  • Try a straight and sleek or curly and wavy look.  Medium-length can also be worn straight and sleek; or maybe wavy and curly to lend some variation to your looks.  If the hair on the nape is allowed to grow longer, you can use gel to create a short ponytail; with combs used for great effects by putting the hair off the face and up to the side with a clasp.
  • Great formal looks.   Some women think that it is difficult to achieve a formal look.  Although the classic up-do may not be recommended unless an extension is added, a great formal look is achievable by pulling back into a low bun, accented by a fringe or side-swept bangs.
  • Fun and carefree look.  If you want to create a fun, laid-back surfer girl look, you can make temporary curls by simply twisting and pinning into tiny rolls until hair has dried, then apply a small amount of styling hairspray.
And here are some very important tips to bring out the best in your medium length hairstyle and make you more stunning:
  • Shampoo and use conditioner regularly.Add volume to give your hair a personality of its own.
  • Use hair products that can help add extra texture and shine since medium length hairstyle looks even more fantastic with a lot of volume and bounce.

  • Get a trim every 4-6 weeks.
Medium-length hairstyles may be easy to maintain but once the layers grow longer, the style can look more unkempt.  It usually takes about eight weeks for the style to still look good without any trimming done.  To keep your style looking great, anticipate and get a quick trim more frequently.
