully Layered Hairstyles for Medium Length Hair

Curly Couture

This chiseled haircut is a great shape for curly haired girls. The short to medium layers help keep the length looking light and also make this style much easier to manage. Keeping the hair parted on the side keeps this style whimsical and airy.
How To Style:
These are natural curls created from using a lot of mousse and a diffuser. If you don’t have curly hair you can curl very small sections of hair with a tiny spiral curling iron – it will just take a very long time. Girls with natural curls should use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to moisturize curls and cut back on frizz.


1. Towel dry and blot to remove moisture and then layer on the products.
2. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle hair and then scrunch from the ends up to encourage the curl.
3. Put the diffuser attachment onto your hairdryer and cradle your curls on medium heat. Tip your head upside down to create volume.
4. Keep moving the diffuser around until your hair is completely dry and spray with hairspray if you desire.

Recommended Products:
Scrunch wet hair with Pureoloy Root Lift and also try Redken’s Glass as a shine serum before you diffuse.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
This style would work well on all face shapes except heart shaped faces. Girls with naturally curly hair should rock this style especially if they have hair of medium thickness.
Tip: Spray some hairspray and scrunch up with your fingers after hair is dry to add some texture and grit.


Bold and Beautiful

Short layers will always help add volume to your look. This sleek style has lots of texture from short to medium layers throughout and even around the face for framing. It’s a great idea to accent your layers with hidden pops of color. This particular style is a dark brown with deep red tones as a highlight.
How To Style:
As always, put the appropriate styling products in your hair after getting out of the shower and towel dry.


1. Use your blow dryer to remove most of the moisture in your hair and then section off a medium sized section, starting at your nape.
2. Take your blow-dryer and a medium sized round brush and blow dry each section dropping a new section down after the last one is completely dry. Blow dry hair under or out depending on the look you are going for.
3. Really pull hair up and back when you reach the top sections of your add for optimal volume.
4. Blow dry your bangs forward and to the side.
5. Take a few sections of hair up at the crown and tease for added height.

Recommended Products:
Use some type of mousse or foam to help add volume to your look. Try Redken’s Body Full Foam at the crown of your head or try Prive’s Shining Weightless Amplifier. Also use a smoothing leave-in conditioner for softness and shine and also to help protect the hair from heat. Try Kerastase’s Ciment Thermique for a perfect blow dry cream.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
Side parts are flattering for all face shapes. Try this haircut if you have straight to wavy hair with any type of thickness.
Tip: Keep your layers proportional to the length like this style does so you don’t tread into mullet territory. Whoops!


Red Rocker

This hairstyle showcases beautiful color and texture. Dark cherry colored hair with shaggy layers throughout is youthful and fun. Add short side bangs to add flair and interest.
How To Style:


1. Blow-dry your hair with a large paddle brush to smooth and remove all moisture.
2. Use the paddle brush to blow dry the bangs down and towards the side you want them to go.
3. When hair is completely dry go back in and flat iron. Start with small sections at the nape and move up.
4. Detail your style by beveling the flat iron slightly under at the ends and out on the bangs.

Recommended Products:
Agadir Argan Oil Hair Treatment helps smooth as well as nourish the hair cuticle making it soft and protects it from heat.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
Side bangs and layers like these help soften all face shapes. Works best on clients with naturally straight or wavy hair of all hair thicknesses. If you have really thin hair too many layers may make your hair look even thinner so take caution and tell your stylist your concerns.
Tip: If you do opt for a red shade for your hair color keep it looking fresh with regular color appointments. Using good moisturizing shampoos and conditioners will keep you hair healthy and help it hold onto the color longer, too.


Swept Away

Red carpet elegance is clearly displayed with this soft blow-out. Medium to long layers play around her shoulders and face beautifully. A center part with long flippy bangs adds a fun sweeping style.
How To Style:
Practice your blow-drying skills to become an expert at this soft rounded style.


1. Part your hair right down the middle and comb through after getting out of the shower.
2. Blow-dry hair with a paddle brush until it is almost dry then clip up half of you hair and start detailing with a large round brush. Take sections of your hair and pull with the round brush while drying. The more you smooth and twist while you dry the sleeker and flipped out your hair will be when you’re done.
3. Take a 1 and ½ inch curling iron and curl the bangs back and away from the face.

Recommended Products:
Use a leave in conditioner like Prive’s Thermal Detangling Spray, which helps comb out hair, moisturizes, and protects hair from heat. Then use Prive’s Shine Spray to mist over a beautiful and silky glow!
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
Center parts look great on all face shapes except long oval faces. If you are good at blow drying then any type of hair thickness or texture would work for this style.
Tip: Use the nozzle on your blow-dryer to really concentrate and direct hot air down the hair shaft. This will also help eliminate frizz. 


