You can wear medium hairstyles in a number of ways, in a variety of shapes and styles including straight, wavy or curly. You can change them totally on the fly and they won't get in the way and spoil gowns with higher necks or collars. Shoulder length hairdos 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. Medium hairstyles vary from geometric shapes and defined lines, and we provide hair information including face shape and hair texture to help you find the perfect medium hairdo that will look on you best. Our medium hairstyles include straight, wavy and curly hairstyles.

Medium straight hairstyles can be worn as an everyday look at work, home, or play. These hairstyles consist of precision cuts, one length looks, varying layer cuts, and razor cuts. Layered and razor cuts will require some styling effort, whereas a one length look relies only on gravity to maintain the hairstyle's shape. Self styling for one length looks saves so much time. For medium styles, where the sides are to the shoulders, the hair can be pulled back for a sleek short appearance or to get it out of the way, or it can be put up to make the look more formal. This hair length is not too short or long!

Medium wavy hairstyles can vary from shoulder length graduated layers, to heavy one length looks, and even messy uniform layer cuts. When waves are natural or even artificial (permed hair), casual medium wavy hairsdos are quick and easy to create because the waves and cut determine the shape of the hair. Waves created with curling devices and heat appliances require more time and styling products for hold. The medium length of these hairstyles also enables you to pull/tie your hair back- getting it out of the way or dressing it up more formally.

Medium curly hairstyles are soft, natural and carefree, with plenty of body that fall into place on their own. Styling generally requires some product to keep the hair settled and styled. Curls have a soft look about them due to their curved nature and soft appearance to the eye.

So check out our hairstyles below to view yourself with these versatile Medium hairstyles!
