It is easy for us to sometimes fall into a rut with our hairstyles and continue to wear our hair down or pull it back with a clip. However, there are numerous styles that work well with medium and long hair.

French Braid

Even though they look complex, French braids really are easy, beautiful and adaptable to any occasion. Instead of braiding three strands that include all of your hair, a French braid starts with a thin ponytail at the top layer of your hair. As you continue, you will group more thin sections of hair and attach them to the strands of the ponytail, which results in beautifully draped hair on both sides of your braid.

The Bob

Shape the hair in the back and let your sides grow out, forming a medium bob hairstyle. The bob has been around for years and it can be styled to work with any haircut and texture. Adding layers can add volume or some flip to the ends of your hair.

Multi-Layers

If you have long curly or wavy hair, it helps to cut some layers in because the layers will transform the curls and make them flow more naturally. Adding layers to thick, straight hair can also help remove excess weight and make it more manageable to style.

Ponytail

It is often important if you have longer hair to pull it back away from your face. You can do a simple ponytail or you can dress it up like the stars do with a sassy, sexy ponytail and soft, wispy bangs.

The Feather Cut

This cut is extremely versatile because your stylist will razor off some sections in front and add an airy, feathery feeling to hair that's usually coarse and thick. This style is fairly easy to maintain with just some mousse, a paddle brush and some finishing spray.
