Long • Low Maintenance

Long layers keep the hair below the collarbone and add face-framing pieces from the cheekbone plus long internal layers, so the hair moves instead of hanging in one block. The cut is also called long layered hair or face-framing layers. It needs a trim about every twelve weeks and styles in five to ten minutes.
