Freshen up your medium-length hair with these chic hairstyles

Medium-length hair, or shoulder-length hair, can sometimes feel like being the awkward middle child – it’s neither here nor there. This doesn’t mean you’ll be out of options when it comes to hair styling though, if you can braid short hair, styling medium-length hair would be a walk in the park.

You’ve seen this look all over TikTok and on every Gen Z beauty influencer, and we can see why! This look isn’t hard to achieve, and it looks polished. All you’ll need is a generous amount of hair oil and a toothbrush or edge brush to lay your edges down.

The hun
custom

A half-bun (or hun) is a great hairstyle for both work and play — keep it a little looser on the weekend, and neaten it up at the office.

Pins galore
custom

There’s no such thing as too many bobby pins. Similar to the hair style above, gather sections of hair at the front and secure with bobby pins in an orderly fashion.

Sleek bun
custom

Part hair into three sections – tie the middle section with a hair tie without pulling the ponytail fully out. Then, carefully sleek hair from the side, covering the hair tie and wrapping it around. Secure with bobby pins and do the same for the other hair section.

Flipped ponytail
custom

This one is super easy to achieve. Just tie hair into a ponytail, form a ‘hole’ above the hair tie and loop the rest of the ponytail back in.

The low up-do
custom

You can easily wear this to a wedding dinner or work event. Leave some pieces of fringe loose for a more casual, sophisticated vibe. But be sure to use a hair curler or iron to add some waves.

Nothing says classy like a chignon. Tie hair into a low pony tail, flip the ends back into the ponytail loop and secure with bobby pins.
