Layers and bangs together on a lob is basically the full package, movement throughout the length and a soft frame around the face, all in one appointment. It’s more of a commitment than either element alone, but the payoff is a cut that feels completely finished.
Here are twelve ways I combine layers and bangs on a lob.
Curtain Bangs With Face-Framing Layers
These blend so seamlessly together that it’s hard to tell where the bangs end and the layers begin, which is exactly the point.
Full Bangs With Heavy Layers
A bolder combination, this pairs a full fringe with heavy layering throughout for maximum texture and movement.
Wispy Bangs With Subtle Layers
The softest version of this combination, ideal for fine hair that needs a gentle touch rather than heavy texturizing.
Side-Swept Bangs With Choppy Layers
An edgier pairing, choppy layers throughout give this combination more attitude than the softer bang and layer options.
Styling the Full Combination
A round brush blow-dry on the bangs first, then a loose wave through the layers, is the order of operations that gets this look right.
Maintaining Both Elements Together
Bang trims every three to four weeks and a full cut every eight to ten keeps this combination from growing out unevenly.
