In addition to reducing weight, layering your hair can also help you achieve a voluminous, swooshy hairstyle. You don't have to compromise on length if you don't want to.

Overall, layers are conveniently versatile enough for you to pull a sleek hairstyle like a ponytail without the obvious look of having layers.

Additionally, trimming your hair in layers can also help shape your face and make your features shine, depending on how you get your layers done.

If you aim to have invisible layers, they're quite easy to style without much additional effort. Because the hair is cut in a tapered way that causes the strands to flow seamlessly into each other, whether you wash your hair and then choose to blow-dry it or leave it to air dry, it should mostly fall into place.

Disconnected layers, on the other hand, are a lot less subtle. Models at the Prada spring/summer 2021 show wore their hair in this hard chopped single-layer line around the cheekbones.
