These 31 Long, Layered Haircuts Are Giving Us Hair Envy

Ultra-long, Disney princess hair may be enticing, but waist-length doesn’t mean you’re confined to just one length. In fact, length often requires layers to eradicate any limpness that results from the weight of the hair. Think of it as scaffolding for any real style: Whether you like your layers choppy and textured or subtle and hidden, they might be all you need to breathe some new life—aka movement and dimension—into your hair.

But don’t just take it from us—celebs love long, layered haircuts, too. We’ve rounded up our favorite layered styles for a lengthy mane—not to mention, industry insight from hairstylists Marcus Francis and Anastasia Stylianou. These looks will inspire you to put away the scissors and grow out your tresses (or skip that part, and get extensions instead).
