The Super Flattering Mid-Length Haircut

1. Curled Ends

There is something undeniably flirty about a blown-out style with curled-up ends. Pair this look with a headband to get on the trend that seems to be here for the long haul. Add a touch of shine spray for a silky smooth finish. We keep reaching for Bed Head by TIGI Headrush Shine Spray.

2. Tousled Waves

This length looks particularly cool when it’s tousled and undone. Use a hair wand to create light bends in your style and go product-free for a super natural look.

3. Sharp Edges

Wear it sleek and sharp with a bold red lip for extra edge. Prep your hair with Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Smooth & Shine Cream before you style for a truly sleek finish.

4. Soft Curls

Soft curls like these make this look romantic and effortlessly chic. Use a 1 1/2 inch curling iron to create curls on large sections of hair. Let them cool and then use a hairbrush to comb through them to soften the look.

5. Messy Curls

Balance a more formal look with a messier style. This length is ideal for that messy and undone finish. Use a curling iron to create curls throughout your hair and allow them to cool before breaking them up with your fingers. Finish with a heavy-handed mist of TRESemmé Dry Texture Finishing Spray to add texture and grit.

6. Air-Dried Curls

Type 2 waves to Type 3A curls can air-dry their ringlets to achieve a tousled, loosely textured look. We love this hairstyle paired with your fave off-day white tee and jeans for the ultimate in casual chic.
