For those who have shorter layers around the face...

[UrbanEast]

How long are your shortest layers? And how much hair is in that front fringe? Pictures would be really helpful.

My shortest layer in front is APL, but I feel like it does nothing for my face. I'm considering cutting that front layer to SL (so it would be at chin when curly) but I'm always nervous about this stuff!

Pictures of my layers are in my blog, right now my shortest is neck length. I love face framing ones, they give my hair style while it grows out. Plus they are great for holding waves

I have face-framing fringe. The shortest part is just below nose length, but it curls/waves to shorter. Here's a picture:

Good luck!

My shortest one is cut chin-length when wet, which is about lip-length when dry :) I love them.

Mine is chinlength, but I'm trying to grow it out. I think something at chinlength or higher is great to frame your face.

shortest layer in back is just past shoulder and in the front nearly APL and fringe is just a tad below chin, will probably keep the side fringe the rest im growing out

I have bangs which are about eyebrow length, but I am thinking about growing them out to be more of a fringe. I am starting to like the softer look more now, and it's nice to have a face frame when your hair is up. Here's a pic of me now...
