Medium-length haircuts are the best for thick hair. They are neither too long nor too short and just the right size. And let’s be honest, sometimes size does matter.

Thick hair can be frustrating to maintain and style. But a good hairstyle can change all that! If your thick hair is too long, you tend to feel swallowed up by it. On the other hand, you lose volume if it’s too short. That’s why you should opt for a medium-length cut. It honestly is the perfect length.

If you’re not sure which hairstyle you’d like, keep reading. We have curated a list of 60 amazing medium-length cuts you should pore over. Scroll down now.

Before You Get Started

  • Medium-length hair is probably the easiest length to work with. It neither requires trimmings as often as short hair nor takes as much time to style as long hair.
  • It’s the best length to experiment with creative cuts like shags, graduated lobs, and chandelier layers for all face shapes.
  • Layers are the go-to cut to try with thick, medium-length hair, as it adds a lot of movement and bounce to the hair.
  • Use texturizing sprays for the best effects.

60 Stunning Medium-Length Haircuts And Styles For Thick Hair

1. Blonde Lob

If you have straight blonde hair, a simple all-one-length lob would be the right haircut to go mid-length. It would require minimal styling and give you that edgy vibe. The slightly choppy ends add movement to the hair and create an illusion of volume. It’s best suitable for oval, diamond, and square face shapes.

2. Choppy Bob With Bangs

This collarbone-grazing medium-length lob with choppy bangs looks especially good on heart-shaped faces. The choppy bangs with asymmetrical ends sharpen the face, making the forehead appear smaller.

3. Pink And Brown Curls

We’ve all seen that blonde and pink combo hair. And, to be honest, it looks amazing. However, pink and brown hair is criminally underrated. This bubblegum pink hair looks banger with brown and should be your next pick if you are into coloring.

4. Mid-Length Lob With Minimal Layers

Want to add a youthful charm to your simple mid-length hair? Go for minimal layers at the hair ends. The layers add movement to the sleek hair and do not make them look weighed down. They also soften the edges. You may add caramel highlights to accentuate the look.

5. Textured Wispy Layered Hair

Textured wispy layers look good on all hair types, especially naturally wavy hair. The wavy texture instantly boosts volume, making the hair appear fuller. Moreover, you can further accentuate the layers and make them bouncy by teasing the hair and styling them with a volumizing mousse. This haircut would look great on a square face shape.

6. Disconnected Choppy Layers

This hairstyle looks amazing on both thin and thick hair. The long, choppy layers take off the volume from thick hair. It can make thin hair appear voluminous when styled appropriately. The choppy curtain bangs enhance the features of rectangle-shaped faces and soften the sharp edges/

7. Straight Shag Hair

If you’re looking for something modern and edgy, the straight and sharp-edged shag should be the perfect haircut. The shag on straightened hair adds loads of layers, making the hair appear voluminous and not flat. The choppy ends create a slimming effect which would be flattering for women with round faces.

8. Sleek Lob With Tapered Ends

A shoulder-length haircut with blunt bangs looks simple yet elegant. The blunt bangs help elongate a round face and add a slimming effect. The slightly choppy ends add texture to the straight hair and prevent it from appearing flat and weighed down. People with thick hair can easily sport this fringe.

9. Layers With Swoopy Bangs

Swoopy bangs are a very fresh and cheerful take on the traditional fringes. Combined with two-level layers on medium-length hair, they look absolutely spectacular. The swoopy bangs add movement and bounce to your hair, making you appear youthful and chic.

10. Dual Shade Textured Hair

Looking stunning sometimes requires stepping out of your comfort zone and experimenting. So, don’t shy away from opting for this super-trendy dual-toned hair with textured waves. You can also go for colors of your choice as long as they complement each other.

11. Classic Straight Blunt Cut

If you have thick hair, this is the perfect haircut for you. The blunt ends show off your hair’s thickness beautifully. I think it’s one of the best haircuts out there. It is especially easy to style this cut in an updo.

12. The Bell Cut

Doesn’t the outline of this hairstyle look like a bell? If you live for that plain Jane look, this is definitely the hairstyle for you. It looks simple yet chic, and the ’U’ cut at the end lends a stylish flair to this look.

13. Golden Brown Layers

I love a good layered cut. It enhances the overall volume of your tresses and looks super cool. Add a nice golden sheen to your brunette locks to take it up a few notches. Looks amazing, doesn’t it?

“With this cut it’s important to think about how it will impact your daily life. You must talk to your stylist about it. If you like the blown out look, a traditional wet layered cut is great. This type of cut allows the hair strands to flow with more movement when dried. However, if you go natural more often, your stylist will want to cut to the wave or curl pattern. Doing so avoids a blunt cut that resembles a staircare. Cutting to the wave or curl pattern will leave your hair looking layered when drying naturally”, advises curly hair expert, Casey Simmons, who has over 20 years of experience in the industry.

14. Side Bangs And Subtle Waves

Want to add some texture and volume to your hair without curling it? Then, slight waves are the way to go. Wrap the lower half of your hair around the curling iron for two to three seconds to curl it slightly. Spritz on some hairspray and brush out your hair gently to make the waves seem subtle.

Being brunette is awesome, but I’m sure you’ve wondered how you would look with blonde hair. Instead of opting for a complete hair color change, try this blonde balayage first.

Maintenance Tips For Thick Hair

  1. Use a protein hair mask at least once in two weeks to nourish your hair. If you don’t take proper care of thick locks, they can lose their volume. Opt for a natural hair mask over one that contains chemicals.
  2. Get regular trims. This will keep split ends at bay and refresh your style.
  3. Wash your hair twice a week. Before you wash your hair, do some oil therapy. Massage your head and hair with some warm oil and leave it on for an hour. This will give your hair the nutrients it needs and adds shine.
  4. Watch your diet! What you eat ends up going to your hair as well. Your hair needs many vitamins and nutrients to stay healthy, so you need to eat healthy.
  5. Every once in a while, take a break from your heat styling tools. And when you do use them, don’t forget to use a heat protectant. This will protect your hair from heat damage.
