Whether it’s a mid-length cut, a long cut, face-framing layers will remain a favorite in 2022.

Layered face framing: why are layers part of the 2023 hair trends?

Cuts in which the hair is “layered” around the face are so popular because they suit all hair types and styling desires. They’re especially great for fine hair – they give a real boost of volume.

FACE FRAMING: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURTAINED BANGS AND A LAYERED CUT?

These looks are very similar and get confused more often than you think. When you ask your stylist for layers or curtain bangs, it’s important to know the difference in order to get the result you want. Often, women ask for bangs when they really mean face framing layers and end up with bangs that are shorter than expected – a real bummer if it doesn’t turn out as planned.

Curtain bangs are very popular right now. They are worn with a parting in the middle, with the bangs usually extending from the eyebrow to the cheekbones. It also gets longer as it falls from the eyebrow, creating a curtain effect.

The layers repeat this shape but are longer. This type of layered look is often chin length or longer and can usually be hidden behind the ear. Layers blend seamlessly into your look and do not appear to be fringed.

The gradations in the lengths bring movement to the hair and blend naturally with the rest of the hairstyle.

The layers also give a bob more dimension – a nice change from the straight style.
