Medium-length layered haircuts with bangs give women a fresh look that’s effortless to style. The length is versatile as you experience the perks of short and long tresses.
Stylist Greer Tepper of Columbia, MD, points out that mid-length locks can be simple to style. “If you let your natural texture do its thing, the medium layered chop will work perfectly,” she states.
Your lifestyle is one of the factors to consider before getting layers and a fringe.
Tepper explains, “Bangs can be a real annoyance if unprepared for them. They need styling every morning. Also, a medium cut doesn’t demand too many layers as it may appear less modern.”
Remember, you may not be able to pull all your hair up. If your daily activities require you to wear ponytails or buns, having medium-length hair isn’t ideal. Yet, you can do a quick low updo, for sure!
Consult your stylist to make sure you get the perfect length and style for your face shape. They know what to recommend to you.

And it allows definition to the varying layers of the hair.

Using your blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle, blow the air down your hair, not up, to reduce frizz. Avoid rolling your hair too much on the ends. You want a slight bend towards your face.

This is a great low-maintenance hair color recommended for women coloring their hair for the first time. If you need to color your roots to cover any grey hair, ask your hairdresser only to use a demi-permanent color. Permanent hair color will be tricky to remove later on down the road when you go to lighten it again, so it’s important only to color the top of your hair if you absolutely must.
