Layers in wavy hair?

I have really wavy hair, and it's past my shoulders. I want layers in my hair, but i'm afraid that if i get it too short, it will be even "poofier". What should i do?

Layers are great for wavy hair. They lighten the load on the top and interior layers of your hair, resulting in a springier curl. And a few layers can diminish that triangular look that wavy/curly hair sometimes suffers from (i.e., flat on top, wide on the bottom).

A good stylist will help you determine what length to cut your layers. If you just want a bit of lightening and to add some shape, have longer layers added. If you want to add volume at the top of your head and liven up your curls a lot, then opt for shorter layers.

Because of your concern about "poofiness," I'd recommend you stick with longer layers (i.e., the last 3 inches of your hair).

All the best,
