Looking for new long layered hairstyles or an updated hairstyle for long hair? Check out these gorgeous hair styling techniques for long hair. Long layers have been the most requested cuts in the past few years. Layers remove just the right amount of weight to give the hair movement, without making the ends look over-layered and straggly. Layered hairstyles typically look great on all face shapes and, depending on how they are styled, they could flatter some face shapes more than others. Layered hair is also a great styling technique for making thin hair look much fuller.

#1 Long Natural Layered

This look was created by Josh Nichols, owner and stylist of Kink and Notch salons. Here’s what he had to say about it:
