The problem is not with those wanting layers (these styles can look very nice on medium to thick hair). The problem is with stylists who cannot maintain a layered style without adding additional layering each time.
There can be a problem with those who want to add length and keep the layering - depending on the thickness of the hair, you eventually run out of hair to layer and it gets thinner and thinner ending with the result we're discussing.

Yes Hal, I agree with you. I am reminded of Courtney Cox Arquette. Some 6 (?) years ago she had beautiful one-length long hair. Some here felt that it would look better if it were layered. Shortly thereafter (coincidence?) her hair was slightly layered. And it did look good. And then she gradually had more and more layering done, until it was so overly layered it looked, well, not so good (okay, IMO it was pretty bad). I was surprised to see recent video of CCA and her hair has grown out again and appears to be slightly layered - and it looks good again.

I agree with the others. I don't care for the excessive layers of hair either.
If a lady wears medium to long hair, it looks much better without the layers, for certain.

I just got back from a vacation in Toronto and there was a HUGE number of females with this look. Most were of orental decent but they were def not the only ones doing it.
Many were layered so much even dave decker would advise them to trim off inches and inches. I hope this trend doesn't last long!

Too many are going the way of over layering/texturizing mid to long styles. The result is thin flat looking styles and eventually much of the length being taken off to remedy the problem. I see it on the college campus all the time - layering, more layering, over layering, significant cut to get some body back in the style!

I agree with you Kramer fuller looks better. This thinning out thing has to go.

Robin Meade is a great topic for a hair forum. She has some of the best hair among all news babes. One of the looks that site left out was Robin with a ponytail. She wears her hair tied back a couple times a week. I think she looks adorable with it.
Personally, I liked her hair better before the bangs. Her bangs were really those side-swept ones like Jennifer Aniston had toward the end of "Friends." I didn't like those either. I didn't really see the point.
Anyway, when Robin went to the side-swept bangs, her hair looked a lot thinner than it had before the cut, leaving me to believe she got it thinned out at the same time. Why do women get their hair thinned out? One friend told me it takes her too long to dry after washing. Too bad she never asked me to help.

I try to watch Robin every chance I get. Has she curled her hair since the cut?
I, too, liked it better richer and fuller, but generally like straight hair better than curly. When she adds the ear tuck to this hairdo, it looks even less appealing.
I'd noticed the bangs earlier, but really didn't take note of the volume change until I saw those two pictures up there (which, I have to say, kind of make me laugh with the way she goes from smiling to a rather "are you serious?" expression, like it doesn't look at all how she wants it to). She didn't lose a lot of length, but it looks like she lost a ton of hair.
Well it's still long but the fullness is gone. Too bad.

The first is a lot better. By the way, I got some flak a while back, for having a title to a thread about Monica Bellucci, similar to this..."Monica Bellucci Bangs" ;;)))

I was keeping tabs on her caps from the last week or so and it looks like on one of the days she took a little length from the bangs and it was very slight. Then I checked and saw the pic in this post where they're much more pronounced. It looks ok since i'm a fan of bangs but I don't like the cut as much as when she went pretty short a few months back.
