Medium wavy hairstyles are an excellent way to enhance your appearance. Numerous wavy hairstyles can be tailored for medium-length hair. Some of these laid-back hairdos can be effortlessly created without the need for hot tools, utilizing a few braids and rubber bands instead. No matter your preference, you’re bound to make an impression with one of these medium-length wavy hairstyles!
Glamorous Brunette Style for Thick Wavy Tresses
Relaxed waves provide fullness and body to delicate hair textures. This hairstyle is particularly flattering for heart-shaped faces. Ideal for fine hair, it’s advisable to use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to achieve immediate volume. Consider using Redken Body Full Instant Bodifier Volumizing Foam. This foam is effective on fine baby hair for sustained lift, nourishment, and radiance.
Retro Wavy Bob
Timeless elegance meets contemporary style in this wavy bob with vintage charm. This bob complements a variety of face shapes. It performs best with medium to thick hair—enhance the look with a dazzling barrette.
Radiant & Chic Copper Red Waves
This hairstyle is radiant and chic. My favorite aspect of this look is how it remains natural looking, even with the vibrancy of the copper. Copper is an ideal color for fair to medium skin tones. For deeper skin tones, opt for a richer and bolder copper shade. I recommend Olaplex No.3 to maintain the color’s vibrancy, health, and shine.
Textured Wavy Long Bob
Medium-length hair with fine texture can greatly benefit from razor-cut textured layers. These layers can enhance your hair’s natural wave and volume at the crown. Face-framing layers will accentuate your cheekbones. Depending on your mood and face shape, you can wear this style with a middle or side part. I suggest styling with Hairstory Undressed and Powder for a full beachy look.
Curled Waves with a Middle Part
A wavy style featuring a middle part is currently in vogue. If your hair showcases a dimensional blonde color, curling your hair will highlight the various shades blended throughout. Incorporating volume into your hairstyle will harmonize with longer face shapes and ensure curls are directed away from the face.
Classic Retro Waves
Unleash your inner screen goddess with this timeless ‘S’ wave style. This look is flattering for various face shapes. Best for medium to thick hair, this style shines with Davines Defining Glam Power Hair Spray. This exceptional and adaptable finishing spray shapes, defines, and secures any look.
Waves with a Center Part
Achieve beautiful waves with a center part! For those contemplating this look, style your hair using a smaller curling tong and section it into pieces about an inch wide. Keep the curl for a few seconds before releasing. Opting for tighter curls with the hair on the tong and a broader barrel helps the wave to endure longer.
Casual S-Wave
Choose a one-length lob styled into a casual S-wave. It boasts a desirable “lived-in” vibe while remaining distinctive. The varied waves draw attention, imparting an original touch to the style. For women with thicker hair, request your stylist to eliminate some internal volume to lighten the appearance. For those with fine or thin hair, avoid layers, as this helps maintain a nice, full look throughout the ends.
Barbie Beach Waves in Blonde
If you have naturally wavy hair or wish to add some texture to your straight locks, a Barbie-inspired blonde hairstyle with beach waves could be just what you need. A flatiron can be an effective tool for creating these waves. By using this technique, you can achieve sleek curls with soft ends. Don’t forget to finish with a light-hold spray!

Chic Textured Lob
Choose an chic textured lob. It’s easy to wear, whether styled straight or wavy. This look complements nearly every face shape due to the elongated lines in the front that frame the face beautifully. This layered cut also suits almost every hair type, from thick to fine. The texture at the ends provides plenty of movement.
Tousled Medium Hairstyle with Layered Texture
A tousled medium hairstyle with layered texture is a wonderful choice for ladies with thick, medium-length hair seeking a contemporary, soft, wavy look. You can minimize the weight 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 accentuate your eyes or create the illusion of a smaller face, consider a lightly brushed bang that seamlessly blends into a soft face frame.
Effortless and Untamed Curly Waves
Effortless and untamed curly waves are all the rage. This hairstyle adds volume and movement while maintaining a relaxed and casual vibe. It works best for those with naturally curly or wavy hair, as the texture adds to the overall appeal of the look. Ask for advice on curl products you can use at home to show off your natural curls!

Adaptable Lob
I adore this look more and more, and it primarily comes down to 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.
Moderately Wavy Medium-Length Hair
Having blunt ends will enhance the volume of your locks. Adding a wave with a curling iron or embracing your natural wave will create a beachy vibe that feels effortlessly stylish. If your curls appear too tight, use your fingers or a wide toothcomb to gently loosen them.
Stunning Loose Waves
Wavy hair is beautiful. Many people believe they can simply wake up and go if they have wavy hair, but that is usually not the reality. Keeping your hair well-hydrated and healthy requires a lot of products and effort. One of the recommendations I give to my clients is to use a hydrating mask weekly. This mask will assist you in preserving your stunning wave pattern.

Long and lean alternating waves create a stunning appearance for voluminous hair. This look is suitable for square, round, or oval face shapes. This style works best on thick hair. Add a few accent braids to elevate this look.

Hair that boasts dimension and curl possesses that captivating allure that individuals adore. It enhances their sense of beauty. This style can also be easily achieved on nearly any length. Curls are here to flourish, particularly for those who need extra time to wash and style each day.
Rich Brown Textured Lob for Voluminous Hair
This is a beautifully styled lob, a term that has gained popularity recently! I adore this haircut because it combines the best of both styles. It is substantial enough to appear thick and full, and the lengthy layers soften the overall appearance while highlighting the waves. This cut is suitable for nearly every face shape, as the layering around the face can be tailored to enhance individual features. It’s a perfect option for anyone who prefers a mid-length effortless style that can be effortlessly styled up or down.

Medium Brunette with Soft Curtain Bangs
For a subtle enhancement to medium-length hair, incorporate 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 wide forehead and narrow jaw. The volume a style can provide is what helps to balance a narrow jawline.
Textured Wavy Cut with a Casual Finish
Casual styles make me think of a natural wavy look that showcases lovely, effortless frizz. People often believe they need to smooth out the frizz, but as a hair professional working with real-world clients, I see frizz as a component of hair’s unique charm. I perceive it as an all-encompassing look, a tousled yet delicate feminine wave. A small amount of balm can accentuate the curls and minimize some frizz, emphasizing the hair’s natural movement that we can appreciate.

This style is perfect for the young girl who desires to be fashionable yet needs her hair secured for sports. Additionally, it’s perfect for moms on the go, allowing them to manage their kids while still looking stylish for a night out.

Collarbone-length dark jet black waves provide incredible volume and texture. Deep hues can sometimes appear flat.
