Voluminous Medium-Length Bob for Thinning Hair
Look 10 years younger with a voluminous medium-length bob for thinning hair. Cutting the length at the chin helps the hair density appear full and allows for layers to be added to get major height on top.

Medium Blowout with Caramel and Blonde Tones
If you want to warm up your medium-length hair before a blowout, try going with caramel and blonde tones. The warmer overall tone would make your hair much shinier. For the style, ask your stylist to use volume mousse and velcro rollers for a glamorous look.

Grey Balayage Makeover for Feathered Hair
Showcase the allure of silver with this stunning balayage transformation, perfect for women aged 40+. The seamless gradation from natural gray to lustrous silver lends a chic, feathered look that exudes confidence. A side-part adds elegance to the dynamic layers, creating a voluminous style that radiates sophistication while maintaining a playful edge.

Thick Curls with Highlights
If your hair is thick and curly, consider getting a shoulder-length cut and add highlights during your next salon visit. Highlights can brighten up your look and blend grey hairs to hide them. A shoulder-length cut can ease the weight off your curls, making them look more full and defined. Remember, curly hair can shrink because of its texture. So, tell your stylist to cut your hair to shoulder length in its dry state. This way, your hair won’t end up at chin length after drying.

#9 Soft Rounded Bob
A soft, rounded bob on medium-length hair is the perfect style if you’re looking to add body and volume. Haircuts with rounded shapes are easy to style with a blow dryer and round brush. The added volume around the base helps slim and elongate the face. Ask your stylist to point-cut the ends and use a razor to feather around the face.

Retro Shaggy Mullet
A retro shaggy mullet is insane! Try a shag cut if you’re looking to stand out in a crowd of thousands and bring back a decades-old style.

#6 Medium Brown Curly Hair
Try brown curly hair if you want to keep things subtle and timeless. Medium cuts on curly hair are perfect to help keep your unruly locks shaped up and easy to style. Add some layers to perfect the shape to what you desire.

Mid-Length Textured Hair
You can rock mid-length textured hair. Cut your length up and make your hair healthier and more stylish. Ask for medium layers and point cutting to create a funky shape. Don’t forget to leave the ends out when curling your style. You’ll want to apply some texture paste to bring those ends out.

Medium-Length Dark Red Straight Hair
This sleek and polished look exudes sleekness and adds class to any outfit. The dark red color adds depth and dimension to the hair, creating a striking visual appeal. This hairstyle is especially flattering for women with straight hair. It also allows for easy maintenance and styling. To enhance the sleekness of your hair, I recommend using a smoothing serum or oil before blow-drying. For an added touch of glam, you can also add soft waves with a curling iron or hot rollers.

Mid-Length Thick Curls
If you have a bend of texture in your hair from wavy to curly, your hair is more versatile than you see. Blown out with a round brush creates thick curls when you style it. And it can hold its style and last long periods between washes. My best advice is to add styling aids like blow-out jellies that support style and wear. Talking with a stylist who can create a styling routine for you is helpful.

Shoulder-Length Blonde Balayage with a Middle Part
Shoulder-length blonde balayage with a middle part is what you need if you’re looking for added depth and dimension to your tresses. A money piece, middle part, and soft face layers are the perfect trio to bring out all your beautiful features, giving you a natural bright glow.

Blonde Highlights on a Medium Cut
Consider blonde highlights on a medium cut if you want to add something jazzy. Highlights add depth and dimension to your underlying hair color, keeping your hairstyle from looking flat. Ask your stylist for a few highlights to add spice to your haircut.

Youthful-Looking Updo
Try a youthful-looking updo on medium hair for your next big event! You can achieve a soft, youthful updo even if you keep your hair at the shoulders. To get this style, ask your stylist for backcombing in the crown and a twist or a braid to pull back into a low bun. To keep it soft around the face, try leaving some face-framing pieces out and styling with a light hold spray.