Red Raven

This hairstyle showcases beautiful color and texture. Dark cherry colored hair with shaggy layers throughout is youthful and fun. Add short side bangs to add flair and interest.
How To Style:


1. Blow-dry your hair with a large paddle brush to smooth and remove all moisture.
2. Use the paddle brush to blow dry the bangs down and towards the side you want them to go.
3. When hair is 100% dry go back in and flat iron. Start with small sections at the nape and move up.
4. Detail your style by beveling the flat iron slightly under at the ends and on the bangs.

Recommended Products:
Agadir Argan Oil Hair Treatment helps smooth as well as nourish the hair cuticle making it soft and protects it from heat.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:

Tip: If you do opt for a red shade for your hair color keep it looking fresh with regular color appointments. Using good moisturizing shampoos and conditioners will keep you hair healthy and help it hold onto the color longer, too. 


Burning Brilliance

This hot copper color sure is a head turner! Add tons of textured layers and spicy bangs and you’ve gotta a hot new look. Keeping all the ends razored and piecey helps the style grow out beautifully as well as adds tons of movement.
How To Style:


1. Blow-dry your hair with a large paddle brush or medium sized round brush to smooth and remove all moisture.
2. Blow-dry your bangs straight down and use your fingers to break them up and keep them from looking too perfect.
3. When hair is 100% dry go back in and flat iron. Start with small sections at the nape and move up.
4. Spray your hair with a texture spray or hairspray and then scrunch up with your hands to add a gritty look on the ends.

Recommended Products:
Use a light blow dry serum or shine spray before blow-drying like Pureology Glossing Mist. Add grit with Prive’s Texture Spray for slight hold and fabulous texture.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
Square faces should stay away from this linear and angular style. If you have a small forehead you might opt for slightly longer bangs. This style is not the best for thin hair – too  many layers can make hair look straggly. If you have naturally straight to wavy hair this style will be easily achieved.
Tip: Don’t use a small round brush on your bangs unless you want them to really bump under. Blow-drying them straight down with your fingers will be the perfect technique for smooth, sleek bangs. 


Color Contrast

Another amazing example of a rich red color! Loving this color trend for 2012. This particular shade is a lot deeper base with subtle copper highlighting throughout to help create movement and depth. This adorable cut frames the face beautifully with chiseled layers in the front and longer layers throughout. An extreme part also helps frame the face and create a fun shape.
How To Style:


1. Use your blow dryer to remove most of the moisture in your hair and then section off medium sized section, starting at your nape.
2. Take your blow dryer and a medium sized round brush and blow dry each section dropping a new section down after the last one is completely dry.
3. Blow-dry your hair under to create this particular style.
4. Really pull hair up and back when you reach the top sections of your add for optimal volume. 5. Use a flat iron to really smooth your bangs forward and to the side. Also use the flat iron to help flick under any pieces that didn’t quite make the cut with your blow dry.

Recommended Products:
Use Moroccan Oil’s Signature Treatment Serum in your hair wet and dry to protect hair from heat, humidity, frizz, and more.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
Believe it or not this look would be fabulous on a round face shape. Straight to wavy haired girls with thick to thin hair can try out this look.
Tip: Always consider highlights or lowlights to add dimension to your color. Even subtle pieces will really change the overall look of your style and make you pop.


Reba’s  Funky Flip

Reba is known for her red hair and flirty layers. Make them your own by telling your stylist you want tons of voluminous layering and lightweight texture. This versatile style can be flipped under or flicked out. Add some razored bangs and you’re good to go.
How To Style:
First you must decide if you want your hair flipped out or under. If you decide to flip it out then:


1. Blow-dry hair until almost dry and go in with a small round brush and blow-dry hair away from the face.
2. Use a large sized curling iron and curl the ends out and away from the face to refresh what you did with your brush work.
3. Curl the bangs down and under quickly just enough heat to bend them under.

Recommended Products:
Use Healthy Sexy Hair’s Taming Foam for volume and lift. Apply it at the crown for optimal height.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
This style would look great on all face shapes and work with all hair thicknesses.
Tip: When having your bangs cut for the first time, ask your stylist to start with a few bangs and keep them longer. You can always add more hair and make them shorter if you want – not the other way around!


