4. Asymmetrical Medium Length Bob – If you have thin medium-length straight hair, this cut is one of the easiest to maintain.

These wisps or full bangs sweep from one side just right above or same level as your eyebrows, and then tapers to an angle to the other side of the face. For that perfect frame, have the angle line end at the ear line.

Sleep over it and in the morning, remove the braids and voila! You can recreate these fuss-free beach waves with medium length to long hair, and the smaller and tighter the braids, the more defined the curls will be. However, since we want to look slimmer, avoid having tight curls.

7. Romantic Braid and Wispy Bangs – Here comes sweet February and this braided updo looks perfect for your date night. Instead of a high updo, you can braid your hair at the back and create a low bun. Add loose locks of hair at the sides and wispy bangs to help frame your face.

8. Textured Lob – Even for medium-length hair, avoid the blunt bob as it will make your face look fuller. Have your stylist create a choppy look on your medium length hair, and add soft waves. Choose hairstyles that have texture and add illusion of movement on your hair. For textured hair color, ask your stylist for the right shade combination for your skin tone, and use that to add highlights and lowlights.

Accentuate with a thin headband, either a simple black, silver or studded one. Avoid placing the headband near your forehead, secure it around the crown of your head.
