Medium hairstyles are some of the easiest to manage. They give women the versatility of long hair without spending all the time and effort to make hair look great.
Medium hairstyles are those that reach just below the ear to just below the shoulders. Let’s look at some popular medium styles of the moment.
the bob
The bob is a popular medium hairstyle that has been popular for many years. Call it the most timeless of medium haircuts. Perhaps the best aspect of the bob is that it can be somewhat short (chin length or even shorter) or it can be longer, reaching to the shoulders.
The bob usually includes bangs (and then a straight style to the shoulders or where the hair hangs), or it can be a single length. Sometimes hairdressers don’t give bangs, but instead frame the hair around the face instead of leaving it in one length.
The great aspect of the bob is its grace. It works with almost any face shape, but it looks particularly good on women with oval or round faces.
the fluff
The shag haircut has long been popular with women of all ages (but especially those in their 20s and 30s). If you think of Jennifer Aniston in “Friends” and her hairstyle that made her so popular, you’re imagining the fluff. Of course, the medium hair is shorter than Aniston’s hair, but the basic style is similar.
The shag takes a little more time and knowledge than the bob, but this style flatters most facial shapes (except maybe a long face) and can be very flattering. Women like it to look like they spent little time on it. This style is also versatile as there are no bangs and the hair is usually long enough to be put up in a ponytail or other styles.
the curly bob
This style is somewhat of a combination of a shag and a bob. It has some layers like a shag and yet the simple style of the bob. This style requires a large round brush to blow dry and then once it’s almost dry the ends are curled up (either with the large round brush or even a flat brush)
This style is not as versatile as the basic bun, because it will often include bangs and a few more layers. But if it can be styled in various ways and thanks to the layers, it can be styled for a curly look or it can be straightened.
We hope you have gotten a good idea of some popular medium hairstyles of the moment. You can grow your hair out in one of these styles, or you can cut it shorter for a true “medium cut.”