Blonde Shag

This shoulder length shag has tons of movement created from layers and color. Layers are cut into the hair to add texture while the blonde highlights break up the color for dimension. Jagged looking pieces are placed throughout as well as up into the side bangs. Have fun with this style by keeping the flippy movement and don’t over flat iron it.
How To Style:


1. Blow-dry hair smooth and straight with a paddle brush.
2. Flat iron the bangs and any other pieces you feel need more smoothing.
3. Tease the crown loosely to add texture and some height.
4. Spray with hairspray and scrunch.

Recommended Products:
To keep hair tousled and teased use Loreal’s Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong Hold.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
This style looks great on oval faces due to the side part and jawline layering. Medium to thick hair would work great and the more straight your hair is the better.
Tip: Give your hair a break from blow-drying and flat ironing every now and then. Heat is hard on the hair so allow it to dry naturally from time to time.


Layered Curls

This beautiful chestnut brown hairstyle boast medium to long layers that create a beautiful shape even when curly. Hair falls right at the shoulders for a fantastic face-framing look. Add some full side bangs for an all-out amazing style!


How to Style:

1. Blow-dry your hair smooth and silky. Use a paddle brush to really get it smooth.
2. Use a medium sized curling iron and pop in some bouncy curls throughout your whole head of hair.
3. Use your trusty flat iron to smooth out bangs and bump them over to the side.
Recommended Products:
Use heat-protecting products that help add shine. Kerastase’s Oleo Relax has amazing nutrients to protect and nourish hair while giving your strands a fabulous mirror like finish.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Medium to thick hair that is naturally straight or wavy is an awesome foundation for this particular hairstyle.
Tips: Spray on some shine spray before you use any irons for amazing and incredible shine.


Tapered Curls

This cute curly haircut boasts tapered layers around the face and shoulders that create a soft, cascading effect.


How to Style:

1. Get your hot rollers heated up and then pop them in your hair.
2. Allow hair to set and then cool.
3. Remove and brush through for whole head of full and bouncy curls.
Recommended Products:
Use hot rollers that are safer on your hair like Conair’s Instant Heat Compact Setter
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Curls help soften and compliment all face shapes so have fun with your hot rollers. Straight to wavy textured hair that is thin to thick can achieve this look.
Tips: Hot rollers give more volume and last longer than curls created with an iron.


Red Raven

This gorgeous red crimson color accents beautiful face-framing layers. Longer bangs are parted and flipped back to wing out at the sides. The shortest layers start at the chin and then blend down to the lengths gorgeously.
How to Style:
1. Grab your favorite blow dryer and trusty round brush to bevel ends under and towards the face.
2. When hair is completely dry, go back through with a flat iron to smooth and bump under the ends even more.
Recommended Products:
Soft, hydrated hair is the most flattering. Keep it that way by protecting your hair from heat. Try Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Pure Treatment Oil.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Keeping the layers around the front of the face is a great idea for thinner hair. This way you can keep the back of the hair full. Round or square shaped faces are great for this hairstyle. The sweeping layers help add shape and soften hard lines.
Tips: Take thin small sections of hair when flat ironing to get the most out of your ironwork. Run through with the iron smoothly and slowly so you don’t have to go over the hair multiple times and increase heat damage.


Layered Texture

This fun and flippy hairstyle shows off an array of fun blended and disconnected layers. Short layers at the crown are flipped out as well as the medium to longer shaped layers that helps create a youthful and textured style.
How to Style:
1. Use your fingers and a blow dryer to remove all moisture out of your hair.
2. When hair is dry, go in with a flat iron to flick out ends. Grab random pieces throughout your hair and bevel the ends out with the flat iron. Work quickly so you don’t create a curled effect.
3. Run your fingers through to break up your ironwork slightly and then finish off with a fun texturizing product for hold.
Recommended Products:
Paul Mitchell has a Super Clean Light Hold Finishing spray that’s perfect for keeping your cute texture in place.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
This hairstyle lacks bangs so it would be better for face shapes that aren’t long or oval. This cute layered cut is great for all hair thicknesses that are on the straight to wavy side.
Tips: If you want hair to look sleek and straight, don’t add layers. Layers help add volume, shape, and texture so if you don’t want any of those elements added keep with a simple, one-length haircut.


Blonde Ambition

This super sleek hairstyle works perfectly because the layers are kept around the face to add a complementary framing. The layers start right at the chin and feather down softly. A side part keeps the look fresh and modern.
How to Style:
1. Use your favorite smoothing products while you blow-dry. I recommend using a paddle brush while drying to blow hair smooth.
2. When your hair is one hundred percent dry, turn on your flat iron and go through with small sections of hair and smooth hair out even more. Bevel the ends under only slightly for a nice rounded finish on the tips.
Recommended Products:
Heat is always a threat to your hair so protect it with good products. Try a cream on wet hair like Kerastase Nectar Thermique. It’s heat activated and conditions hair as you blow-dry.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Naturally straight hair is ideal for this smooth hairstyle but wavy hair could be flattened out with minimal effort. Square or round shaped faces would be great for this straight style.
Tips: Only use a flat iron if you really need to. Sometimes a good blow-dry is all you need. Keep your hair away from heat as much as possible or give it breaks a couple days a week so you don’t get damage.


