12 Stunning Medium Hairstyles for All of Your Holiday Parties
A shoulder-grazing 'do may just be the perfect length! It has more versatility than a short chop and is more manageable than super long locks. From perfect beach waves to classy updos, medium-length hair can do it all. Need some styling inspiration for all your holiday parties (and beyond!)? These celebs have it in spades.
Adding curls is a great way to add a little fun to normally-straight strands. To get the look, just wrap 1.5-inch sections of hair around a curling iron. Just be sure to curl front pieces away from your face for the most flattering look. Finish with hairspray to make sure your style lasts all night.
Split ends are no match for a blunt cut. Ask your stylist to cut your strands straight across—your hair will instantly appear thicker and healthier. Then, style however you want! Sandra Bullock's soft waves are beyond stunning.
Score that beachy vibe—even in the middle of December! For Kerry Washington's effortless look, part your hair on the side and wrap 2-inch sections around the barrel of a curling iron for a few seconds, making sure to switch up the direction you wrap hair in for that tousled look. Finish with hairspray.
The new way to rock bangs? Long, piecey, and parted like Halle Berry. Just ask your stylist to cut them so they fall a bit below your eyebrows.
This boho look is perfect for second-day hair! Even better, it's incredibly easy to pull off: Just use a curling iron to add soft waves, then pull the top section up into a messy bun.
Katie Holmes has the right idea with this low-maintenance look. Part hair in the middle and gather it at the nape of your neck. Don't worry about a few bumps or wispies—you want it to look carefree, not perfect!
These big, glam curls are stunning on Jennifer Lopez. To get the look, create a deep side part on the opposite side that you normally part on—this will help you get more volume. Then, use a 2-inch curling iron to curl large sections of hair. Help your look last with a spritz of hairspray.
Though her title is Duchess, Meghan Markle is the queen of the messy bun. Get her look by parting hair in the center and gathering it into a loose bun at your nape. Secure it with a hair tie, then pull a few pieces loose at the front and curl them with a curling iron.
Tracee Ellis Ross looks gorgeous in this slicked-back style. To recreate it, add gel to your hair and brush it straight back with a comb. It's literally that easy!
Take a page from Kate Middleton's book and opt for a simple blowout. Blow dry clean hair using your hands until it's about a quarter of the way dry. Then, grab a round brush and dry it the rest of the way. Finish with some shine spray.
Go for an overall polished vibe with straight, sleek strands. To recreate Olivia Wilde's look, grab your favorite hair straightener and pull it through your tresses until they are silky smooth. Then, tuck hair behind your ears and finish the look with a shine spray.
Tucking your waves behind the ears is a simple way to switch thing up. Curl strands away from your face before tucking the front section behind ears. Finish with hairspray, and you'll glow just like Sofia Vergara.
