Blunt Lob
Ah, the lob — not a bob, and not much longer than chin length, this cut is chic and sophisticated. With blunt ends, it creates the illusion of having even more hair as any stringiness that might be seen at your ends is a thing of the past. Ask your stylist to cut shorter layers at top to create movement and volume.
Curly Long Layers
A medium-length haircut with long layers gives your hair the lift you need so that it can look more youthful and full, but you can take things even further by adding curls to your style. Curls are the epitome of carefree youth, plus they add density to your hair that makes it appear even fuller than it already is.
Flipped-out Ends
Reminiscent of retro ‘60s styles, a medium cut with flipped-out ends is playful and fun. You can create this flip using a round brush and blow dryer while styling your hair, or add hot rollers or heatless rollers to the ends of your hair. Layering it lightly also helps maintain a great shape that lends itself to this flip.
Fringe With Medium-Length Hair
What’s the most fool-proof way of adding a quick element of style to medium-length hair? Cut fringe! But before you take this leap, which will change your life, make sure you have a chat with your stylist about which type of fringe looks best on you. You may be a great candidate for wispy fringe, blunter, thick bangs, or curtain bangs.
Long Layers
When you want to keep it simple and not change up your hair too much, but still long for a style that looks polished, long layers are your go-to style. Cutting long layers into medium-length hair softens your cut (and your face), gives your hair volume and movement, and provides a perfect base for adding curls and waves. Ask your stylist to frame your face with layers to draw attention to your cheekbones and jawline.
Shag Haircut
The modern shag is a favorite now because it takes cool ‘70s vibes and gives them an edgy and flattering twist. This cut is mussy and effortless, with a slightly feathered top and sides. It will make you feel adventurous and maybe a little French.
Wavy Hair With Balayage
Anytime you add waves to your hair you feel like a mermaid or beach goddess. Up the ante and add waves AND lighter balayage pieces to create a beautiful effect that is also great for boosting thinning hair. Texture provides density and color (as opposed to one flat hair color) gives dimension to your strands.
