We're Calling It Now: These Will Be the 10 Hottest Haircuts of 2016!

What do Rachel Bilson, Emma Stone, and Cameron Diaz all have in common? Layers. Alvarez breaks it down.

What to ask your stylist for: Visible layers. First, figure out how high you want the first layer to be. The most universally flattering layers begin right below the jawline. But these are not the layers of the '90s "Rachel" cut, as these are choppier and less unified.

At-home styling tip: Rub a small amount of wax between your fingers and work it through the ends of your hair while twisting slightly to accentuate the layers. This lifts the ends to enhance the appearance. If you want a fuller look, add more wax and scrunch the ends upward.
