Long layers on long hair were a palette cleanser of smooth, straight mono-length hair, thanks to the 90’s obsession with them. Today, however, we are slowly coming back to our love of layers. You can forget about the less-than-desirable mushroom shape that became so associated with 90’s celebrities because the new version is much subtler. The 2.0 version, on the other hand, is all about adding cool-girl texture and a little well-placed volume to your straight hair.

Here is a list of celebrity hairstyles that will make you rethink long layers.

Nicole Beharie-Curly Long Blunt Cut

A long blunt cut like Nicole Beharie’s, according to stylists, might be beneficial for curly or wavy hair types searching for a lot of control or for people who live in a humid environment (as the added weight helps manage the curls). Add shape to an overall simple haircut with a deep side part.

Jourdan Dunn-Sassy Wavy Short Bob

Jourdan Dunn’s short hair has been tapered to give it more structure, which we love. To achieve the appearance, have your hairdresser add longer, invisible layers above the jawline.

Melanie Fiona- Subtle Wavy Hair

Melanie Fiona’s ‘do tick all the criteria when it comes to a fantastic wave set that’s both effortless and rich in texture. Wrap one-inch pieces of hair around a 1.5-inch curling iron, starting at the root and working your way to the tip.

Alanna Arrington-Curly Hair

Oprah Winfrey- Layered Voluminous Hair

If you like wearing a lot of layers, you have something in common with Oprah Winfrey. This style is best fashioned with flips, movement, and loads of volume for persons with thick hair who prefer a short style. Short bob lengths can exaggerate round or large faces, but the shape can be adjusted with this volume, and the face appears smaller.

Alicia Keys- Shoulder Length Layered Curly Hair

If the notion of cutting your curls with scissors makes you nervous, consider Alicia Keys’ advice. Layers offer volume, definition, and texture, and curled bangs are always fashionable. Just don’t go overboard with the layers. If you don’t cut it visually and very slightly, you’ll end up with a mullet. Use a Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam to bring this hairstyle to life.

Halle Berry- Layered Blowout Hair

Gabrielle Union’s elegant bob is the stuff of hair dreams. Ask choppy layers for dimension and texture, and slick one side of the hair down with a mattifying pomade to achieve the look.

Jada Pinkett Smith’s imperfect bedhead is causing a lot of hair-spiration. Warm up some of your favorite styling hair cream between your fingers. Run it through the bottom half of your layers to achieve these tousled waves.

Taraji P. Henson- Asymmetrical Layered Bob

We love a low-maintenance bob with asymmetrical layers and a side shave, but how about a jaw-grazing bob with asymmetrical layers and a side shave? It progresses from practical to fashionable. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for Taraji P. Henson’s cut.

Zoe Saldana- Low Layered Ponytail

With this effortlessly put-together low ponytail, Zoe Saldana gives us some head-turning princess vibes. This is a terrific style for those growing out their hair or using finer hairs around the hairline. Curl random bits of your ponytail and leave a few face-framing layers out on display to achieve the look—and don’t forget to use a dry texture spray.

Jennifer Hudson’s Pixie Cut

Jennifer Hudson’s eye-catching pixie illustrates that even with ultra-short strands, layers are possible. Use a hair pomade to highlight the different lengths.

With this style, Vivica Fox taught us one thing. be bold and get your roots dark. Her nicely curled shoulder-length ‘do, which seems like it was created with a blow dryer and a wide round brush is one of our favorites.

Jordin Sparks- Voluminous Long Curly Layered Hair

Jordin Sparks’ thick, side-swept bangs and voluminous mane are everything but flat and lifeless, despite her long hair. Spray a medium-hold hairspray on your side bangs to keep them in place.

Robin Givens- Luscious Layered Hair

We can’t decide which of Robin Givens’ beautiful lashes, delicate highlights, or spiral waves we adore more. Request invisible layers and curl hair with a one-inch curling wand if you want to do it yourself.

Angela Bassett-Blunt Bob With Jagged Ends

Like Angela Bassett, spruce up your blunt bob with jagged edges. This looks great on most hair types, but it’s especially good on angular faces with good bone structure and petite features. The style is best achieved with a flat iron, which creates slight bends and kinks in the hair rather than making it totally straight.
