Editor’s tip: Believe it or not, wavy medium bob haircuts hold better when you spritz them with a creation hairspray. We particularly like the VO5 Wave Creation Hairspray, which will give your mane hold and a natural-looking finish.
3. Sleek mid-length bob
A medium-length bob that’s been styled to sleek perfection, just like Hailey Baldwin has here, makes this otherwise casual hairstyle all the more fashion-forward.
Favoured by the Kardashian-clan and the runways alike, this blunt-cut bob is perfect for ladies who are looking to create the illusion of fuller-looking locks.
4. A-line cut bob
When you get bored of a blunt cut, you can easily add a directional edge to your medium-length bob hairstyle by opting for an A-line cut, (a la Jessica Szohr).
This high-impact cut exudes a tonne of fierce feminine vibes, plus helps soften out an angular face shapes. Aren’t medium bob haircuts super fun?
5. Medium shag hairstyle
Simply adding in some feathery bangs to an otherwise simple medium bob hairstyle will instantly give your locks a mega-dose of ’70s charm. But the best thing? As your locks grow out, your hair will look even better.
