If you’ve been growing out your short locks and want a different style, try one of these mid-cut hairstyles! They are great ways to balance your face shape while showing off the texture of your locks. An oval-shaped face would benefit significantly from highlighting its jawline, with an effortless blow-dry style to complete the look. A blunt cut above the collarbone is low-maintenance and easy to style!
Long Layers
Long layers are an excellent solution for wavy hair because they add texture and volume and seamlessly blend in with long locks. In addition, these face-framing layers serve to emphasize features. For an elegant style, feathered layers may give your hair a swoopy shape, showcasing your color transition beautifully. Speak with your stylist about adding feathered layers for maximum impact! To achieve a charmingly adorable style, add pink highlights to your long layers for an eye-catching color trend that will stand out against dark locks and create a striking visual.
Middle-Part
A middle part is a timeless look that flatters most hair types and face shapes, as it emphasizes balance while maintaining symmetry between both sides of your parting. Furthermore, this style helps ensure there isn’t an imbalance when parting only one way. Try this classic look with a sleek bob or relaxed, beachy strand-out for an easygoing yet stylish look that makes an impressive statement at casual weekends or brunch with friends. Add playful highlights for added dimension. A deep middle part is an elegant style that will elevate any ensemble. To achieve it, use the end of a rat tail comb or a wide-tooth comb to draw a line down your hairline and then gently comb each side away from your face.
Elongated Layers
Long hair layers can help remove extra volume from thick locks and create a sleeker shape, making this an excellent option for women with naturally curly or wavy locks. However, be wary not to overdo it, as too many layers could make your waves appear overprocessed and heavy. This classic and polished look perfectly suits any face shape and hair color, providing a timeless style for all occasions. Your most extended layer should sit just beneath your eyebrows, while subsequent layers should taper off gradually until they end at or just below the jawline. Its timeless quality makes this style timeless as well. Add texture to your layered haircut by asking your stylist for feathered chunky layers, which resemble the feathers of birds and are particularly stunning when worn with long bangs.
Double Dutch Braids
Double Dutch braids are an elegant look that adds a sensuous touch to any hairstyle. Use high-quality volumizing spray or hairspray for long-term hold; this charming style looks fun for any special event or celebration! This chic and sophisticated style can be achieved on any length of hair – even short pixie bobs – making this an excellent way to keep your locks off your face while looking chic. To achieve this look, part your hair deep down the center using the sharp end of a rat tail comb and weave one of the sections into a Dutch braid to the nape of the neck. Repeat this process with both sections. Finally, pancaking both braids gives this style fullness and an appealing finished appearance.
Braided Hairstyles
No matter your desired look–from Alexa Chung-inspired sophistication to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley-esque lived-Inness–braids are an excellent addition to medium haircuts, adding texture while simultaneously sealing moisture for healthier locks. Try applying a texturizing product such as Garnier Fructis Beach Chic before braiding to prevent heavy strands from getting too weighty when braiding your hair. This will help reduce weight and give a more polished appearance. A modern take on the classic bob, this braided look is ideal for women with thick textures who want to add some edge to their appearance. For something subtler, double fishtail braids may provide more concealment for face-framing bangs that still need to be at their ideal length.
