Pixie

• The pixie cut is one of the best hairstyles to show off choppy layers. With this style, the hair is cut shorter in back with a bit of length and layers in the front. Seen on celebrities such as Keira Knightley in recent years, the choppy layers in this look add volume to the top of the head and create face-framing layers around the top of the hairline and in the bangs area.
  
  

Longer, Choppy Bob

• For those who prefer to keep a little bit of length in their hairstyles, a shoulder- skimming, medium-length bob is a great way to pull off choppy layers. This look works well with straighter hair and looks perfect with a side swept bang. The layers in this style are sharp and add a bit of volume and dimension without making hair fuller or wild-looking.
  
  

The Shag

• Made famous by stylist to the stars, Sally Hershberger, the shag has been seen on every celebrity from Meg Ryan to Joan Jett. This look is one of the most infamous for showcasing choppy layers and focuses most of its look around the face. Shorter in the front and layered in the back, the look adds texture and works well with straight hair. Most of the weight of the hair sits on the crown of the head and the cut relies heavily on face-framing, uneven layers.
  
  

The New Bob

• While the classic bob has been a go-to cut for decades, the newer, edgier bob incorporates a rocker look and uses choppy layers, side swept bangs and angular dimensions. The one constant about the classic bob is that is has a softer feel to it, but this new version of the bob relies on hard, sharp layers and a razor cut to give a sleek look to straightened hair or a wild look to wavy/curly hair.
