We can see why medium haircuts with bangs have become so popular. This length is easy to style, low-maintenance and looks great paired with bangs.

Pro stylists love medium haircuts. Michael Van Clarke, a renowned London hairdresser, says that medium haircuts are versatile and don’t require long hair to look healthy. There are many medium haircuts that include bangs, from bobs shorter than long to swoopy and voluminous. You have two options: go for blunt, full bangs or go for side bangs.

We have a selection of medium-length hairstyles that suit curly hair and straight hair. The hair professionals share their expertise to help you find the perfect style.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Van Clarke says this hairstyle is suitable for everyone. It’s important to shape the hairstyle so that it frames your face. He says, “It’s all about shaping the hair around your face to enhance the client’s natural features.” Curtain bangs, for example, can improve cheekbones.

Van Clarke says layers are important to optimize the shape and flow in the hair. “But layers are not what most people think. Most people associate layers with mullets or step chunks. Layers can actually be invisible and enhance the style’s shape.”

Maintenance depends on the medium haircut with bangs that you are using. Van Clarke says that monthly cuts are recommended if the fringe is less than one centimetre from your eyebrows. A micro fringe can grow into flattering curtain bangs, which will allow for a longer time between salon visits.
