Why Face-Framing Layers Are So Popular (and So Googled)

More and more clients are searching:

• “How to get curtain bangs for a round face”

• “Lived-in layers with extensions”

• “Best haircut for face shape Nashville”

• “Custom haircut near me”

This haircut trend is more than just cute — it’s strategic. It’s about flattering your cheekbones, jawline, and profile while blending seamlessly with the rest of your cut (and extensions, if you wear them!).

The Best Face-Framing Layers by Face Shape

Round Face

Your cheeks are full and your face is symmetrical. We want to elongate and define.

• Ideal look: Long, soft layers that start at the jaw

• Add a subtle curtain bang or center part to lengthen the face

• Pair it with a dimensional balayage or money piece highlight for a modern feel

Oval Face

This is the most versatile face shape — almost any layer works!

• Ideal look: Chin-to-collarbone-length layers for movement

• Try invisible layers for added bounce and blend with wefts or K-Tips seamlessly

• Want a little edge? Ask for textured curtain bangs

Square Face

Strong jawline? Let’s soften and shape.

• Ideal look: Diagonal or feathered layers starting below the cheekbone

• A soft side part or sweeping bang adds asymmetry

• This pairs beautifully with hand-painted highlights for depth

Heart-Shaped Face

Wider at the forehead and narrow at the chin.

• Ideal look: Chin-length layers to balance proportions

• Long curtain bangs soften the forehead and draw the eye down

• Bonus: Mesh integration or hybrid extensions blend beautifully here

Long or Rectangular Face

Your goal is to add width and softness.

• Ideal look: Mid-length face-framing layers that create body and dimension

• Add beach waves using Oribe’s Apres Beach for volume

• Combine with a subtle root shadow for extra lift

Extensions? No Problem — We Blend Beautifully

Whether you’re rocking:

• Covet & Mane Concealed Wefts

• K-Tip Extensions

• NBR or hybrid installs
