Certainly, long layers are a great idea for thin hair, provided that it is done in such a way that the ends do not end up looking thinner than the roots. Many are concerned about layering being too much work, as it tends to take away bulk, but in actuality, it helps break down the heaviness and adds shape and volume to your locks. The key is to ask your stylist for long, subtle, and seamless layers rather than short, choppy ones. Internal layering or surface layers work best because they create lift at the crown and texture throughout the body without sacrificing the density at the bottom ends of your hair. For the best effect when styling layered hair to add volume, you need to use a volumizing product on wet hair and blow-dry by brushing back the layers with a round brush. You can also use a large-barrel curling rod to flick the ends of the layers slightly outward or inward, which creates a multi-dimensional silhouette that makes fine or thin hair look twice as thick as it actually is.
