Cute Layered Shoulder Length Hair Cuts For Teens

Know what will suit her lifestyle before she cuts her hair off.


When it's time for your teen to shed her long little girl locks and opt for a more grown-up hair style, you'll have no problem finding a cute and modern cut. Keep in mind her activities, personality and lifestyle; a teen who's active in sports may want to keep her hair long enough for a ponytail during practice, while a shy girl may not have the confidence for a very short haircut. Choose a cut that reflects her character and flatters her face shape.


Razored Bob


Ask your stylist to use a razor to create an angular, textured effect on the bob.


She may like the edgy, youthful take on the classic shoulder length bob. This haircut is done with a razor and includes layering to frame the face. Far from the conservative bob that turns under at the ends, this style was popularized by actresses such as Jennifer Aniston, and boasts plenty of texture and body. Ask the stylist to angle the length forward toward the jaw for swingy movement in the cut unless your teen wants to wear a ponytail.


Shag


She'll find this low-maintenance layered look versatile for styling. Characterized by fuller layers on top, the modern shag is a tousled style that frees curls and waves from being weighed down. Your teen will be happy that she can still clip her hair up off her neck thanks to the length or even pull it up into a roughed-up french twist. With plenty of layers to play with, she'll enjoy using jeweled hairpins or clips to change up her style. To maintain the tousled look, she'll need mousse for volume and light control instead of hairspray.


Undercut


Ask your stylist about mousse or styling cream to maintain the undercut coiffure.


If your teen's hair is straight, she may like an undercut. Your stylist will slice in shorter layers underneath in the back to add swing and movement to a sleek, smooth haircut. She'll love the playful flair the undercut adds to an otherwise simple, shiny blunt cut. This strategic layering also increases the body and volume, making hair appear thicker. Use mousse or styling cream to keep this sleek, modern style at its best.


Sideswept Bangs


Start with sideswept bangs if your teen is timid about adding layers.


Refine her blunt cut style with some layered sideswept bangs to flatter any face shape. Sideswept bangs add interest and volume to the haircut and draw attention to your teen's beautiful eyes. If she's anxious about going layered all over, start with the sideswept bang to see how she likes it; the addition of those face framing layers make her hairstyle more elegant and eye-catching.
