Maybe you haven’t really tried wearing your hair up because you think it’s not long enough to look stylish. Well, I can assure you that you’re missing out! Medium-length hair is just right for pulling off versatile ponytails, braids, and buns.
You can use many of these styles to spice up your casual looks or work outfits, but also to steal the spotlight at birthdays, parties, or weddings. Here are 25 stunning updos for medium length hair.
1. Infinity Bun
This isn’t a bun you see everyday. It’s a chic hairstyle that elegantly accentuates your neck. I suggest you save this one for a special occasion!

Secure it with bobby pins and use a hair straightener to perfectly straighten a strand of hair that sticks out.
