#1: Medium Chestnut Hair with French Curtain Bangs
For a gentle enhancement to medium-length hair, introduce texture throughout the ends. I also recommend a curtain bang with textured mini bangs that seamlessly blend into the framing pieces on the side. This style is ideal for those with a broad forehead and slim jaw. The volume a style can bring is what aids in balancing a slender jawline.

This shoulder-length wavy hairstyle features balayage highlights that add depth and dimension. A stylish deep side part enhances glamour and offers versatility to the look. Use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair healthy and shining. Make sure to apply a heat protectant spray before using any hot styling tools.
#4: Playful Beach Waves with Choppy Bangs
The best aspect of a medium shag is the texture of the fringe, which is styled into the ideal shape, allowing the client to achieve an edgy look with minimal effort. A medium-length haircut is particularly flattering for a heart-shaped or round-shaped face as it draws your attention to the eyes and diverts it from the chin and cheeks.

This easy-care hairstyle is suited for those with limited time for daily styling and offers versatility for both casual and formal occasions while maintaining a chic appearance.
#8: Gently Wavy Medium-Length Hair
Having blunt ends will make your tresses appear thicker. Adding a wave with a curling iron or utilizing your natural wave will create a beachy vibe that feels effortlessly stylish. If your curls seem too tight, use your fingers or a wide toothcomb to relax them.
#9: Effortless and Relaxed Curly Waves
Effortless and relaxed curly waves are all the rage. This hairstyle adds volume and movement while maintaining a laid-back and casual vibe. It works best for those with naturally curly or wavy hair, as the texture enhances the overall appeal of the look. Ask for tips on curl products you can use at home to showcase your natural curls!
#10: Textured Wavy Haircut with Character
Messy makes me think of a natural wavy look showcasing beautiful natural frizz. People often think they need to tame the frizz, but as a hair professional working with real-world clients, I see frizz as part of hair’s allure. I see it as a complete style, a disheveled yet gentle feminine wave. A little balm can enhance the curls and reduce some frizz, highlighting the hair’s natural body that we may enjoy.

#12: Silver Ash Waves
This semi-long wavy hairstyle is ideal for clients with healthy, unprocessed hair, dedication, and time. Upkeep is fairly simple as color conditioners can be applied to maintain shades.
#13: Beautiful Loose Waves
Wavy hair is stunning. Many people believe you can simply wake up and go if you have wavy hair, but that is often not the case. Maintaining your hair’s hydration and health requires a variety of products and time. One of the recommendations I give to my clients is to use a hydrating mask weekly. The mask will assist you in preserving your beautiful wave pattern.
#14: Wavy Curls
Wavy curls on mid-length hair present a stunning styling option for various occasions. Wavy curls provide flexibility. With slight adjustments, you can change the whole appearance. Brushing out the waves yields a more polished look, while tousling them gives a relaxed beachy vibe. Be sure to choose a product that caters to your specific hair texture. If you have fine hair, think about using a lighter product.
#15: Sleek Shoulder-Length Blunt Layers
This is a sleek, shoulder-length haircut with elongated, piecey layers. You achieve the impression of fullness at the ends with the blunt line, and the layers assist in preventing the shape from appearing like a “Christmas tree” (i.e., too wide at the bottom of the cut). I adore how this style looks fantastic with natural waves or straight hair. It’s incredibly adaptable.
#16: Wavy Angled Lob Haircut
A lob haircut with a wavy angle can embody contemporary flair, elegance, gentleness, femininity, and a touch of boldness. With its various shapes, lengths, and styles, a lob showcases adaptability in length, texture, and volume.

Curls are here to remain, particularly for those who prefer extra time to wash and style each day.

There’s no other choice but to highlight those stunning dark tresses, especially when they are natural. Soft waves significantly parted to one side create a flattering effect and beautifully complement that shoulder-length.
#19: Waves with a Center Part
Achieve beautiful waves with a center part! For those interested in trying this style, use a smaller curling tong and section your hair into one-inch pieces. Keep the curl secured for a few seconds before releasing. Opting for a tighter curl on the tong while choosing a wider barrel helps the wave to endure longer.
#20: Simplistic Textured Lob
Choose a simplistic textured lob. It’s a breeze to style, naturally flowing or wavy. This look flatters nearly every face shape due to the elongated lines in the front that accentuate the face. This layered haircut is versatile, accommodating both thick and fine hair types. The textured tips will enhance its movement significantly.

#30: Adaptable Lob
I adore this look more and more, and it primarily stems from the adaptability of the length and style. This style is adaptable. I prefer the wavy look because I love its texture and the light and flowy feel, but that’s not to say that straight won’t work either. Nothing says classy like sleek, sassy, and straight one-length hair.
#31: Textured Medium Cut with Playful Layers
A textured medium cut with playful layers is a fantastic choice for ladies with thick, medium-length hair looking for a contemporary, soft, wavy style. You can lessen the heaviness of your natural wave with a layered cut using a razor or shears for texture, adding movement to enhance your waves or complement a wavy curled style. If you want to emphasize your eyes or make your face appear smaller, consider a softly brushed bang that blends seamlessly into a gentle face frame.

