Flaunt These 20 Medium Hairstyles for Summer

There’s something about summer that makes all of us shine a little brighter than usual. We get excited for the promise of graduations, vacations, and more! Changing your hairstyle for the season is only natural. Our blondes get brighter, chocolates get a touch of toffee and our styles become more natural and effortless. Whether you’re looking to change the color on an existing mid-length style, or simply a new way to update your cut for the season, I’ve got you covered with these medium hairstyles for summer!

Chocolate Shag

The medium shag is loose and carefree, much like summer. The layers create lift and movement giving the limpest hair some swing and texture.





How To Style:

1. Apply appropriate working product. For fine hair use a volumizer and for thicker hair use a smoothing lotion.
2. Wrap dry hair (moving from left to right following the natural shape of the head) with a paddle brush.
3. Once hair is roughly 75% dry, start taking vertical partings and blow dry hair towards the face.
4. If hair your is thicker and rougher in texture, use a flat iron to smooth out the style.

Recommended Products:
I am a big fan of the anti.gravity by Kevin Murphy when it comes to volumizing products. It will give you lift that last all day and it has a light detangler so the ends of your hair do not feel crispy. If your hair tends to be a rougher texture, then I prescribe a cocktail of products. I will typically use Abba’s Smoothing Blow Dry Lotion mixed with a bit of MoroccanOil. The blow dry lotion will help keep the style longer while the oil will add shine and weigh the cuticle down for a sleek finish.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
The shag works for so many different face shapes. The focal point of the layering around the face or fringe can make it appropriate for all of us! A fringe can balance out a narrow face while longer layers around the face can elongate it.
