When the cold months come, coats and boots are not the only things that need to be refreshed and so is our hair. This winter seems to be the best reason to put a leg into something that would seem easy but purposeful. Did you ever feel that medium length cuts of hair would match any mood of the season? You might be more of a pile-on-layers person or more of a crisp silhouette showing out of your scarf, but something so quiet yet powerful in a winter medium hair cut is it encircles your face perfectly.
Now, shall we address what is trending- and more importantly what you can wear, touch and own unashamedly.
Soft French Layers with Wispy Bangs
The modern French layered cut possesses that type of movement that makes one think that they have just woken up with good hair -only better. The rounded-off ends with their feathers are soft, and the fringe is light, and gives light, yet not loss of depth. It is romantic and has enough of an edge to it, the type of winter medium haircut that causes you to look like you have a story to tell. It works wonderfully with the sober textures of leather jackets and cozy knits a contrast between the construction and delicacy.
To preserve such carefree feel, I prefer spraying on the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray in between washes. It is magic in keeping that airiness in the top and yet it has form on the ends. A round brush can also be used to blow-dry the bangs just at the end and the bangs will be lifted just like the Parisian style.
The thing I like best about this cut is the versatility it has. One day I will be fixing the back layers behind my ears with gold hoops; and the other day I will leave it to drape around my face and smooth it all out. This is what Jen Atkin, a celebrity stylist said, Movement is the new shine – and this is precisely it, alive, touchable, and real.
And perhaps that is why this haircut is so appropriate in winter, it has that unkempt appearance that is nonetheless well considered. Similar to your hair allowing its way to speak, I am in my soft-girl era, though I do not play around.
Dimensional Brunette with Face-Framing Layers
That is the type of medium length haircut that is successful in the golden light of the indoors, deep brunette hues kissed with light-reflective ribbons that make each curl or wave sculpted. The layers of the face-frame make the face open and provide movement, yet keep the look smooth and slick. It is a fashion that is luxurious without being overly obnoxious- it is that quiet confidence and Pinterest board perfection.
In order to maintain the color dimensional, I will always suggest a nourishing shampoo such as Redken Color Extend Magnetics. It maintains brunette colors and does not leave them so lifeless as in winter seasons. Another element of home treatment that we need is a weekly gloss treatment that provides a mirror reflection that we need in low-light situations, especially in December.
Something close to this distance, it goes with you. You may turn it over to drama, or beat it even to dinner by candlelight. I had this cut previously and it provided me with that additional push of confidence, which is very slight but tangible. According to Gregory Patterson once, the most flattering haircuts do not compete with you they frame you.
It is a glance at the woman who has herself, and does not require one to inform her of the trends – she wears it because it feels good.
’90s Revival Blowout with Espresso Highlights
Something about the winter makes me long back to a good blowout of the 90s – full, voluminous, bouncy, a little luxury that was sewed into every strand of my hair. The layers are cascaded gently and a mix of espresso tones had been added into warm brunette bases, creating that multidimensional warmth that radiates around a black turtleneck. It is the type of winter medium hair cut that directs energy of the super model -but make it current.
The secret is related to the maintenance of which a big round brush and a heat protectant serum are really useful. To ensure everything goes soft and touchable I swear by Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Heat Styling Spray. I will also apply a hydrating mask once a week – the Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense – just to maintain that blowout shine.
This appearance personally gives me a feeling of being presentable even during the days that I am simply doing some errands. It makes disorganized mornings structured and coffee dates classy. And it works well with oversized coats and two-thirds lips, too, to the spirit of the 90s.
According to the interview with hairstylist Chris Appleton, hair must act like a piece of fabric and move, bend, and capture light. And that is what this cut does -it glows in motion.
Soft Shag with Ash-Toned Dimension
The first impression I got when I watched this cut was – this is the contemporary shag done properly. Flecky ends, soft smattering, and a smoky flavour that suits all winter colours. It is that gray between edgy and carefree, not pointless, but gritty. This medium haircut can transform into a winter medium hairstyle in an instant and give you a cool-girl vibe at the same time, be it ribbed knits or your favorite black tee.
To do the styling, I did not use heavy creams, instead I applied a lightweight mousse such as Bumble and Bumble Thickening Full Form Soft Mousse. It is volumizing and not hard. When blow-drying, I will turn my hair to its topsy-turvy so as to promote that floating effect of this style.
