Try These Easy Hairstyles for Medium Hair
1. Pin-straight Medium Hair
If you want to keep your hair sleek, use a flat iron to straighten it. Spray heat protectant on your hair first, then blow dry before you iron to protect your tresses from heat damage. This look is perfect for when you want to rock the corporate chic look, nail that presentation, and impress your client.

2. Messy Medium Bob
Say goodbye to flat and lifeless hair by creating a textured ‘do. For this hairstyle, imperfections are welcome. You can simply brush or finger-comb your hair to get rid of tangles. Then, spritz hair wax or texturizing spray, and scrunch to style hair and distribute the product evenly. If you have bangs, blow dry them so they stay in good shape all day long, but leave the rest of your hair as is.
3. Bouncy Shoulder-length Hair
Blessed with natural waves? Good for you! You can simply let your shoulder-length or medium hair down and let it bounce as you move. If you have straight hair, however, make it wavy if you want to add volume and bounce. You can create a tousled hairstyle by putting small sections of your hair into buns and pinning them. Once your hair has dried, unpin all the sections, and you get wavy hair. You can also use a blow dryer to make waves.
