Do you need some new hairstyle ideas? These 15 medium length layered hairstyles will have you booking an appointment with your stylist asap!

If you’re hesitating about getting layers in your hair and wondering if it’s the best decision, here are some reasons why you might want to get it done and why you might not.

Layers vs One Length

Layers are great for if…

• You want more volume
• You want to give the illusion of length
• You want hair that looks full of life
• You’re recovering from a bad haircut
• You just want a new ‘do and something different!

Layers are not great if…

• You have extremely thin hair; adding layers can cause it to go flat
• You don’t want the extra maintenance; adding layers can extend your styling time
• You don’t want the extra salon appointments; adding layers usually requires more visits
• You don’t want to go through the hassle of growing it back out; going from layers to one length again can take some time

Okay, now that we’ve covered layers vs one length, let’s get into these gorgeous medium length layered hairstyles shall we?

15 of the Cutest Medium Length Layered Hairstyles

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

This is by far one of my favorite medium length layered hairstyles I’ve seen. From the cut and the color, it’s perfect. If you’re wondering how to ask your hairstylist for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s hair, your best bet is to take a picture to show them or bring up the photo above on your phone. They need to see exactly what you’re talking about.

Also, whenever you’re getting a new ‘do, you’ll want to wear your hair to the salon like you normally do so your stylist has a good idea of what will work and what won’t. If you show up in a ponytail and she/he starts chopping, you could end up with a cut you don’t like. Also, share with your stylist what your weekly hairstyling habits are like + your lifestyle. If you despise styling your hair, they’ll most likely recommend that this isn’t the best cut for you.

Mane Addicts spoke to the man behind Rosie’s style and he shared some tips on how to get the look. He recommended using this sea salt spray all over your hair from the roots to the ends, after you’ve blown your hair dry. Let the product dry and then style.

Other recommended products for this style:

• Toni&Guy Casual Sculpting Powder
• Medium Sized Curling Iron
• Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray

Here are 14 more medium length layered hairstyles worth scrolling through. Keep going until the end where we share some tutorials for styling this kind of cut.
