A specific cut he speaks of is a bob with bangs.
It will further assert itself in the hairstyles that come to prominence in the next year.

The layers will allow for great fullness and texture to long hair.”
The long layers and face-framing angles will prevent hair from falling flat or looking dated.
Think of quintessential Jennifer Aniston long hair.
