Ponytail
The ponytail is an iconic hairstyle for mid-length hair that is easy and elegant, making an impressionful statement with your mid-length locks. Wearable for any occasion and suitable with various hair accessories (floral headbands or scarves are great additions), it makes a stunning impression when styled on wavy locks. Pair loose face-framing strands for a soft feminine finish!
Add an elegant, glamorous flair to the ponytail by adding a thin braid at its crown for added texture and interest – this can work as casual everyday wear or for more formal events such as prom night!

Lob
Try opting for a lob for an effortless style with minimal upkeep requirements. It features slightly longer than classic bob locks tucked behind your ears for added versatility and can work for all face shapes – jeans or formal evening attire!
Layers
Layers are an easy and stylish way to give mid-length hair women movement and style. Choose face-framing layers or soft side-swept bangs that reach to touch your eyebrows for an eye-catching look; wavy locks look fabulous when highlighted with balayage or baby lights, creating movement throughout.
Choppy layers are an increasingly popular trend that can be worn to fit various occasions – from casual to chic! Perfect for mid-length hair with waves or curls, and especially striking when highlighted with blonde highlights.
If you prefer more adventurous looks, consider trying out a tomboy shag style featuring wispy, uneven layers for texture and volume. It works exceptionally well on blonde shades but also other hues.
Balayage
Balayage is a hair-color technique that creates natural-looking sun-kissed highlights with soft transition lines between lighteners. This technique differs from both ombre and somber in that its hues are less defined than their counterparts and create less of an obvious transition point between lights and darks.
The style works on all lengths but is stunning on long, wavy, and curly locks. Additionally, this method offers a way to add color without covering all your locks at once, thus making it an excellent way to prolong the time between color appointments.
Wood notes that balayage highlights can last two or three times longer than traditional highlights and suggests using a sulfate-free shampoo and one of our purple reinforcing hair toners to ensure they maintain their fresh appearance.
Combover Lob
The combover lob is an adaptable cut suitable for medium hair of all colors. It makes an eye-catching statement with thick honey-blonde highlights or subtle ombre color fusion. Its chic style looks chic when worn with a deep side part!
This shoulder-grazing bob is ideal for women with naturally wavy or curly locks. Although slightly shorter than its classic bob counterpart, this look remains sleek and easy to style.
Enhance the round shape of this layered bob by adding caramel or chocolate balayage highlights, which emphasize strands closest to your face for an instantaneous volume boost. Pair it with a side-swept fringe to frame your face like Courteney Cox.
