I have super long hair (its at the top of my butt) its all one length except for my side bangs which now reach my mouth. I initially started growing out my hair 4 years ago with the intention of donating. I've grown really attached to my hair and I'm not ready to chop it off yet. I am kinda tired of it being one length though. I kinda want some layers so my hair has some movement. but I also love doing braids and different updos (its become a hobby of learning 35+ types of braids) and I'm not sure if ill like hairs coming out of the braids because of the layers. I'm just so unsure!

I feel you.I have 30 inch (past my butt) hair and I have about 3 layers before my longest length. My rule of thumb, my layers should be at the:
1.bra strap
2. Waist
3. Small of your back
4. Longest length

I still have movement with layers but I still can braid my hair without it being annoying

I have hair to my butt and got it cut in the summer because I was tired of only having one length to it. The guy cut it into a v and added light layers and I love it because it now is light and less thick. Plus I can still do braids and iPods
