Not sure whether to grow your hair XXL, or cut it into a short crop or swishy bob? Mid-length hair is the perfect in-between length, because it give you a bit of everything.
Want a flirty shoulder-grazing cut that shows off a little collarbone action? Mid-length haircuts hit right at that sweet spot. Still want enough room to access all the cute hairstyles that are currently trending (see: baby braids, Pammy updos and the knotted ballerina bun)? Mid-length hair will see you straight there, too.
Still on the fence? One major benefit to mid-length hair (especially if you’re going shorter, rather than growing it longer), is that it can leave hair looking so much healthier. A fresh chop that skims away dead ends can complete transform the look of hair, and make it look thicker, swishier and much more luxurious.
Another pro? It works beautifully on all hair textures, whether you want a poker-straight lob, a curly mane, to unleash your natural coils or messy waves. Throw in a styling tool, and we’ve been loving the glossy-glam mid-length Hollywood waves that Kaia Gerber, Miya Cech and Ashley Park have been serving up.
Or, look to OG supers like Cindy Crawford who have remixed the supermodel blow dry alongside a sexy clavicle-sweeping midi cut. In fact some of this season’s biggest hair trends work best on mid-length hair, including The Rachel and The Shag.
But whether you want to wear it styled, or loose and natural, halfway hair is the cool-girl cut that gives relaxed vibes (not least because it’s one of the easiest lengths to style and look after). So, here’s to a low-maintenance length that looks incredible.
