25 Medium Length Hairstyles for MomsI’ve been on a mission to grow out my hair over the last year from this short hairstyle and it’s going really well. It’s been a lot of fun experimenting with different hairstyles, like creating soft waves with this curling wand or being able to put it in a bun on days I don’t feel like styling it. (I’ve learned how to do a top knot and it’s currently my favorite hairstyle. Easy peasy!)

I’ve had a lot of people ask what I’m doing to grow my hair out. One thing I’ve been doing is putting Argan oil on my hair every morning. It’s never been so soft and manageable and the brittle ends are gone. That one change has made it so much easier to style my hair + it looks ten times better.

  1. I love this roundup. My hair is medium length. I usually do a sleek Bob but I love the wavy looks.

  2. I am really loving all the toussled looks, those are my favorite. I need to bookmark this for when I get rid of my short hair, but for now I am happy with my super short!

  3. Thanks for this! I too recently chopped off my long blonde hair and went super short and dark, and now I’m to about shoulder length trying to go long and blonde again! I think you look fabulous either way, and the length looks great in both pictures, but I do like your blonde just a tad more. But maybe I’m biased 😉

  4. I was looking through your list and wanted to offer some advice.

    If you have a cowlick or widows peak in your front hair line, straight across bangs are a bad idea. They just won’t lay the way you want them to.

    Side parts are most flattering. It is very difficult to pull off a center part.

    Side bangs and anything that frames the face is your best bet.

    Longer in the front and shorter in the back can be a hassle to put up in a pony tail. Not all of your hair will fit.

    And with time put into blow drying and styling and high quality products, you can typically make your hair do just about anything.

  5. Thanks for featuring my work! Unfortunatly my name was cut out of the photo 🙁

    • I’m sorry to hear that Kate! I did not edit any of the photos myself. Can you tell me which one is yours? I can add a link underneath if you’d like, or you could send me the original photo?

  6. Hi, I only read this today, so maybe you already made your choice about going blond again, or not. I don’t know how old you are, but in comparison, you look much younger with the darker hair. Also you complexion looks healthier. Just my 2 cents…

  7. These hairstyles are perfect for my hair length, so now I really want to try some of these out. 🙂 I love Jessica Alba’s hairstyle!

  8. I love the cut you had when blonde, but I love the richness of your color & complexion as a brunette.

    • You are the third person that has told me this Donna! I’ve been tempted to go back to a warmer color this fall. I just might….thank you! 🙂

  9. I’ve learn several just right stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting.
    I surprise how so much effort you put to create this kind of
    magnificent informative website.

  10. Such an adorable incredibly creative rustic style… I love that it looks so very beautiful and wonderfully laid back. Thank you for sharing!
