What can I do with medium length hair?

Straighten it

This is the simplest type of hairstyle for any hair length. Sleek and straight is a go-to hairstyle for a lot of ladies. Especially when it is parted in the middle.

Put it in a bun

Buns are always a good idea. Some ladies might think that shorter hair doesn’t really allow for a bun, but that is not true. There are so many variations. Try a low bun, or let half your hair down and tie the other half in a high bun. The possibilities are endless.

Textured waves

Medium hair looks amazing when done in waves.

Low ponytail

Even if it is very short, textured ponytails come in handy when you want to gather all your hair. Add a nice accessory for an even better look.

Braided updo

Braids are timeless. Try them on your medium length hair and you will fall in love with the look.

Low chignon

This is a very stylish and easy to do hairstyle, which will be a great accessory to any business casual outfit.

Textured waves are a trendy and modern look

How do you do a medium length chignon?

  1. Using a comb part your hair down the middle and gather it at the nape of your neck.
  2. Twist your hair from the nape of the neck to the end, then start coiling it in counter clockwise direction.
  3. Twist your hair into a bun using your index finger to keep it in place.
  4. Secure each side of the bun with bobby pins and loosen the edges to achieve the desired look.

Yes. As a matter of fact, they are actually preferred for thin hair. The tresses, which vary in length create the illusion of fuller hair. Which is why, if you have this problem you should definitely consider a layered cut.
