Close-up portrait of a smiling woman showing off a fresh haircut of long, glossy dark brown hair with distinct face-framing layers and internal texturizing, expertly styled with a polished blowout at Sunday Salon in Raleigh.

Glossy Dark Haircut with Long Face-Framing Layers

A beautiful, healthy length paired with a natural, deep hue creates an effortlessly chic and timeless aesthetic. For this client, the objective was to retain her stunning ultra-long hair while introducing internal movement and removing heavy weight from the ends. The technique utilized seamless layering throughout the interior, paired with soft, subtle face-framing pieces to gently complement her features without drastically altering the overall silhouette. This careful texturizing ensures the deep, soft black tone doesn’t fall flat, but instead moves with a fluid, lightweight bounce that is beautifully highlighted by a smooth blowout.

This restorative and beautifully structured cut was designed by the talented Jess Mallard.
