A haircut and styling on medium hair is versatile, offering a balance between ease of maintenance and styling options. Here's how it's typically approached:
Cutting:
Layered Cut: Layers are often added to medium-length hair to create movement and texture, making the hair appear fuller and less bulky.
Blunt or Angled Cut: A straight-across cut at the ends can add a sleek, modern touch, or an angled cut can create more dimension and flow.
Face-Framing Layers: Subtle layers around the face can help enhance facial features and soften the overall look.
Styling:
Blow-drying: A blow dryer, possibly with a round brush, is used to add volume at the roots and shape the hair for a polished, smooth look. It’s perfect for both sleek and bouncy styles.
Soft Waves: A curling iron or wand can create loose waves or soft curls, offering texture and volume. This is a popular, effortless look for medium hair.
Straightening: A flat iron is used to create a sleek look.
