Hair Inspiration: Long Layers

I've been getting a lot of compliments on my hair lately (not bragging, it's true!), mostly because it's been getting very long and because length brings out the natural full, slightly wavy texture of my hair. I'm ready for a haircut, though, my layers have grown out and I've fallen head over heels for Keira Knightley's current hairstyle. She's been looking friggin amazing during her current press tour and she's giving me major hair-envy. I mean, just look at this babe. 

 Uhm, YES to whatever she's selling. I browsed the internet for some more long layer inspiration, and these are some of my favourites. I like my shortest layers in the front to be about chin length, because that's flattering and because that means you can still tuck your hair behind your ears. I've thought this through, yo.

Most of the time, this style is shown on wavy hair, but Jennifer Aniston's picture shows off this cut most clearly: light layers starting at chin length. Not too choppy, because that looks super dated to me. As much as I love Keira Knightley's hair, Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes is the uncrowned queen of the rockstar long layers. Check this girl out.

I don't know if I want my ends as feathered as hers, but she looks SO good. I always love her hair.

I know that long hair isn't "in" right now (it's allll about medium length hair), but my long locks make me very happy and I've learned from my mistakes, like cutting off my hair into a mega trendy lob (long bob) on a whim last year. Never again. From now on, I'm not making drastic decisions like that without letting it sit for a while. Look at me, ma, I have impulse control!

Do you have some hair inspiration or a future haircut you feel like sharing?
