How to Style Mid-Long Hair

Medium-length hair is versatile and chic, from classic Hollywood side bangs to chignons. This in-between cut offers many styling possibilities that complement all facial structures.

Try something bold this season

Try something bold this season, like pastel pink hair color to compliment your complexion, or showcase feminine style with half-up space buns for an eye-catching look. A color gradient can also work great when styling long tresses.

Color Gradient

Evoke the sun-lightened ends of a mermaid for an enchanting yet low-maintenance mermaid effect. Ask your stylist for internal layers that keep strands flowing smoothly while making the middle of your shaft even fuller and fuller. This shoulder-length layered haircut is excellent for thick tresses, adding dimension while offering sleek finishes.

Sweeping Faux-Bangs for Effortless Style

If you prefer a quick, effortless style, this look will have all eyes on you. The sweeping faux-bangs create a beachy aesthetic and draw all eyes towards you. Jourdan Dunn’s signature ombre makes an eye-catching statement no matter the occasion. The lighter hue at her ends visually lengthens and slims her jawline.

Color Blocking

Color blocking is an exciting way to add depth and dimension to your look. This technique involves coloring large sections of hair a different shade than its rest and using this as an opportunity for creative expression with your stylist. Make an appointment and bring an image along for reference before beginning, whether full-head blocking or subtle highlights in certain sections. Whatever your decisionis, just bring an example so your stylist knows exactly what your vision is from the outset.

Duo-Tone Color Blocking for an Adventurous Look

If you’re feeling adventurous, why not experiment with duo-tone color blocking? Try using warm tones like red or orange to contrast your blond base and cool hues like purple or green to highlight your strands.

Pink Blonde with Orange Streaks

Add some color with bright pink highlights! When styling blonde hair color, vibrant pink highlights can add an exciting and eye-catching twist. Choose a tone that works for your skin’s undertone and highlight texture; chunky chunks work best against your blonde base, while thinner ones provide more excellent options to experiment. Strawberry pink highlights add an eye-catching brightness to dark blonde locks, providing a splash of color without overwhelming their style. They pair particularly well with warm blonde tones on this extended layered bob cut. Apply a high contrast money piece highlight to give your hair an eye-catching, vibrant appearance. This style works exceptionally well on girls with shorter locks as it emphasizes face-framing strands that frame your face more radiantly. To maintain this bold hue, avoid washing more than twice weekly and use a shampoo without sulfates as much as possible.

Pink Hipster Haircut for a Rebellious Look

Pink hairstyles can unleash your inner rebel. Create the Zayn Malik look by sporting short, buzzed locks in a pastel hue with short, buzzed sides, or opt for more extreme pink twists (a la Machine Gun Kelly) for an ultra-rebellious rock star vibe. To create a practical yet subtle change, opt for a pink balayage fade, seamlessly transitioning from natural colors to soft pink shades, creating an eye-catching shade that perfectly compliments Asian skin tones. If you’re ready to experiment, add pink streaks to your current hairstyle for an eye-catching splash of color. This trendy style works well with any haircut – especially those featuring textured or spiked textures.

Electric Blue Haircut for a Standout Look

If you want to stand out, consider wearing dark blue hair on long locks that will grab attention. Add magenta highlights for extra brightness! Medium-length locks work perfectly for this look, but even shorter pieces can benefit from this daring style with thin bangs and layers for the best result. If your emo style still needs to be ready for an all-over blue hue, opt for an ombre shade with subtle darker patches instead. This beautiful hue lets you show off your vibrant personality without looking gothic. Be sure to use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo, and conditioner after every wash for optimal results and to protect the health of your dye job.
