20 The Best Medium Length Hairstyles for Men

Achieve the perfect equilibrium with a mid-length cut.

written by Justin Bounds

Often mislabeled as a transitional length, medium-length hair has recently become the go-to look for men who want to add to their cool-guy clout.

For those who are bored of a polished short style but can’t commit to the transgressive look of long hair, a mid-length haircut is a perfect intersection between the two phases.

This length offers flexible options when it comes to styling. Adding a bit of product, trying out different styling techniques, or even just letting the hair run with its natural form can shift the look dramatically.

What are some of the best medium length hairstyles for men?

From the classic taper cut to a modern pompadour or quiff, there is plenty of inspiration when it comes to medium length hairstyles for men. For those who prefer longer styles, slicked back undercuts and shoulder-length cuts also work well. They can be further customized with texture or highlights to create an even more unique look.

How do I style medium length hairstyle?

For a professional look, consider combing the hair straight back using a small amount of pomade or gel. For naturally wavy or curly hair, use a light mousse or emollient conditioner in the shower and let the hair dry naturally for styling later. Alternatively, you can use an oval-shaped brush and gently blow-dry while brushing outwards to give your hair more volume. Regardless of which style men choose, they should always remember to use proper techniques – such as towel blotting when wet – and the right products to achieve their desired look.
