Borth states, “for short to medium styles like this, it’s best if you have straight hair with minimal cowlicks or curly hair. Wavy hair also works, too. Use mousse, heat protectant, hairspray, and various other products to style. Texturizing powder works well to achieve this short medium hair.”

“This short to mid-length haircut needs maintenance from the salon and home. Plan on getting your medium short hair cut every 6-8 weeks to maintain the shape of the cut,” she explains.

Stylish Medium-Short Haircut for Curly Hair
This stylish medium-short haircut for curly hair was created by hairstylist Christine Diaz of Whittier, CA. “The girl in the photo had virgin hair and wanted to keep the integrity intact. Balayage will help with that. Ask your stylist to use your own natural texture to create your own signature haircut,” she explains.
When you get to the salon, Diaz recommends you, “ask your stylist to cut one inch in length to refresh your ends, then proceed to cut your nape to simulate an A-line bob. Then ask her to cut a vertical line and then almost like a ‘C’ pattern along with the shape of your head. To avoid the ‘triangle’ or ‘bell’ shape, I gathered hair at the top of the crown area sectioning a U and cut about an inch.”
Modern Short to Medium Angled Bob
This natural-looking medium-short hairstyle is a real eye-catcher! Keep your bob angled and straight with a subtle waved end if you want to put attention on this bold color that perfectly suits fair skins. Most medium to short hairstyles look great when layers and balayage are added.
