Layered hairstyles are very popular and have been popular for some time. They can be done right on many different hair types.

What Are They?

They are hairstyles that cut the hair in different lengths around the head. Sometimes the length differences are subtle, giving the hair more direction; sometimes the look is a little more obvious. Layered hairstyles can be short or long in length. They give the hair direction and body.

They provide texture and volume to the hair.

Types

There are many types that are a very trendy look right now is the inverted bob hairstyle, where the back of the hair is shorter than the front of the hair. Another great layered look is the long bob. Layered hairstyles can range from very simple bangs with face framing layers, to spiky all over.

Lengths of layered hairstyles vary greatly they can be very short, chin length, shoulder length and longer. It all depends on a personal preference on how long the length of the layered hairstyles will be.

Not Right For Everyone

They are great for folks that have waves in their hair or straight hair. They are not so great for folks that have very curly hair; they tend to kink up curly hair and make it a bit unruly. Hair that is very thick can have some but usually adding more layers will just make the hair look bushy. They are ideal for thin hair; coarse hair does not work out so well with layers.

They usually require little care and can give hair a finished look even when little has been done to it. The look can be a bit of a shaggy sexy look or can be one of the silky shiny pin straight looks that have been popular recently.

Finding the perfect hairstyle is not as difficult as it may seem to some. You just need to consider what it is you want and what suits you best.

Before you embark on a new prom hairstyle, you should consider these things:

Your Hair Texture and Hair Length
- You must consider the texture and thickness of your hair. If you have long hair it's much easier to put in an updo hairstyle than short coarse hair. Although short coarse hair can be made into an updo style with tight twists that cascade upwards on the head then with the addition of some extensions or a hair piece for added length, can make for the perfect updo hairstye.
Now that extensions are so popular, anything goes. Consider Jessica Simpson and her $20,000 hair extensions. Although you don't have to spend that much for a similar look as Jessica, it is very feasible to do on a limited budget.
Your Face Shape - Collect lots of formal hair style pictures. It's especially good to find pictures of celebrities with the same face shape as you. What looks good on them may easily look just as good on you.
While making your collection of prom hair style pictures, you want to be sure to consider the shape of your face as well as the length of your hair. But don't do all of this along. A professional hairstylist can help you choose the right style. Show your stylist at least 3 pictures of what you like and they will most likely be able to make it a style suited just for you.

But don't forget to also consider the style of dress you will be wearing to prom. The style of your dress and your hairstyle can make a huge impact in your overall look.
