Thinking about options for medium layered haircuts? Every woman goes through the time when she can’t decide whether or not to let her hair grow long or get it short. That’s why medium length hairstyles are so popular right now. They still leave room for styling without the commitment to really long hair. And we all don’t have time to deal with the knots and tangles that are peculiar to longer hairstyles.
Short layered haircuts work well with fun streaks or highlights, but shoulder length layered haircuts are the best of both worlds. The good part about layered hairstyles is that they work for any face shape and hair texture.
Long layered haircuts are also quite in demand, but shoulder length haircuts are so versatile, especially with the additional color styling options such as ombre and balayage tones.
Your hairstylist will help you determine if longer or shorter layers are best for your hair texture. Also, layers can add volume to fine hair and extra bounce to curly or wavy hair. And the best part about layers is that you can always grow them out if you don’t like them.
That’s why medium layered haircuts are perfect: they are not as drastic as a shorter hairstyle! We put together a list of our favorite medium layered hairstyles for 2018. Choose the one that works best for your lifestyle! And don’t be afraid to experiment with different styling tools and coloring options such as bright ombre or subtle balayage. The sky’s the limit when it comes to unique hairstyles as pretty much anything goes in 2018!
