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,

Want to take the plunge...

I want to get rid of the triangular look my hair has with it being all one length. It's thick, frizzy and wavy, ends just below my shoulders and quite frankly looks a mess. Would layers help with taming the frizz? How many layers should I get? Also I have a round face, so could I still have layers without them making my face look rounder? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a complete novice when it comes to hair...thanks in advance :)

round face and layers

I have round face and long layers look great on my round face with wavy hair.
