Why do we decide to cut our hair? We usually do it because we would like to see ourselves in a different way, to breathe some air of change. Sometimes it’s just boredom or a need for something new. In any case, we cut our hair but we don’t always want to do it in a drastic and revolutionary way.
So it happens that we opt for a medium cut, which somehow gives us security but at the same time allows us to change our appearance, at least for a while. Even the stars often choose medium cuts for women, for reasons often related to their work, perhaps, or because they feel that it is not yet the time to change their look in a more “invasive” way.
Women’s medium cuts: why choose them?
So what do we mean by women’s medium cuts? For medium women’s haircut we mean a cut whose lengths usually do not exceed the shoulders. Even, scaled or asymmetrical, there are so many variations on the theme that it is often difficult to choose the one that best suits us, our look or our hair structure.
What are the advantages of this hairstyle? First of all its versatility. Medium women’s cuts are versatile because they often adapt to every need, both in terms of style and hair. In fact, medium cuts are perfect both if we have wavy hair and if we have it curly or straight. Perfect if we have very fine hair that needs volume, but also if we have thick hair and want to create movement without weighing it down too much. However we put it, medium hair is the ideal solution if we want a change, as long as it is not radical but soft.

The stars who have chosen a medium haircut
Many stars have chosen a medium haircut in 2023: there is the wolf cut by Irina Shayk, the asymmetrical bob by Karlie Kloss, the U-cut by Ana de Armas, the shag by Billie Eilish and the super catwalk by Jenna Ortega . We ask them for some style advice.
Medium hair cut: the wolf cut by Irina Shayk
Halfway between mullet and shag, the wolf cut is the medium haircut which have chosen many international stars, including Irina Shayk. Literally “wolf cut”, due to the slightly rough and somewhat ruffled final effect, the wolf cut is a super layered cut that is often combined with a very thin curtain fringe. Usually the wolf cut requires wavy hair, but maintenance is really very simple: just dry your hair naturally and apply a specific cream for wavy hair.
Medium haircut: the asymmetrical bob by Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss’ blonde goes perfectly with this one asymmetrical bob, perfect both wavy and super smooth. In this case, Karlie Kloss chooses an asymmetric layering, where the back of the hair is shorter than the front. In this way, the hair looks fuller and more voluminous and the front strands noticeably lighten the entire hair.
Medium haircut: Billie Eilish’s shag
American singer Billie Eilish singles a shag with an eighties aftertaste: medium length hair just below the shoulders, slightly layered all over the hair and shorter in the front. The hair is completed perfectly with a very thin curtain fringe and a very natural wavy finish.
