Ways to Style Short Hair with Layers
If you have short hair, adding layers can soften a style that would otherwise be harsh and blunt by giving it more movement and structure.
Feathered Layers
For those of us with shorter hair, adding some short curled layers is another great fashion choice.
This looks great if you want to add some depth to your face, even if your hair is short. This is also a great choice for people who want to give their hair some depth without cutting it really short.
Long Layers
Jen Aniston, whose long, flowing layers have been the same for 20 years, is a great person to start with. Again, for straighter styles, you’ll need your blow dryer and a round brush to really make your layers stand out. You could also just use a blow dryer brush.

Inverted bobs
A bob cut upside down is the best way to frame your face because it has stacked layers in the back and longer strands in the front. To make the most of those angles, this style looks great with hair that is straight.
Always use a heat protectant on your hair if it’s not naturally straight. This will keep it healthy and make your style look full.
Shag Hairdo
This season, the shag haircut has been one of the hottest hairstyles, so if you want to look very modern, give it a try.
Also, if you already have a shag haircut or style, you may be thinking how to style it because the layers can make it more difficult.
Choppy bobs
If you don’t want to spend a lot of time styling your hair, choppy bobs are a popular way to wear short hair with layers. Choppy layers give your hair volume and movement right away, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time styling it.
If you want to give your textured style more body, spritz it with our Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray before blow-drying.
