“I would describe this style as an textured, textured look with an oval surface,” explains cutting specialist and style designer Terri Holian from Modesto, CA. “My most loved feature of this look is the fact that you are able to keep the straight, clean ends, but with the texture taking place at the top of the head” Holian adds. The medium wavy cut creates an appealing hairstyle, and can be worn in any way. It is possible to apply mild styling cream or mousse and let your hair dry to create an easy style or style it for greater volume and texture. If properly texturized this style can be a great fit for women with thin or thick hair. The overall cut is a great choice for anyone who makes a few adjustments to length and the quantity of texture!
#18: Warm Honey Balayage on Side-Parted Mid-Length Hair
This warm honey inspired by Olivia Wilde Balayage for mid-length hair was designed by stylist Sarah Hibbs Williams of Hendersonville, TN. “I am in love with the the colors flows and defines the various dimensions and depths in this hairstyle,” Sarah says. This fashionable haircut for square faces can be easily customized. Hibbs-Williams describes how she styled her hair. “I applied Amika Wizard to give the shine of the blow dry. I followed by loose waves that were curled with the Amika 1 1/2″ Chameleon wand. We also added Puff Me in the root to give an added lift, and then added Amika Texture Spray for those waves.”
#19: Lived-In Medium Hair for a Sharp Jawline
This live-in hairstyle on a medium-length cut was designed by hair stylist Courtney Carrara of Wilmington, NC. “Next day, live-in, freestyled hair is my aim. I like the look to compliment the face, and highlight the jawline cheeks, cheeks, and eyes. Instead of taking sections and bending one towards the face and then taking the other section to the side, I prefer taking whole horizontal sections that face the face to highlight the jaw. This helps soften the jawline perfectly,” she explains. The next horizontal part will be a bit further away of the face starting to create what we call our “next day” form and revealing the cheekbones. “I keep the horizontal toward/away sections until the area of the bangs. I like the fringe to be all far away from our face, to make sure that we can open your eyes.” the stylist adds.

The blunt shoulder-length cut that has slight incline was designed by hair stylist Holly Painter of South Hill, VA. “My advice to women who is considering this cut is to take it on,” says Painter. “Bangs can be a bit of an investment, so it is something to think about. For a look that looks like this, you’ll require a 1 1/4 inch curling iron, as well as a lightweight hairspray to hold. Spray the hairspray onto damp hair prior to applying the heat-styling device.”

“I think of this style as contemporary, mid-length hair that is next-day,” says hairstylist Reghan Campbell Rojas from Kailua Kona, HI. “My most favorite part about it is the texture and the detail of the cut. The entire cut was made on dry hair, which made it easy to work with heavy point cutting in order to achieve those seamless internal layers,” she explains. For medium-layered haircuts that flatter square face shapes, you’ll need curling irons and texture spray, according to Campbell Rojas. “My most used product for getting that messy, unfinished appearance is L’Oreal Professional Tecni Artist Wild Hair Next Day. I also like R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste to add some volume to the roots. My most favorite curling iron is BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Curling Iron 1 1/4-inch.”
