Short Layered Hairstyles – Elegant and Chic. By combining long and short layers to provide a look that adds both volume and lift to any cut a gifted stylist can create a superb result. One of the most appealing aspects of short layered hairstyles is the way they bring an undoubted sense of sexiness and elegance to any shape of face. Of course, this takes some doing – especially if your standard style is of the longer variety – check out the number of high profile stars who embody the short layered look and you will see why it is a growing trend.

The concept is quite simple; the stylist cuts hair in a number of layers – the nearest to the crown being shorter than those underneath – and can finish the look with either a classic seamless look or one that clearly defines the layers for the more adventurous woman. Several very high profile stars have adopted this look, and with great effect.
