#1: Blonde Layers and Side Fringe
For a cute alternative, consider adding blonde layers and a side fringe to your medium-length hair. Add blonde highlights to accentuate the layers in your hair, giving your hairstyle a shaggy and dimensional look. Be sure to leave your fringe a bit longer to about your nose to achieve a perfect blend. You can style your layered hair in various ways: mess them up with your hands, smooth them out using a round brush, or curl them once they’re dry. This hairstyle is not just versatile and feminine but is a simpler option than having long hair.

#22: Mid-Length Shag for Women Over 50
Go for hairstyles with side fringe, like a mid-length shag for women over 50. A “sliding” haircut technique is often used with this style. This means your stylist will carefully “slide” the shears down your hair to create soft, blended layers.
Medium layered hair with side bangs is a side-parted textured cut with a length that hits the collarbone or shoulder. The fringe is swept to the side, creating an asymmetric frame for women’s faces.
Haircut expert Lee Caldera-Martinez of San Antonio, TX, loves the versatility of this look.
She explains, “It’s long enough to pull up in a bun or ponytail but is short enough to style it easier and faster. You can also wear a cute fringe and leave face-framing pieces to make it pop.”
The best feature of this hair idea is that layers and bangs can be altered. The cut is customizable to ensure it works well with your facial features and hair texture. Note that a mid-length layered cut isn’t ideal for women with frizzy and thick tresses.
Choose a chop depending on your lifestyle and how much time you’re willing to spend when styling. Consider how you’d like to maintain or grow your hair out. These details will allow your stylist to give you realistic advice and opinions. Ask your stylist for a medium-length low-maintenance hairstyle for easy styling.
“Some styles are possible only with proper styling products and methods and upkeep. It’s vital to ask your hairdresser how to style the cut differently,” Caldera-Martinez points out.
