Medium hair is a lovely texture that offers many styling possibilities. Whether you want something casual and cute or more formal for special events, black hair has something perfect.
Braids
Braids can add texture and shine to your locks for an instantaneous boost in style! Choose either loose fishtail braids, or clip them at the back of your head for a sleek and sophisticated finish. Braids are an excellent way to add height and balance your frame when styling medium hair, as they work to counterbalance its length and make you appear taller.
Furthermore, they pair perfectly with any type of ombre style hair coloring from subtle changes like blonde-brunette to more vibrant transitions like green-blue. Braids are one of the easiest styles to wear. There are various techniques and styles you can try, from skinny accent plaits and bantu knots, to keeping your hair back and adding waves for a sophisticated look – making braids ideal for wearing when going out with your friends or attending formal events.
Curls
Curly hairstyles for medium length hair can be both playful and flattering, flattering all facial structures. For optimal results with voluminous curls, ask your stylist to utilize the Deva Cut technique that creates lightness and volume while simultaneously keeping locks healthy. Selecting sulfate-free shampoos and products will also help your curls remain bouncy all day long!
Tight curls are an ideal black hairstyle for medium length hair because they don’t weigh your strands down while still offering plenty of bounce. A zig-zagged curtain bang adds sophistication when worn alongside tight curls for an elegant finish. If you aren’t quite ready to embrace full bangs yet, try pinning up your hair into a twisted scrunchie – it’s easy and looks great for any event! Additionally, elevate the style further by adding beads and jewelry accessories such as bracelets for an eye-catching twist.
Layers
Layers can help highlight your natural texture in an undone style and are especially ideal for medium length hair to add dimension and take the bulk out of thick locks. Choose between an array of layer styles ranging from angled shag cuts to blunt point cut bobs that work with any color option!
If your hair is lighter in hue, consider long face framing layers to highlight your chin and jaw line. This style also works well when combined with dark red hues as seen here. Donning bright colors to give your new style an upbeat vibe is easy. Pink can be an ideal hue to keep things casual and fun; this black hairstyle for medium hair works beautifully on its own or as part of a school event outfit, not to mention being great summer hair style inspiration.
Ponytails
Ponytails are an elegant way to display feminine and sophisticated style, whether your natural hair is natural or artificial extensions have wavy sections, creating the ideal face-framing effect while adding softness and romance. Wavy ponytails look especially stunning.
Add braids for an eye-catching and creative ponytail style, perfect for black women with medium length hair looking to switch things up! Braids add texture, character, and dimension that is sure to turn heads at any event! This look stands out at any gathering.
Ponytails with flipped ends can create a chic and sophisticated look, perfect for special events or formal affairs. This style also works great on those with fine or thin hair as it helps thicken it up visually and give an illusion of thicker and fuller locks. Complete this look by accessorizing with stylish barrettes, hair scarves or other trendy pieces to complete it and add some flair!
