If you have been invited to a formal event, wearing your hair loose and long can be just as beautiful as an updo – and a lot simpler too! Blowdry your hair with a round brush and curl where necessary. Don’t forget to accessorize with bold earrings and pair your hair with a strapless gown to draw more attention to your gorgeous layers.
Long layered hairstyles with bangs are now in great demand. Why? Everyone wants a flattering hairstyle that’s also trendy, effortless-looking and convenient. Layers make long hair more manageable and eliminate the irritating factor of longer strands getting in the way or falling into your face. Cutting bangs flattering your face shape is an excellent way to finish off the look.
Long layers and bangs are not all alike, and you should try different textures and types of bangs to find your most flattering and easy to manage options. Discover trendy ideas for long hairstyles with layers and bangs. Whether you prefer wavy or straight styling, shaggy or sleek texture, balayage or single tone color, there will be an inspirational idea for you on the list!

A feathered look on long layered hair is always classy. With heavy body on top and thinned out ends, this mane has plenty of dimension. If ash blonde isn’t your color, go for caramel or champagne to complement your skin tone. You’re sure to stun.
Shoulder length hair can also benefit from layers, as is exemplified by the photo below. If your hair is thinner, then layers can add texture and style. Long bangs that graze past the eyebrows soften the entire look of Taylor Swift.

This choppy shag with fringe is oozing major flirty vibes. Midshaft waves add to the dimension created by the balayage and give plenty of beauty for admirers to ogle at.