Three Tiers

These disconnected layers work because they fall at all the right places. The top tier hits right at the eyes, the second tier right at the chin, and the last tier falls right past the shoulders. The layers are just enough to add interest but not too much to be overwhelming and messy.
How to Style:
1. This is another hairstyle that calls on your flat iron skills. Flat iron your entire head of hair smoothly and slowly while really concentrated on bumping the ends under for that rolled under look.
2. Roll the bangs out away from the face on the ends to create the fun swept away appearance.
Recommended Products:
Argan Oil is a flat iron’s best friend. Keep your hair shiny, hydrated, and smooth by applying a bit to hair while it’s dry before you use any hot tools.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Round faces and heart shaped faces will really shine with this three-tiered layered hairstyle. Thick hair that is on the straighter side or girls who don’t mind spending time with their flat iron will be able to pull of this look.
Tips: Hair extensions might be a good option for this look. Since the layers don’t need to be blended you can get away with adding a tier of hair or two.


Bohemian Chic

These multi-level bangs are awesome at creating all kinds of different styles. The stand out for this particular look is the thick, full bangs that totally rock! Pulling the bangs forward and to the side make hair look fuller and also help frame the face.
How to Style:
1. Pull hair from far back and with a deep side part to create those full luscious bangs. Flat iron if needed.
2. Use a one and half inch sized curling iron to make large curls and define the layers.
Recommended Products:
Redken has a great heat-protecting product called Glass. It’s a serum that should be applied to dry hair for amazing shine and it’s perfect for ironwork.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Long oval faces are best for this full bang hairstyle. Thin to thick hair with wavy texture is the ideal set of hair to have for this look.
Tips: Sleep with your hair in a bun or a twist. When you wake up your hair should be set with some soft waves. Simply brush through and go out on the town!


Daring Diva

This super adorable hairstyle is created with long tapered side bangs and medium layering throughout the cut. Medium layers are often the go-to for creating that hourglass shape with your hair. They’re perfect for adding a little volume and shape without going overboard with the flips and texture.
How to Style:
1. Put in your favorite smoothing products and grab your blow dryer and round brush. A medium to larger sized brush will be easiest.
2. Remove most of the moisture out of your strands with your fingers and then go in, section by section, starting at your neck and round brush your hair as you blow dry. Pull hair towards your face to create that face-framing shape.
Recommended Products:
Use a product to protect your hair from heat with smoothing capabilities like Redken’s Smooth Down Line. Their shampoo and conditioner as well as their leave-in cream will help you get an amazing blowout.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Thick heads of hair that is on the straight side are the best types of hair for this hairstyle. All face shapes would look stunning with this look.
Tips: Use a clarifying shampoo once a month to remove any build up on your hair. Your moisturizing products will be able to penetrate your hair shaft again and do their job more efficiently.


Retro Waves

These soft, messy tendrils boast old-time glamour wave and texture. Beautiful sweeping bangs bounce back and forth into a pile of touchable soft curls.
How to Style:
1. Use hot rollers on the bangs and roll them over to the side for that big voluminous shape.
2. Use smaller hot rollers on the rest of your hair.
3. Allow hair to set and cool.
4. Remove rollers and run your fingers through to break up the curls and place them where you desire.
Recommended Products:
Use Prive’s Shine Spray on dry hair before ironing for super shiny locks that won’t get crunchy.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
If you have loose natural curls you’re already halfway there in creating this style. All face shapes can pull off this vintage look. If you have a larger forehead or a very vertical face, sweep the bangs forward to add balance.
Tips: If you have naturally curly hair, just throw a big curler in your bangs to create that vintage sophistication.


Shag Haircut

These shaggy layers create a fun rocker style. Point-cut ends help create that ragged texture that takes this hairstyle to the next level. Thick full bangs have a slight jagged edge as well to help add to the shaggy effect.
How to Style:
1. Put in a light mousse or foam to wet hair to add texture while blow-drying.
2. Finger dry or use a paddle brush to smooth out hair and dry it completely.
3. Don’t go in with a flat iron because you want your hair to have a little bit of grit and texture. Amp up those fun elements by using a texture spray or hairspray throughout.
Recommended Products:
Prive’s Shining Weightless Amplifier is a great blow-drying foam that gives your hair protection and won’t weigh it down. Try Big Sexy Hair’s Texture Spray for amazing gritty texture.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Round and oval shaped faces would totally rock this awesome shaggy hairstyle. If your hair is too thin you may want to stay away from these layers as it may look your hair look thinner or stringy. Straight to wavy hair is ideal for this look.
Tips: Use a dry shampoo on day two of this hairstyle to keep up the rocker look.


