Medium-length locks offer the best of both worlds when styling shoulder-grazing locks – low maintenance of short hairstyles, while longer styles like ponytails or top knots provide versatility and options. Wavy locks that fall to the shoulders pair nicely with soft layers and face-framing bangs while adding dimension through techniques such as ombre and balayage color techniques.
Asymmetric A-Shape Haircut
Asymmetric haircuts look stunning on all hair lengths, from short pixie cuts to long wavy bobs. For medium hair length, try a layered asymmetric bob with full bangs like actress Tyra Banks’ for maximum height and a soft element of imbalance that’s stylish and attractive. If you’re new to asymmetry, try something more subdued, like Lucy Hale’s side-swept asymmetric pixie cut with longer strands on one side for added contrast and texture, while shorter sides create a clean finish. Asymmetric hair looks even more striking with vibrant colors, such as this honey-blonde asymmetric pixie with its subtle lavender tint.
Asymmetric Bob
Asymmetric bobs can look gorgeous on straight hair and curly locks; asymmetrical cuts show off more volume than any other style! This stunning example features one side that falls just past the ear, accompanied by face-framing tendrils to accent its elegance. Discover your ideal look by experimenting with various lengths for your asymmetrical bob. A concise side paired with an eyelash-length long side or vice versa would do. This model used a simple trick to make her asymmetrical bob appear shorter and more asymmetrical, as well as choosing an eye-catching shade of silver, which is trending right now!
Asymmetric Layers
Asymmetric layers add texture and interest to medium-length hairstyles, whether feminine or more daring and dramatic. This style works particularly well on straight locks but can incorporate waves or curls for added dimension. Create an off-center radial parting and divide your hair into sections to achieve this look. Cut the area closest to the exit before overdirecting the other teams toward it. This style can be worn with jeans or sweaters and makes an excellent casual option for events and dates. The asymmetric hemline draws the eye to your face while easily styling with various accessories.
Asymmetric Curls
For an eye-catching yet feminine look, opt for an asymmetrical short wavy or curly hairstyle like that seen here on the model above. This example is perfect for showing how playing with opposing concepts doesn’t compromise balance – its even weight from top to bottom helps soften her jawline while providing some visual relief from stress. If you need more time to prepare for an asymmetrical cut, ask your stylist to create an elegant face-framing side part like Sandra Oh did here. Her long strands on the right were strategically pinned shorter than her left, creating a chic and timeless style perfect for an evening out.
Asymmetric Bangs
An asymmetrical bob with long side bangs embodies sleek sophistication. Actress Kimberly Caldwell wears hers perfectly, leaving longer strands on one side and shorter on the other for an on-trend look that exudes cuteness and drama. This hairstyle works for all face shapes and ages; for an added dose of drama, opt for dark shades such as blue or grey for added impact. Nothing shows off an elegant asymmetrical pixie cut like pairing it with a choppy style. Style it with a temple shave for a fashion-forward look sure to attract attention; this style looks especially great on those with wavy or curly locks.
Asymmetric Knots
The Four-in-Hand knot is an easy-to-learn knot that makes for excellent everyday wear. Perfect for multiple shirt collar styles, the Four-in-Hand looks best with narrow ties.
The Persian (also known as Senneh) knot can be found in rugs from Iran, Central Asia, India, China, and Egypt. It stands out from traditional Turkish knots by looping only around one warp yarn instead of both; additionally, it can be opened either left or right for more fluid and curvilinear designs.
The Jufti asymmetrical knot is another popular style used in Turkish rugs and allows for denser knotting, often featuring bold geometric designs with straight or diagonal lines.
