Face framing highlights can add dimension and vibrance without over-emphasizing your look, while being much lower maintenance than an all-out ombre or balayage colour change.
Request that your stylist trim soft wispy face-framing strands for a more dimensional and flattering style, similar to Suki Waterhouse. This can add texture and volume, which are two factors Suki often boasts about.
Layers
Face framing layers are an adaptable hair cut suitable for all hair types and lengths, including curlier textures. Your stylist can begin them at either cheekbones, temples, or lower to create cascading effects; depending on the desired look of your client they may be blunted out using point cutting, slide cutting, or other specialized techniques.
Wavy hair lends itself perfectly for face-framing layers when worn light and airy. To keep their waves looking vibrant and full of body, suggest that they use a volumizing spray prior to blow-drying.
Layered hair can be enhanced for dramatic effect with lowlights and color melting techniques such as the ombre technique of blending darker strands with lighter ones to form an gradual transition of hues, creating rich, three-dimensional layers around your face reminiscent of those worn by Gigi Hadid’s silver blonde face-framing bangs, an example of such effect.
Wispy Bangs
Wispy bangs offer delicate texture without being heavy on your face frame, making them the ideal choice for medium straight hair and all facial structures. If your curls or waves have natural waves or coils that you would like highlighted and added a feminine flair to your style. Try layered light hair styles with wispy fringe as a stylish solution.
If your strands are looking a little rough around the edges, try adding a dry texturizing spray like Oribe’s ($49) that can tame flyaways and create a fresh yet textured style.
Heart-shaped faces feature wider foreheads and narrower chins, so to achieve balance it is wise to choose long strands that fall over the eyes for a balanced appearance.

Long Bangs
Long layered hair with bangs is in high demand because it’s fashionable and practical. Face-framing layers can easily be styled side-swept or with wispy fringe for a look that requires little maintenance or styling time.
