These 15 medium length hairstyles are easy and super flattering

The best part is that you don’t have to be a professional hairstylist to get the A-list effect. There are countless examples of medium length hairstyles that are both easy and flattering. (Trust us – the two can coexist.) But you may need some proof to believe it. That’s where we come in. Keep scrolling to see 15 of our favorite easy hairstyles for medium length hair. These are sure to broaden your hair horizons.

1. Flip the ends

Updos have been popular for some time now and show no signs of stopping. That’s probably because they’re so flattering and easy to achieve. Learn how to give this vintage hairstyle a new look with advice from a professional stylist. Tip: Flat irons are involved.

2. Back Style

There are a few things that will never change. One of them is that we will always love slicked-back hairstyles. To recreate Kourtney Kardashian’s look, we’ll use styling products, strong hold hairspray and our hands – no damaging heating tools required.
3. Curly knots

And there you have it – the selfie the world loves. In this photo, Zendaya’s makeup is not only flawless, but so is her curly headpiece. Before putting her hair up with an elastic band, use a moisture-boosting, curl-setting styling cream to enhance the natural texture.
4. Old Hollywood Waves

Okay, the Old Hollywood Wave may be the most difficult of all the hairstyles on this list, but don’t despair. If you have curlers, bobby pins and a brush, this style is totally doable. (We also recommend using a classic red lipstick, but that’s just us.)
5. The Y2K-inspired high bun

Dua Lipa is known for her love of the Y2K style, and this bun fits the bill. The key to achieving this look is to leave most of your hair out of the bun to finish off your face. Straighten the parts so they look sharp and structured, and don’t forget to use heat protectant.
6. Center part of the wave

This foolproof style is very easy to replicate. Be sure to use a texturizing spray to give definition and volume to your hair so your strands will look like Laura Harrier did.
7. Weave the front piece

Hailey Bieber’s weave front piece gives you the opportunity to embrace the natural texture of your hair, whatever it may be. Simply use a comb to cut two small strands of hair on either side of your face, braid them, and secure with a clear rubber band. Voila, style complete.
8. 60s-style ponytail

If the flipped hairstyle is morphed with a classic ponytail, this is the result. We love the volume and lift and high shine of this look. Do what Kim did and secure the ponytail with multiple elastic bands for an eye-catching look.
9. The Wet Look

Nothing makes a simple hairstyle look more advanced and red carpet-ready than styling it to look wet. Simply run a product that has a shiny, high-shine finish from root to tip.
10. Half Up, Half Down

Whether your hair is straight, wavy or curly, half-up, half-down always works. Just look at Eva Longoria and her casual weekend style for proof.
11. Ballet bun

Selena Gomez proves that the ballet bun is (and always will be) a classic. We think the secret is in the slicing. Make sure your hair is parted down the middle to give it a sleek, elegant look.
12. Sleek low pony

When in doubt, opt for a low, sleek ponytail. It works with any aesthetic – perfect with natural makeup and athleisure wear as well as theatrical makeup and formal wear. Just make sure you seal the style with a non-crunchy hairspray. Bonus points if you use products that provide long-lasting hold, shine boost and UV protection.
13. Easy claw clip style

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the queen of minimalism, and so is her hair. All you need to replicate this look is a claw clip and a few tendrils left out in front to frame your face. It only takes a few seconds to achieve and the less perfect, the better.
14. Sleek Center Parting Lob

We love Kourtney’s short hair. It’s definitely considered medium length from chin to mid-shoulder. Take her advice and wipe the dust off your flat iron to create a sleek, medium parted lob. Finish by applying the right amount of shine serum.
15. Bubble ponytail

Bubble ponytails are very flattering and easy to do. Just take a look at Gabrielle Union. Simply tie your hair at the back of your head and place an elastic band evenly over the length of your hair. This will take five minutes.
