12. Blunt Cut
A blunt cut means the ends are all cut at one length, creating a really clean, sharp line. This haircut looks super sleek and polished. It works well on medium hair because it makes the ends look thicker. It’s a bold choice that always looks put together. Keep your ends looking sharp with regular trims and a good heat protectant if you style with hot tools.
11. Wavy Medium Cut
If you have natural waves, a medium haircut is perfect for enhancing them. A cut with minimal layers can let your waves shine. It’s all about letting your hair do its thing. This style feels so relaxed and natural. To style, try air drying with a wave-enhancing cream or use a diffuser on your blow dryer to encourage your natural texture.
10. Medium Hair with Face-Framing Layers
Face-framing layers are exactly what they sound like. Layers are cut around your face to highlight your features. They can be subtle or more dramatic. On medium hair, these layers add softness and shape. They really make your haircut feel more dynamic. To highlight them, use a curling iron or straightener to create soft bends away from your face.
9. Asymmetrical Medium Cut
Feeling a little daring? An asymmetrical medium cut is where one side is slightly or significantly longer than the other. It’s a bold statement that adds an edgy touch. This haircut is definitely a head-turner. To maintain the asymmetry, you’ll need regular trims. Styling can be fun, playing up the difference in lengths.
8. Medium Hair with Undercut
An undercut on medium hair is a hidden surprise! A section of hair underneath is cut very short or even shaved. You can wear your hair down to hide it or pull it up to show it off. It’s a cool way to add an edge without committing to a full short cut. Maintenance involves keeping the shaved section trimmed regularly.
7. Braided Medium Styles
Medium hair is fantastic for trying out different braids! From simple three-strand braids to more intricate styles like Dutch or French braids, medium length gives you enough hair to work with. Braids are perfect for keeping hair off your face and adding a pretty detail. A little texturizing spray can give your braids more grip and staying power.
6. Medium Cut with Deep Side Part
Changing your part can completely transform your look! A deep side part on medium hair adds instant volume and a touch of sophistication. It creates a nice sweep across the forehead. It’s a simple change that makes a big impact. To create a defined part, use a comb and maybe a little hairspray to keep it in place.
5. Medium Hair with Highlights
Highlights are a wonderful way to add dimension and brightness to medium haircuts. They catch the light and make your style pop. For spring, I love soft, sun-kissed highlights around the face and ends. It mimics how the sun naturally lightens hair. Choose highlights that complement your skin tone for the best effect.
4. Medium Length with Balayage
Balayage is a freehand highlighting technique that creates a soft, natural blend of color. It looks amazing on medium hair, giving it a lived-in, sun-kissed look. It’s lower maintenance than traditional highlights because the grow-out is softer. Balayage adds depth and movement to your haircut. To maintain it, use color-safe shampoo and conditioner.
