Formal Medium Hairstyles

A formal medium hairstyle can be described as tailored, structured, elegant and grand looking. It's the kind of hairstyle you'd wear to a formal occasion such as a wedding, prom, the Academy Awards, or any important function that requires dressing up. These hairstyles vary from soft layered looks to one length cuts; from smooth flicks to pulled back half up styles. Shapes can vary depending on the hair cut and styling technique of the day.

Depending on the texture and desired result, a whole range of styling products and aids are used; for example, hair rollers, curling tongs, ceramic irons, pins, and clips. Styling time varies from 30 to 90 minutes.

Formal medium hairstyles are great because they're not too long, meaning they won't get in the way and spoil gowns with higher necks or collars. Medium hairstyles are also just long enough to pop up in a bun or a twist, without your hairstylist trying to work out what to do with any excess hair (as is the case with long hairstyles).