Subtle Sophistication

Subtle layers can make a big impact on your haircut. Just a few layers were cut into the front corners of this hairstyle and it adds a gorgeous shape and tapered feel. It’s the details that layers add and help take your haircut to the next level.
How to Style:
1. Your flat iron will be your best friend for this style. Heat it up and get ready to section your hair.
2. Start by dropping down a thin section at the neck and flat iron smoothly and slowly and bevel ends under just slightly so you don’t get a stick straight result.
3. Continue to drop down thin sections of hair and run the flat iron through until your entire head is silky and sleek.
Recommended Products:
Moroccan Oil’s Treatment Oil is the best in hydration and heat protection. Run a small dime sized amount through hair while it’s dry before you go in with any hot tools.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
The soft edges of this haircut make it extremely flattering for square shaped faces.
Tips: Bringing in photos of what type of layering you like and don’t like can help you and your hair stylist get on the same page easier and faster.


Feathered Layers

Soft blended layers are a great way to add shape and texture to straight hair. Rounding them towards the face keeps the look fresh and modern.
How to Style:
1. Use a blow dryer and a paddle brush to smooth hair out as you dry it.
2. When hair is almost dry switch to round brush and roll ends under for that fun rounded look.
3. Flat iron bangs when your hair is completely dry.
Recommended Products:
Pureology has an amazing product, Glossing Mist that is great for blowouts.
Best Face Shapes and Hair Types:
Adding bangs helps this hairstyle balance out oval shaped faces. Naturally straight hair is ideal for this sleek look but if you are willing to put in some effort, wavy to loose curls can be straightened out to achieve this look as well.
Tips: Layers are a great idea to add shape and texture without taking off any length. If you need a change in your haircut but are timid to cut off length, simply start by adding some layers.
If you already have a mid-length hairstyle and want to change up your look without cutting off length then add in some fun layers. Bangs are a great option, too. Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair; layers can be the key to opening endless styling possibilities.

Soft Layered Hairstyles for 2012

Soft Layered Hairstyles for 2012

This hairstyle has it all: texture from the subtly shagged cut, the pale wheat blonde color, even a random braid/twist that peeks out! Great for pretty much any face shape and hair type, this cut is one that can be switched up by adding curls and won’t go out of style.
How To Style:
1. Blow out your towel dried hair using a paddle brush after you’ve protected your strands with extra moisture and a heat protection product.
2. Touch up dried hair using a flat iron on low setting.
3. Separate out a small section of hair from the top to create a simple braid or twist. Don’t use a binder to keep it in, just let the ends start to unravel naturally and leave it natural.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any (finer hair density, keep the length in check so you don’t look like you’re sporting straggly hair).
Tip: Don’t think you need to have shiny hair for it to look healthy. Typically, well cared for hair looks healthy without that glossy look. Don’t be afraid of adding in more texture throughout the ends with a product like Redken’s Tousle Whip 04.


Pale Blonde Short Semi Shaggy Hairstyle

Want to free yourself? Go with short hairstyles for 2012. Really short! Lose the length and find another side of yourself you didn’t know was there. With the shorter pieces in back and a little more length in front, you can miss with this cute feminine cut.
How To Style:
1. Blow it out smooth.
2. Flat iron wavy or curly pieces to lay the way you want them to.
3. Use a working hairspray to give it a little grit without weighing it down.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, heart or long. Some square or round. Finer to medium density with smooth texture.
Tip: A subtle pop of color is an unexpected surprise and a lot of fun to wear. Find a shade that suits your skin tone and personality and have it added as a highlight. You can also have your stylist customize the cut around your face to really define your face shape in the best areas to highlight what you want to flaunt. Try out Redken’s Matte Sponge 05 Rugged Texturizer for a roughed up finish with a lot of separation.


