Medium hair gives you many styling possibilities. If you’re considering getting a new cut, be sure to discuss all of them with your stylist beforehand.
Pompadour Fade
Pompadours work well with any texture but especially shine when combined with a fade haircut. Ask your barber for a complex part fade to differentiate the top from the sides, and enjoy this effortless style that you can brush back quickly using your fingers or comb. Additionally, light hold gel can also be added for additional hold.
Taper Fade
A taper fade is an elegant finishing touch for any haircut, blending hair into the skin at the sideburn and neckline for a unifying effect. This style works exceptionally well when applied to curly locks for an easy and natural finish. For an elegant and chic style, pair your taper fade with a comb-over or quiff for an eye-catching combination.
Bro Flow
Flowy hairstyles add movement and texture to your look, and the Bro Flow haircut elevates this style. Perfect for men with medium-length hairstyles who favor faded undercuts or full fringes. Stick-straight men can still sport an elegant Bro Flow with regular appointments to their hairdresser to maintain shape. Furthermore, adding highlights can further accentuate this wavy look.
Layered Cut
Layer haircuts can be an ideal style choice for medium hair. Layer cuts emphasize natural textures to give it volume and body while adding movement and definition whether your locks are straight or curly. Choppy layers add extra character; discuss how choppy you want them with your stylist before going this route! Light blonde shades provide an air of freshness and femininity to face-framing layers, creating a feminine, fresh style.
Lob
The lob is an elegant, feminine style that works on all face shapes and hair textures, with minimal upkeep required – you can wear it wavy or smooth, depending on your desired type! Try a layered lob for added texture and volume, or opt for an ombre balayage finish for maximum impact! Request feathered layers be cut into a lob style for an ultra-feminine yet adaptable style that you can slick back or let fall naturally with long curtain bangs for Zendaya-esque effects.
Shoulder Length
Shoulder haircuts can be an ideal way to update their look without going too short. To add some fun, ask your stylist to add sparse bangs around your face; metallic bobby pins can then be used to form patterns (Xs, hearts) across your forehead for an eye-catching effect. Curly-haired women will love the angled shag as a trendy style that allows plenty of texture and movement, giving their thick coils a flattering shape while remaining light and airy. Try pairing it with a deep side part and an ash-blonde balayage to achieve stunningly glamorous effects!