Bangs don’t have to dust your eyebrows, especially if you’re nervous to try them out for the first time. Layered bangs at the chin length are great for hairstyles in transition. Long hair with side bangs is perfectly proportional for a feathery cut.
@northernlightsthesalon
Long layered hair is beautiful on its own, but long layers with bangs? Even better. There’re several options. Popular now baby bangs, wispy choppy bangs, and blunt asymmetrical or straight across the eyes bangs to complete this beautiful long cut.
@styledby_stacy
V-cut layers are for the bombshell in all of us! If you frequently blow out your hair, a v-cut is perfect for adding movement to your already gorgeously tousled locks. For this look, bangs with long hair should be a bit longer to appropriately blend in with the length of your locks.
@chairs_hairdesign
Face framing bangs are everyone’s best friend. If you have thick hair, go for a style with side bangs, and they will work with your cut to give you a flattering look no one can resist. Bonus: highlights make sure your hair packs a punch.
@stylistmadishka
Wispy bangs look incredibly hot when paired with long blonde hair. Arrange your locks in messy waves to achieve this sexy undone style. To keep your hair off the face, make a high messy pony — it will look equally hot!
@hirohair
If you have long fine hair, you can’t go wrong with layers and wispy bangs. This combo is the best option if you seek to inject volume and texture into your straight fine tresses.
@accomando
Who says that bangs and layers have to be blunt? Rock a flattering A-silhouette to give hair movement and break up a longer face shape.
@nicolasfloreshair
We love the way these curtain bangs integrate with long feathered layers. This gorgeous ’70s style looks particularly good on blonde hair.
@atelier_vernackt
To make your long thick hair more manageable, consider a layered cut. Long curtain bangs will make your long straight hair look more interesting: they will open your face and help highlight your best features.
@the.lv.stylist
Let us be the first to declare: long layered haircuts with long bangs are back! This sexy shaggy hairstyle with texture all over is bringing the style back. With bounce and fullness at their max, you’ll be running your fingers through your hair every now and then.
@salsalhair
Spice up your long layers with a fringe. Bangs don’t have to be dramatic and can be subtly cut to frame your face, starting at the cheekbones.
@robynwalldoesitall
Layered hair and parted bangs go together like two peas in a pod. Do a dramatic smokey eye for a night look or sport those fun sunglasses at the beach to complete the look.
@touchiebeauty
If you’ve got long and thick hair, then peek-a-boo bangs were made for you! Long layers with bangs gain instant sex appeal when swept to the side. Make sure your stylist keeps the length of the bangs long, preferably starting your fringe at the chin.
@mandies86
A long layered haircut with bangs is an effortless way to wear your beautiful hair undone. Pull it up into a quick updo whenever you need a put-together look.
@willallenhair
The different levels of length within this long hair with bangs help to make it versatile and fit your personality. Out running errands? Pull hair into a pony and let bangs be a little messy!
@ryennesnow.hair
It goes without saying that thin bangs are the best type of bangs for thin hair. In this very case, they also help to hide a prominent forehead, doing a perfect balancing job.
@salt_andwaves
Sweeping bangs are ideal for layered hair as they keep the entire look quite seamless and natural. Thick hair can handle the style best as you’ll need some volume for back-up.
@andoresalon
Spice up your long layers with a fringe. Bangs don’t have to be dramatic and can be subtly cut to frame your face, starting at the cheekbones.
@mane_ivy
Do you have curly or textured hair? Swept bangs with a side part will suit the natural movement of your locks (or even if you love curling your hair with an iron). Straight across bangs can work if you also curl them under for long hairstyles with bangs, but soft curls look best with a fringe that touches the tops of your cheekbones.
@karlavarleyhairartist
This coif is a perfect example of how properly placed highlights make a cut stand out. These undone layers and fringe are super sultry on their own, but the strategically placed caramel color shows off the various layers and texture and adds movement.
@singi.vo
We love long hairstyles with bangs that let the body do the talking. When wavy hair is amped up with maximum texture, cute bangs like these are a sweet finishing touch. Make sure to keep them on the thinner side so they can just graze your gorgeous eyes.
@brit_bellasalonandboutique
Looking to add some interest to your layered, shaggy hairstyle? Longer curtain bangs parted down the middle are the best solution. They are the easiest to style and seamlessly blend with the rest of your waves, with no need to use tons of styling products.
@leventkilic0
These beautiful voluminous bangs make a great match for brown wavy hair, adding youthfulness and movement to the look. Don’t forget to stock up on your tried-and-true styling products to keep your side bangs in place at all times!
@hirohair
The long layered hair with bangs swept to the side is giving us major Marissa Cooper, The OC vibes. Incorporating highlights will show off your layers even more. Bonus: when you put your hair up, the uneven pieces will fall in a flattering way around your face.
@linzphair
Just because you have luscious long locks doesn’t mean you have to curl them. Long, layered bangs haircuts can be just as striking when left sleek and straight, and especially when upgraded by a cool color.
@maxwellmathson
Add instant dimension to a longer face shape with rounded layers that sweep away from your face. This style is ideal if you’re craving to try one of today’s trendy layered haircuts with bangs without having to cover your forehead.
@anthonyholguin
If you crave changes but aren’t ready to say goodbye to your long tresses, consider subtle layers starting just above the ends. This way, you’ll get a new shape and added volume without compromising on length. For a more dramatic look, cut subtle curtain bangs — they’ll help you transform any updo or pony into a super hot hairstyle.
@hair.by.daniellaa
Looking to add some interest to your longer-layered shag hair style? Cut a cute fringe and part it as you will – longer bangs can be swept to the side or parted down the middle, lending an air of nostalgia to a more modern style.
@g_deodato
Thick, center-parted bangs perfectly blend with luscious long hair. Combined with balayage, they help balance out square face shapes and draw attention to your eyes.
@aerielengland
Center parted, wispy bangs come to save the day if you have a high forehead. They perfectly balance the square face shape, covering the sides of the forehead, while beige highlights accentuate beautiful facial features and add volume and depth.
@aerielengland
It’s amazing how chopped ends instantly lend a fresh vibe to a lob. The sliced layers and bangs to match give off a modern yet relaxed attitude. Whether your hair is beachy blonde or a rich chocolate brown, a choppy lob is ideal for any stylish babe who wants that textured length but also some fresh bangs!
@hairthrone
Though these layered bangs are long, they look weightless thanks to the texturizing cut and balayage color. The coloring creates the appearance of a two-tiered fringe that can be your special personal detail.
@hairbykayleighelizabeth
Looking for a low-maintenance alternative to blunt bangs? Consider short curtain bangs! They can ultimately juice up your long layered hair without you having to plug in your hair straightener every morning.
@hirohair
Channel style icon Brigitte Bardot with this updated version of her look. Thick bangs with voluminous layers round-brushed or curled into a big, bouncy coif are the ultimate in sexy bang hairstyles. Pair with a solid black color for a rocker-chic vibe.
@soraverly
This brown soft ombre boasts shaggy layers throughout and extra long light bangs that you may want to pin up or to the side when doing any sort of activity. You’ll also easily braid them into a crown or milkmaid braid updo, or wear freely hanging and carelessly twirled by the wind.
@salsalhair
Layered bangs are a great option for women with thick hair. Instead of a traditional fringe that risks falling too heavy and uneven, a layered technique will lighten the load, allowing the bangs to lie softly in place.
@parrucchieridelcorso
The chic deep mahogany color calls for chic bangs. If you love your locks smooth and glossy, go for thick choppy bangs. Apart from looking really feminine and sleek, this fringe does a great job balancing the face shape.
@alex_saadallah
Cutting your longer face-framing layers into bangs helps open your face and accentuate your eyes. Short curtain bangs blend exceptionally well with long layers and beautifully flatter elongated face shapes.
@jrodbeauty
While blunt bangs are typically chosen to complement straight hair, they go well with wavy layers, too. Your blunt fringe will surely turn heads if you make your waves a bit messy.
@hirohair
Layered hair with feathered ends and highlights couldn’t be any prettier. If the look you’re going for this summer is fun and flirty, feathered is for you. With face framing bangs to accentuate your eyes, there’s no doubt you’ll be the one to notice.
@cee_squard
Front bangs are for the beauties who want to draw attention to their eyes! Don’t worry about keeping things perfect, messy is better here! You can ease up the transition from longer locks to a short crop of bangs by keeping some pieces along the sides of your face chin-length and shorter. Dust off the look with some light brown balayage and keep things fresh and just a little sexy.
@anhcotran
Sometimes when you hear “long layers with bangs”, it might not sound like such an exciting hairstyle, but if you use this layered haircut with a side fringe as a reference, you may feel differently. With soft, side bangs and golden blonde hair color being the first things which catch the eye, this long look also includes tiered layers that both flatter and frame the face.
@salondeana
Layered hair with side bangs looks even more gorgeous with a dramatic side part. The extra volume on top not only adds dimension, but the appearance of thicker hair as well. Let the ends curl on their own or use a curling iron to top off the look.
@sainasarafian
Arched straight bangs could be your secret weapon in showing off your eyes and cheekbones. Play peek-a-boo with fringe that’s on the thin side or pick a thick blunt bang for maximum drama. The feathered ends hold all the texture you need for this simple stunner.
@timduenashair

Add in lowlights, highlights and multiple dimensions of blonde when you’re striving to get a beautiful new look to otherwise humdrum hair. Shoulder length hair will look especially lovely with various hues, located in whatever sections you wish.

As women grow older, the variety of hairstyles becomes more limited. With layers, you have many more options, including light curls in shoulder length styles. Add some bangs to keep your face looking youthful.

Long layered haircuts are stylish, versatile and a lot of fun to show off. Next time you head off to the salon, consider adding some long layers to update your current style.