Smooth Updo Messy Bun for 2012

Super simple, super chic. Love this look with the full but not obnoxious bump and messy but not sloppy bun in back. Highlights are more visible and it opens up your face for a really dramatic and classic look.
How To Style:
1. Add backcombing to dried hair in the top/crown area. Also pop a little in the back around where you’re pinning your bun to help hold the pins. 2. Part hair on one side and smooth hair back to just below the middle of the back of your head and secure with a hair binder.
3. Twist ends of your pony up in 3 separate sections, one at a time, and pin randomly underneath.
4. Spray finished style with firm hold hairspray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, some heart, subtle round or square, long if you leave face framing pieces out instead of smoothing them back. Fine to thick density, smooth texture.
Tip: Need help with that volume? Use a volumizing product, like Big Sexy Hair’s Volumizing Spray Mousse – Root Pump Plus, before blow drying and a large round brush while drying. Wrap hair up while it’s still warm in a big barrel roll curl and pin where you want the volume to be. Let it cool completely before you take it down. Voila!


Kate’s Long Soft Curls Parted in the Middle

Healthy locks like Ms Kate Beckinsale’s may seem too good to be true, but with the right cut and care, not completely out of reach. Layering helps lift up the exterior weight and gives the style a great shape. Semi permanent gloss can give you a similar shine on your natural (or chemically altered) hair color.
How To Style:
1. Using a large round brush after applying styling and heat protection products (volumizing, too, if you need it!), blow dry hair.
2. Once hair is dry to the touch, roll hair around extra large rollers and let sit either under heat or while you’re doing other things while it completes the drying process.
3. Remove rollers and pull fingers through the curls.
4. Spray with light to medium hold hairspray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, heart, round, square, long. Medium to thick density with a bit of natural wave or texture.
Tip: Vamp up your hair color in 2012 with some hair gloss. You can have your hair care professional apply a semi permanent clear gloss to your hair, or you can do it yourself. Since it’s clear, there’s not as much room for error so don’t feel like this is something you have to go spend a lot of money on. It freshens up your color while you’re waiting for a re-touch. Perfect!


Long Layered Multi-Tone Chic Hairstyle

The darker brown style with a side part and side swept bangs is fabulous with the hand painted red lights blended in.
How To Style:
1. Blow out with a large round brush, making sure to sweep bangs in the direction you want them to lay.
2. Flat iron only if you have to in order to smooth hair in the right direction or polish it up just a little bit.
3. Use a hairspray or pomade to finish styling, depending on your hair type and the finished look you want.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any face shape with fine to thick density hair that has a smooth texture.
Tip: Pomade and wax are great options for those who don’t need to worry about the hold as much as they want to focus on the finish of the strands (textured, slick, etc.). Try out Fekkai Coiff Piecing and Forming Wax for a textured piecey look.


Medium Bob Hairstyles for 2012

This longer bob looks amazing with the refined ends to help taper the bottom of the cut and give it a softer feel. The color is rich and simple, keeping the style classy. The side part is perfect for disguising too large forehead or widow’s peaks. The length comes a little longer in the front to dust the collar bone, while the back and fringe areas are just a little bit shorter.
How To Style:
1. Add styling product to damp hair and blow dry with a paddle brush or large round brush.
2. Use a flat iron, if necessary, to tame any wild hair.
3. Light to medium hold hairspray is all you should need to help keep things in check without compromising the sway of your ‘do.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any face shape. Fine to thicker density with smooth texture.
Tip: Try preserving a little more of your hair’s natural moisture by letting hair almost completely air dry before blow drying. Make sure you’re protecting it from the heat with something intended for just that purpose, like Redken’s Smooth Down Heat Glide or Earthly Body Marrakesh Oil Styling Elixir.


Short Vibrant Red Pixie Style Cut

With a bit of whimsy and a lot of style, this amazing shorter hairstyle can be altered to suit any face shape or hair texture. The red is amazingly vibrant, but it would look just as fabulous with a darker or lighter color, even a bit of a wave!
How To Style:
1. Once hair is dry, use a flat iron to smooth strands or wing them out in the direction you want them to go.
2. Wax or styling glue is perfect for keeping hair where you want it.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, heart, round, square, some long. Fine to medium density, smooth texture.
Tip: Try out AG’s Stucco Matte Paste for lots of texture without the shine. If you like the shine, opt for the Infrastructure Structurizing Pomade, also by AG.


Hairstyles with Full Bangs for 2012

This gorgeous hairstyle is the perfect style. Reminds you of a heroine in a movie or a movie star. The length is long without looking tired or straggly. The bangs are rolled just a bit. Curls are added for fun or a special occasion.
How To Style:
1. Blow hair out after putting in a bit of styling crème and volumizing mousse. Use a large round brush for maximum lift.
2. Wrap larger sections of hair around the barrel of a curling iron.
3. Medium hold should keep it where it belongs.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, heart, square, round, long. Medium to thick density with some natural texture.
Tip: Love Paul Mitchell’s Volumizing Mousse. It smells great and not only gives you volume, but hold too!


