Longer than shoulder-length hair is an adaptable cut that works great for curly, wavy, and straight textures. This length creates volume and is perfect for ponytails, chignons, and updos.
Length:
Chin-length is considered short hair, while armpit-length or longer is classified as medium or long. This classic length can be styled in many ways, including modest ponytails or classic lob cuts.
Wavy Hair:
Wavy hair requires a longer length to remain manageable. This length provides volume and texture, especially when layers are added for extra volume and body. Wavy locks at this length can be styled to create a Disco-era silhouette or a side-swept bang for more versatility. Adding bangs or long layers can enhance the look.
Layers:
Layered styles are excellent for medium-length hair, especially those with naturally wavy locks. Layers around the face accentuate and soften natural waves while reducing volume. Long, rounded layers add a soft and feminine finish to face-framing locks. Choppy layers add movement and texture for an effortless yet stylish look.
Bangs:
Bangs can make a statement when styling shoulder-length hair. Full, straight-across bangs look stunning on all hair types and draw attention. Teasing them adds volume without overwhelming the look. Bangs frame the face and add style. Short charges can be balanced with mid-length layers for a feminine finish. Thick, straight strands can be styled with blunt bangs for a softened look.
Styling:
Shoulder-length hair is the perfect balance between short and long styles. It can be worn as a classic bob or a modernized lob. Natural-textured hair looks best with minimal layers and face-framing bangs. Adding light face-framing layers creates movement and volume. Wispy bangs are flattering on medium hair and can help minimize round or square faces. Medium-length haircuts are great for showcasing balayage highlights.
