In addition to movement, another benefit of this style is that it instantly defines your face and brings all the attention right to your cheekbones. "How the hair frames and hits your face can completely change your overall face shape," says Brown. "I love a layer that hits near the cheekbone to accentuate it." She recommends asking your stylist for slight layering around your face (just past the chin) to open up your face and add movement, as well as very light layering through the interior.

If you're currently growing out choppy layers, fear not, as you can transition to invisible ones; it's just going to take some time. Brown says to be patient, and under no circumstances let anyone add more layers. Instead, she suggests wearing your hair up or wavy to hide the layers, and get a trim every three to four months to clean the ends. She also says to have your stylist cut out only weight, not length. In no time you'll have the face-framing, shaggy layers of your dreams. Consider yourself an honorary It girl.
