For the longest time, mid-length hair was just seen as a growing-out phase you had to endure until you either chopped off your hair again or grew it out completely. But in recent years, the medium-length cut, which falls between the tops of your shoulders just below your collarbones, has risen in popularity with hairstylists and celebs, thanks to the fact that it truly looks good on everyone, and because it’s so dang versatile.
So whether you're currently stuck in the mid-length phase or looking to cut your hair a bit shorter, rest assured: There are infinite cuts and styles you can try with it. Below, 15 of them to prove it.
To make your haircut appear less like you’re growing it out and more like an actual style, as seen on Lucy Hale, schedule trims every six weeks to keep your ends looking fresh and blunt (which, in turn, will help prevent breakage).
Blonde Curtain Banged Lob With Soft Undone Textured Waves And Dark Ash Shadow Roots
Having a moment this spring (lookin' at you, Karlie Kloss), and if you want to take the trend up a notch, ask your stylist to add some soft, textured bangs, like Tami Williams's, that fall over your eyebrows and frame your face.
With a mid-length cut like Vanessa Hudgens's, you can scoop your hair into an updo and still have some loose, face-framing pieces.
If your shorter pieces in the back aren't quite long enough for an ultra-high ponytail (sad times), wear half of it up, instead, like Jasmine Sanders.
Hairstyles That Will Make You Look Younger
Hairstylist Justine Marjan says mid-length cuts are the best for showing off your outfit, and a cool half-bun like Yara Shahidi's makes the look even more fashion forward.
Adding a little wave and texture to your cut will make your hair appear slightly shorter and more layered, without you actually having to cut it. Check out Lana Condor's win-win situation.
The only way possible to make a wet style look even cooler is to pair it with a shoulder-grazing cut. And with a length like Selena Gomez's, you don't need to worry about styling creams and oils ruining your top.
Great Updos For Medium Length Hair
Half-up doesn’t have to mean super high. Wear your half-pony low against the nape of your neck, like Olivia Holt's, for a totally different (yet just as cool) style.
Olivia Culpo's twist-and-pin look is an old favorite for growing out bangs. Swap out your plain bobby pins for trendy jeweled barrettes to make the style even more of a
Braids, while slightly trickier to create than ponytails, are still possible for shoulder-length hair. If Aimee Song's boho braids are your thing, create a tight braid then gently tug at your short layers and flyaways for a little added texture.
Easy Hairstyles For Short Hair To Try Out In 2023
Not a pro at styling your own hair? Anybody can snap a clip, and that’s all it takes to cop Kendall Jenner's nostalgic hairstyle on days when you have literally no idea how to style your short hair.
Tight ringlets can turn your lob into a bob real fast, but a few strokes of a paddle brush is all it takes to loosen the curl into Sophie Turner's soft, glam wave.
It’s amazing what a flick of a straightener can do for your overall hair vibe. Switch it up from your usual stick-straight style with Zoey Deutch's ‘60s look.

Have any of you seen me chatting about it on InstaStories?! It’s called Twist Me Pretty Braids and I’m soooo excited it’s finally out!!! I’ve been working on it since January and the publishing house I worked with let me have full control over the design and aesthetic so it’s totally my little baby! I’m so proud of it! It works hand in hand with my other books and none of the styles have been repeated. It’d make an amazing present/gift for Christmas for a sister or friend! Put it with a cute hairbrush, some of your favorite hairspray and bobby pins?! You can snag it on Amazon, it’s at Walmart, Target, in all bookstores and several boutique shops across the country so if you’re out and about, keep an eye out for it! I can’t wait for you guys to get your hands on it!!
If you end up getting a copy for Christmas, will you do me a huge favor and leave me a five star review on Amazon (if you feel it deserves it, of course!)?! Amazon is such a huge retailer for me and books sell when they have great reviews. I’d love you forever for taking the time!
For this style all you need to do is pin up a section of hair near the crown, make sure to leave some pieces out near your face, and secure in place with criss crossing bobby pins. // Thentake a small section of hair near the part on the thicker side and do three stitches of a dutch braid. // Then turn it intoa regular braid all the way down. // Once the braid reaches the back, you’re going to stretch it out and then wrap it over the bobby pins and secure on the other side with bobby pins.
Shoulder Length Hair
You’re going to put your hair back into a ponytail and then make a little hole with your fingers right above the elastic. //Then flip the hair up and down through that hole // If you have a little bit more length, take the ends and roll them through one more time. //Then use bobby pins to secure the roll and any pieces that fall out. // If you have super short hair, do this hairstyle as a half-up style instead!
Clip all your hair out of the way except a thin section from your part to your ear. // Divide the hair into three sections and begin a dutch braid. // When you get to the top of your ear just do a regular three strand braid all the way down and then holding the braid taught with one hand, you’re going to stretch the braid out so it looks a little more full. //Then tie off the braid with a clear elastic, wrap it around your hair line by your neck and secure with a bobby pin. // Then just lay the hair on top of the braid and you’re done! Make sure the other side has nice volume and you’ll have a nice flirty and edgy hairstyle!
I’m taking a small section, a few inches behind my bangs and securing it with an elastic. //Then you’re going to make a hole right above the elastic and flip the tail up and through. //Gather a new section of hair and repeat two more times. In the video I show you two ways to finish off this style!
Shaped Textured Bob With Dramatic Side Part And Wavy Curls
Take a small section from the very front, divide it into three and begin a french braid. //Braid it all the way backandtie off with a ponytail holder // Then you’re going to put criss crossing bobby pins behind the elastic to add more volume to the ponytail! You can alternatively use a small clip but I couldn’t find mine!
Gather the top layers of hair, smooth out any bubbles, and secure with a clear elastic // On your last pass through the elastic, loop the tail around so it’s now above the half bun. // Then take the tail and wrap it around the top of the bun, just keep wrapping until you’re out of hair, hold the ends in place with your thumb and secure with another clear elastic!!! //This is one of the cutest styles, super effortless and easy but it looks really pretty!!
This was one of my hairstyles that went viral back in 2012, anyone remember it?! It’s just as cute now as it was then!
Brunette Layered Blowout Bob With Face Framing Layers And Color Melt Balayage
Divide the hair into thirds and do three messy buns. //Because my hair is longer, I’m doing a true messy bun because I’ve gotta hide all that length. If you have shorter hair, just