Face Framing Hairstyles for 2012

The multi-tonal bob would look good in any color, but looks perfect with the different shades of blonde. That play on color keeps the simple style fresh. The cut is tapered just a little bit in the back to help create the rounder shape.
How To Style:
1. Using a large round brush, blow out hair after towel drying and adding styling products.
2. Pull your flat iron on a low heat setting through your strands to really smooth them out.
3. Medium hold hairspray is all you should need to keep this style in place.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, heart, square, some round, long. Fine to thick density, smooth texture.
Tip: Highlights can be expensive and harsh on your hair. Try skipping treatments every other visit. You’ll lessen the amount of damage done to your hair while protecting your wallet. If your hair still feels dried out, use a little Macadamia Natural Oil Nourishing Leave In Cream to make it a little silkier, add shine and protect your hair from UV rays.


Long Dreamy Beachy Curly Layered Hairstyle with Bangs

Subtle highlights are pulled throughout this style to give it a custom glow without making it too light. The layers keep it from looking heavy or blah, while the curls make it special without being too fancy.
How To Style:
1. Blow hair out with a large paddle brush once you’ve towel dried and added your favorite styling/heat protecting products.
2. After hair is completely dry, use a large barrel curling iron to create the curls. Wrap hair around the outside of the curling iron and let it go after 10-30 seconds (depending on your hair type/texture).
3. Use your fingers to comb through the curls.
4. Flat iron through the bangs if you need it.
5. Medium strength hairspray tops it off.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, round, heart, square, long. Fine to thick density with some natural texture/wave.
Tip: Use a high quality flat iron to protect your hair and make sure you aren’t just melting the strands off. Try Farouk’s CHI Ceramic Style Flat Iron.


Medium Length Mad Men Curly Hairstyle

Want in on the retro trend? Try out this adorable style! It’s versatile enough that you don’t have to keep your hair styled the same way all the time, but at least you’ve got that option. The color takes you back to the 50s era – in a good way!
How To Style:
1. Blow hair out with a round brush after applying setting lotion or styling cream.
2. Use hot rollers or a curling iron to create the curls in the ends. Once the curl has been created, pin it in place and let it cool.
3. After hair has a chance to completely cool off, use a brush to pull through all the curls and blend them together for a nice smooth look in the top.
4. Use your fingers to separate the curls in the ends.
5. Medium to firm hairspray should keep it all where it belongs.
6. If you want to change up your look at any point during the day, use a brush to pull through the curls to soften them out again.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type: 
Ova, heart, round, square, long. Fine to thick density with some natural texture.
Tip: Makeup makes all the difference. You can totally set the mood for the style depending on what you choose to do with your face. Want it truly retro? Add the deep color on your lips and a defined line on pale lids with defined brows. It’s amazing what happens when you pair the right hair and makeup together. Look for how-to videos online if you need help with the vintage/retro look.


Long Layered Curly Blond Center Part Hairstyle

Free and easy, this loose carefree style looks perfect for a runway or the beach. The long length looks even better with some layering and curls. The highlights make her hair look sun-kissed. Definitely a mood lifting style!
How To Style:
1. After hair is completely dry, wrap medium sized sections of hair around the outside of a 1” curling iron.
2. Stretch curls out a little bit for a less ribbon-like look.
3. Fingers are all you should need to soften the style after it’s cooled off.
4. Light to medium hold hairspray is perfect for keeping this style in place.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, square, some round or long. Medium to thick density with enough natural texture to hold a great curl.
Tip: Don’t overdo it on the product or you’ll end up with flat unimpressive hair. Instead, start with a little bit, like Kenra’s Design Spray Light Hold Styling Spray, then add more as needed. It’s much easier to add more product than it is to try and remove it by having to start over. With the lighter hold sprays, you can still brush through the style and have the style mostly hold up.


Jessica Alba’s Long and Pretty Layered Soft Side Part Hairstyle

This longer style isn’t too much to handle but still has enough length to play with. The soft layers add body and shape to the style while the deeper side part sweetens the style up.
How To Style:
1. Blow dry with a large round brush after applying leave in conditioner and styling cream that contains heat protection.
2. Use a curling iron with a larger barrel to create vertical curls that flow away from your face.
3. Brush through the curls to soften them up, then use your fingers to recreate curls the desired thickness.
4. Spritz with finishing spray, but just a little bit!
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, heart, some square and round, long. Fine to thick density with smooth or wavy texture.
Tip: To keep that lustrous look to your hair, keep your haircuts the recommended 6 weeks apart and use good quality products specifically formulated for your hair type. Try Sebastian’s Drench Shampoo and Conditioner for really parched hair.


