"For all of the long-haired girls who do not like to compromise on the length, these long layers and shape around the face is great to lighten up the hair for Summer," Thompson said. "Soft layers will give the have volume and movement, and the shaping around the face is important so that with the length, it doesn't look like the hair is dragging the face down. I like the way Selena's hair is styled in both of these pictures."
What to ask for at the salon: Request the length you desire and then layers that frame the face and accentuate your cheekbones. These pieces add extra volume and movement. "Shaping around the face is important so that with the length, it doesn't look like the hair is dragging the face down," she noted.
At-home styling tip: "Always use a moisturizing cream such as Oribe Supershine Moisture Creme before blow-drying," Thomson warned. "To wear the style straight, blow-dry the hair with a boar-bristle round brush to get the hair smooth and shiny. To get a wavy style, curl the hair with a curling wand, alternating which way the hair is wrapped around the iron."
