Short medium hairstyles are an ideal option for women wanting shorter hair without the drama. Also discover your face shape to select the right short medium hairstyle.

Short medium hairstyles are the best option for women who want to have hair that’s easier to care for and yet hesitate to get a pixie cut, concerned that they might end up looking like a boy. Although very short hairstyles are attractive, short medium hairstyles have a hint more of versatility and femininity – after all, you can still gather your hair in an updo or curl it for a special night out.

While a medium hairstyle is about shoulder length, a short medium hairstyle oscillates between above the shoulders and chin length. While it requires more styling than a short hairstyle, it’s nonetheless easy maintenance, much faster than keeping long tresses in place.

Short medium hairstyles worth taking note of would include the current textured, asymmetric bob and a modern version of the shag, Meg Ryan’s haircut. Whereas the Meg Ryan style works best with fine, slightly wavy hair, the bob looks the most chic on women boasting straight hair. For a more dramatic bob, try the A-line: the hair at the back is cut shorter and tapers toward the front in longer lines – a stunning, bold look for an independent woman. Whether you opt for the shag or the bob, leave some bangs in either case to soften the contour of the face.

With these short medium hairstyles, it’s important to keep in mind that your haircut maintenance should be more frequent. If you have long, curly hair, for example, you can get away with longer periods in between your hair salon visits. But a sharp-looking bob, for instance, needs to retain its sharpness with frequent trims at the hairdresser’s. Ask your hairdresser when you should return to trim your hair, and then add on a week or two.

Finally, perhaps you have heard advice on face shape and short medium hairstyles but have no clue as to how to discover your face shape. Discovering your face shape is actually a one-minute process with no second guessing. Pull all of your hair back in a ponytail and stand in front of a mirror. Looking into the mirror, draw the contour of your face and hairline. This will be your exact face shape, and you get to decide its category (round, long, square, etc.). Now all of that advice will begin to make sense – and pay attention because it does make a difference in which hairstyle looks drab or divine on you!
