Having medium length hair is great! It is usually easy to care for and maintain. However, it can sometimes be hard to style this type of haircut. Check out the best ways to style your medium length hair below!
Low Ponytail
A low ponytail is a sleek, classic look. The low ponytail allows you to keep your hair out of your face, but it can still be stylish. To pull off this look, gather your hair to the nape of your neck and secure it with a hair tie. For a more sophisticated look, lightly pull on the hair to soften it. You can even try pulling out a few strands of hair and curling them to create a softer, more elegant look. Once you have secured the ponytail, pull out a small strand of hair, wrap it around the hair tie, securing it place with a bobby pin or hairpin to hide the hair tie.
Side-Part
While parting your hair might not seem like a hairstyle, parting your hair in different ways can create very different looks. Instead of parting your hair in the middle of your head, try parting your hair to the side–the deeper the side part, the more dramatic the look. Straighten your hair when you style your hair with a side part to give a more sharp, dramatic look.
Braids
If you are going for a more youthful, athletic look, try braids! You can braid your medium length hair in many different ways. For a very youthful style, separate your hair into two sections and braid them into pigtails from the behind your ears, securing the braids with hair ties. For a more athletic look, separate your hair into two sections, put each section in a French braid, and secure each braid with a hair tie. If this is a little too complicated, you can simply put your hair into a single French braid.
Chignon
While a chignon sounds very fancy and sophisticated, it is essentially a bun at the nape of your neck. Like the low ponytail, a chignon is a great way to get the hair out of your face, but it is a little more formal. To create this hairstyle, gather your hair at the nape of your neck and use a hair tie, hairpins, or bobby pins to secure your hair into a bun. Gently pull at your hair to loosen it up for a softer look. You can even try pulling out a few strands of hair to frame your face.
Wavy Curls
Styling your medium length hair with wavy curls is a great way to change up your overall look! When you try out this style, use curling iron or curlers that are larger in diameter. Using a larger diameter curling iron will make your curls looks wavier and more natural. Remember, when you use any heat to style your hair, you should use a heat protectant to prevent damage to your hair. Styling your hair with wavy curls is a great style that you can use at the beginning of the week and incorporate it into the other styles mentioned above.
