Medium-length hair strikes a perfect balance—it’s long enough to flaunt but easy to manage. With so many styling possibilities, there’s a haircut for medium-length hair for every aesthetic and personal style. Ready to find your next favorite look? Warning: it will be hard to choose just one!
1. Medium Layered Hair With Curtain Bangs
Flowy, shoulder-length layers and face-framing curtain bangs work for every hair type and texture, and look gorgeous worn natural or styled. The versatility of this cut knows no bounds.
2. Choppy Textured Medium Cut
Trendy choppy styles are perfect if you’re looking to make thin or fine hair appear thicker. This cut is all about texture!
3. Feathered Layers
For those with thick hair who want manageability without making their hair look any less voluminous, soft layers that take off weight and bulk will do the trick.
4. Soft Face-Framing
Subtle, nearly imperceptible face-framing layers are great if you want some movement in your hair, but you’re not really into too-layered looks.
5. Curly Soft Shag
Well-cut curls have space to bloom, and this lovely curly soft shag is the perfect example. Lightweight and bouncy!
6. Butterfly Cut
Everyone’s favorite for the past couple of years, the butterfly cut is so popular because it’s so pretty and flattering. It’s at its bounciest when it ends around the shoulders, so it’s one of the best haircuts for medium length hair.
7. Wolf Cut
Cool and edgy, or soft and flowy—versatile enough to give you both of these options, the wolf cut is a trend that came to stay.
8. ’90s Layers
Old-school layers that taper from the chin downwards are back, thanks to the Rachel cut that blew up once again with the return of ’90s trends.
9. Shoulder-Length Blunt Cut
Classic and always on-trend, blunt-cut straight hair mixes polished and edgy vibes, especially when paired with full blunt bangs.
10. Medium Layered Hair With Wispy Bangs
It’s difficult to say if this cut with wispy long bangs and bouncy layers is more practical or beautiful.
11. Shoulder-Length Hair With Flipped-Out Ends
Celebrities are bringing back flipped-out ends to the red carpet, and we love it. This look works perfectly with medium-length hair—you can simply curl the ends out or ask your stylist to give you a cut that flips out on its own.