Fun Twisted Side Updos for 2012

A messy side bun is even more fun when you toss in a couple of twists for more drama. The brighter red is more work to maintain, but worth it in the long run. The end result looks fabulous!
How To Style:
1. Once hair has been dried, pull out a section of the hair from the front, to twist or braid.
2. Instead of a 3 part braid, you’re working with 2 pieces. One layer lays on top of the other while pulling in hair from the side to create the twist.
3. Secure with bobby pins when you get to the end, then separate out a section for the other part of the updo that’s twisted coming from the other side.
4. Clip the majority of the hair away while you work on the twist in the back.
5. After completing the twists, pull everything into a ponytail.
6. Twist the ends of the ponytail into a random bun and pin, leaving ends hanging out.
7. Hairspray your finished style with a firm hold hairspray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, some heart, round or long. Fine to thick density with a smoother texture.
Tip: Smooth hair when blow drying as opposed to the flat iron, since the flat iron can completely remove your natural volume and make your hair appear flat and lifeless. A flat iron on a low heat setting can still get the job done if you have to use one. It may take you a little longer but it won’t be as damaging to your hair. If you need a little extra straightening help while blow drying, use a product like Redken’s Power Tame 16 Intense Straightening Balm for Coarse Hair or their Velvet Gelatine 07 Cushioning Blow Dry Gel.


Short Bob with Longer Layers and Side Swept Bangs

This fresh take on a traditional bob is made more fun still by the wave going throughout the style and the deeply side swept bangs. The colors keep it youthful and the cut can be customized to suit any face shape.
How To Style:
1. Use your round brush for smoothing bangs and curling ends (use a medium or smaller round brush depending on your length). Make sure you’ve used a styling crème and heat protecting product before you blow it out!
2. If you have natural wave and want to use it, let the back air dry. If not, blow it dry and use a curling iron or flat iron to create your loose waves.
3. Add a little pomade to the ends to keep them separated and finishing hairspray if you need it.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any. Fine to medium density with some natural texture.
Tip: You may have some natural wave and not even know it. When you’ve towel dried your hair, instead of pulling a brush through it, try finger combing it then scrunching it back up again. Let it dry on its own and see what you’re left with. You may be surprised! Kenra makes a great curling cream (Kenra Curl Defining Cream) that coats your hair with specialized proteins to support curl and protect against frizz, so give that a shot before it dries.


Long Tight Curly Layered Hairstyle with Braids

Mix up the curls and braids for a fun look. Just a few braids is all it takes to spice things up a bit without losing your curls or the fabulous volume you’ve got going on. Don’t think you’ve got enough hair? Add extensions!

How To Style:
1. Prep hair with a styling lotion to add shine and help hold everything in place without having to use hairspray when you’re done.
2. Separate hair into slightly diagonal sections that you want braided. The photo has 5 rows, but you can change this depending on your hair and your needs.
3. Dutch braid (inside out French braid) each section by pulling pieces underneath instead of over the top.
4. You can secure the end of the braid with a small binder or sew it if you know how.
5. If you’ve already got the curls, just touch up the ones on the outside layer. If not, use a small set of perm rods or a small curling iron to curl the rest of the hair.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any face shape with medium to thick density and curly texture.
Tip: Use a good quality styling lotion, like Nexxus’ Versastyler Artistic Designing Lotion, when prepping your hair. It’s alcohol free and is really versatile, so you can use it regardless of the style you want to achieve.


1940s Old Hollywood Glamour Long Hairstyle

This gorgeous recreation of one of Hollywood history’s most beautiful hairstyles is so perfect with the multi tonal blondes but would be just as amazing with a darker brown or vibrant red. Even black! You can’t go wrong with this classic. Layering helps soften out the shape.

How To Style:
1. Blow dry hair to the touch, after applying a styling lotion, using a large round brush.
2. Part hair deeply to one side coming back toward the middle in a diagonal direction to create the most drama.
3. Use hot rollers to wrap up the ends of your hair or a curling iron and then pin up the curls using little clips.
4. Let hair cool/dry completely before removing curls.
5. Brush through with a natural bristle brush to smooth curls into defined waves and curls.
6. Mist with a finishing hairspray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Oval, square, round, long, heart. Fine to thick density with smooth or some natural texture.
Tip: When you’re recreating something classic, make sure you have the right tools for the job. If you need a quick lesson in how to use hot rollers (which direction to roll them, how to secure them to get the best curl, etc.), ask your stylist while you’re at the salon or you can check out tutorials on youtube. Try Babyliss Pro Ceramic Instant Heat rollers. Users give them 4 stars!