Perfectly bouncy coils are trendy no matter how you style them.
#35: Chestnut Brown with Layered Texture
Wavy, medium-length hair is currently one of the most popular styles. This specific look features a long bob with lengthy textured layers. It can be tailored to suit all face shapes. For instance, consider adding face-framing to complement a long, narrow face. Conversely, if you have a round face, avoid framing the face. This style is excellent for the young girl wanting to stay trendy while keeping her hair up for sports. It’s also perfect for the busy mom juggling her kids daily but still wishing to look stylish for a night out.

What better way to showcase that vibrant blonde hair than by styling it into these stunning beachy waves? Observe how the texture begins at eye level and transitions seamlessly to the ends, making it a medium-length style that would complement oval faces beautifully.
#37: Wavy Hairstyles Featuring Sheer Fringe
Wavy styles with sheer fringe are perfect for those with wavy or curly hair. This look captures a contemporary yet refined atmosphere.
#38 Casual S-Wave
Choose a one-length lob styled into a casual S-wave. It possesses the sought-after “lived-in” appeal while remaining distinctive. The uneven waves capture your attention, giving an authentic touch to the style. For women with denser locks, request your stylist to eliminate some internal weight to lighten the appearance. For those with fine or thin hair, avoid layers, as it helps your hair appear pleasingly full at the ends.
#39: Choppy Ends with Red Wavy Hair
A medium-length style introduces texture and movement to hair that might appear dull otherwise. Framing the face with gentle, wispy bangs and textured mid-length layers truly enhances this look into a soft, feminine wave. Incorporate copper-red highlights into your dark locks for a striking yet understated change.
#40: Stunning Layered Hair
These waves and layers complement tan and warm skin tones exquisitely. Definitely a high fashion and stylish look for those seeking a fresh new style.
#41: Blonde Balayage Waves with a Side-Parted Long Bob
A transformation can either be subtle or make a bold statement. You have the choice to decide before visiting the salon. Searching for inspiration can be helpful. A side part could be an option. Or, if you’re looking for a blonde balayage or a long bob with waves to add that wow factor, the choices are plentiful.
#42: Shoulder-Length Hair with Face-Framing Layers
A great look is a shoulder-length hairstyle with face-framing pieces. For women with medium-length hair and an elongated face shape, I suggest opting for long curtain bangs that elegantly frame the cheekbones. Incorporating waves, or allowing natural waves to shine through, can provide texture and movement to the hair. The waves strike a harmonious balance without overwhelming the face shape, which should be avoided. I also recommend keeping hair length around the face.
#43: Curled Waves with a Middle Part
A stylish, wavy look featuring a middle part is extremely fashionable. If you have dimensional blonde hair color, curl your hair to highlight all the shades blended throughout. Incorporating volume into your style will complement longer face shapes and always curl away from the face.
#44: Wavy Blonde Layered Bob
This is a long layered bob with beautiful movement and texture. If you have very thick hair, this look works best with the blended layers starting in the mids and flowing through your ends. The layers are what maintain the flattering shape of the haircut.
#45: Rich Brown Textured Lob for Lush Hair
This is a beautifully textured lob, a style that has gained popularity recently! I appreciate this cut because it combines the best of both worlds. It is blunt enough to appear thick and voluminous, while the long layers provide a soft overall appearance and enhance the waves. This is an excellent cut for nearly any face shape, as the layering around the face can be adjusted to highlight individual features. It’s a perfect selection for anyone who prefers a mid-length low-maintenance style that can effortlessly be styled up or down.
#46: Radiant & Sophisticated Copper Red Waves
This style is radiant and sophisticated. My favorite aspect of this look is how it maintains a natural appearance, even with the vividness of the copper. Copper is an ideal shade for fair to medium skin tones. For those with darker skin tones, opt for a deeper and richer copper hue. I recommend Olaplex No.3 to maintain the color’s vibrancy, health, and shine.
#47: Shaggy Wavy Lob
Medium-length hair with fine texture can significantly benefit from razor-cut shaggy layers. These textured layers can enhance your hair’s natural waves and add volume at the crown. Face-framing layers will highlight your cheekbones. Depending on your mood and face shape, you can style this look with a middle or side part. I suggest using Hairstory Undressed and Powder for a full beachy appearance.
#48: Collarbone-Length Deep Black Waves
Collarbone-length deep black waves provide volume and depth. Dark hair can sometimes appear lifeless. Medium hairstyles with added beach waves or even a slight bend can impart movement to your locks. Hair at this length is sufficient to be styled up while not being too lengthy to feel burdensome. I recommend using a quality shine spray to highlight your texture.
#49: Contemporary Medium Haircut
Long bobs offer a wide range of styling possibilities. Many trends originate from this classic ombre fringe suitable for any hair type.
#50: Subtle Golden Blonde Balayage
I suggest a subtle golden blonde balayage if you’re craving blonde bombshell hair. For that salon-styled feel, you can style your long, lightened locks with a 1 1/4-inch curling iron at home. Remember your heat protectant!
