This shoulder-length layered cut balances straight texture with golden brown subtle highlights for natural dimension. Long bangs soften the oval face shape, while medium volume layers create light movement without overpowering the sleekness. Perfect for those wanting a refined and modern look, the style works well in professional environments or elegant social settings. Blow-drying with a flat brush enhances the smooth finish.

Stylist's Tip

Smooth hair with a lightweight serum before blow-drying to maintain shine and control flyaways.
