"Regardless of your texture, more layers equal more volume," says Devin Toth, a stylist at Ted Gibson Salon. But once strands are long enough to reach down your back, no amount of layering can counteract the weight of all that hair. Check out these star styles that work.

Textured Pixie: Piecey cropped cuts like Halle Berry's, which is shorter on the sides and in the back, look more voluminous.

Angled Bob: This cut on January Jones gives the illusion of length in front but the shorter layers in back add height to your crown.

Long and Layered: Blended layers add body to the top and sides of Katie Holmes' shoulder-length cut.