This is the one that is not for people who want to blend in. It belongs to those who are minor rule-breakers who love to have their beauty flaws but undying. This is what hairstylist Anh Co Tran was referring to when he wrote about purposeful dishevelment, which is deliberate disarray, meant to be effortless.
It is the best winter secret: you could be organized and at the same time soft. It is all a matter of balance–and this strike hits it.
Polished Layers with Caramel Balayage
It is the light-minded kind of winter medium haircut with layers, shiny, caramelized, and attracting the light of sunshine on hot toast. It is a form of refined luxury, and it does not make a big noise but makes an impact. The mid-length balances where you desire and moves where you require sleek, chic and endless in its wearability.
To maintain that shiny finish I pick up the Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother after each wash. It closes the cuticle and provides that salon level shine with no accumulation. When you are using a blow-dryer, to get the blow-dryer to smooth and reflective, hold your brush facing downwards, that is the trick of making it flow in the right direction.
I would recommend it to any person who is willing to have a reset. I recall the time when I initially added caramel, it transformed my attitude towards my entire appearance. Warmer, softer, more self-confident.
It is all about light in this one, the way it strikes, the way it goes, the way it lingers. And does not winter, is it not, about that? Warming up in the most dainty ways.
Effortless Textured Bob with a “Messy Hair” Mood
Something undress and textured about this undone bob, it does not make much of an effort, but swivels heads. This is the type of medium haircut in winter, which is playing off the natural volume and waves that are not perfect, and seem to be fresh out of bed but still dressed. The mid-length cut massages the collarbone, and it is flitted back and forth with every movement due to the soft inner layering. It was coolly casual, nonphenomenal, Sunday morning coffee in your white tee.
I have always adored the fact that this shape suits almost all the types of faces. The trick lies in the delicateness of the layers – they outline without drawing lines of harshness. To bring texture and scrunch it into wet hair, I add a drop of Ouai Wave Spray and allow it to dry. It provides that weightless touch that is not hard like you need it to be on days when you can afford to skip the blow-dryer without necessarily appearing purposeful.
This cut feels like freedom. It does not require upkeep; it evokes games. One day I am going to throw it on the other side and switch it up, the next day I am going to switch it back up with a gold clip. It pairs with gold jewelry and natural makeup with ease, producing a low key glamour that is winter-chic.
Once in an interview celebrity stylist Mara Roszak claimed that texture is the new luxury and I could not agree with her more. Something about simplicity is decadent- when it is hair that feels real and alive and soft.
Playful Layers with Soft-Wave Texture
There is no better haircut that can be used when it is cold outside because it emits some warmth around it. Light and gentle waves in the form of layers that flow around the face like the sun playing. It is a youthful and polished mix of medium haircut and winter that is so charming and nonchalantly cool at the same time. That rumpled finish provides it that carefree power as though you are headed to brunch following a spontaneous road journey.
I tell my friends to consider texture as personality all the time, and a curling wand and a touch of sea salt spray are miraculous with this style. I prefer IGK Beach Club Texture Spray; essence of grit, but not too much to stay in the wave. These ends are sprayed with a touch of shine serum, so that it does not feel dry and overworked, particularly when the indoor heat goes on.
Personally, I have worn the same type of the style all throughout the weeks since it fits all the time, be it the snugly-fitting sweaters, the denim jackets, or even the office blazer. It is versatile, as a good friend who simply understands you. Whenever I see the mirror of these gentle curls I recall that the concept that one must always look presentable does not work out to look perfect.
And that is what makes it look timeless, it is easy-going, effort-free and alive. It may be cold in the winter, and so does not necessarily have to be your hair.
Voluminous ’70s-Inspired Layers with a Luxe Finish
The best thing about this haircut is that it is my love letter to volume, that thick, 70s-style bounce, and it is glamorous and refreshing. The medium length gives the ends a chance to flip out beautifully but it is full around the crown. It is the medium winter haircut to all those who are seeking movement, structure, and the appropriate amount of drama.
To sustain this style, I would suggest a product that is a round-brush blowout and a spray of Kerastase Volume in Powder Texturizing Spray. It gives the effect of that signature lift without hardness to ensure that the hair remains light and airy. When you want a salon shine, apply a couple of drops of Moroccanoil Treatment Light on top, it gives the skin a shiny mirror finish that is almost glowing in the winter sun.
And there is a confidence to this cut – not the whispering type of it, but that which is barely audible and like that of a woman who knows very well what will be effective with her. It reminds me of traditional beauty, recreated just in time. I had previously experimented with this cut before a celebratory event and all I can say is that I did not have to wear any jewelry, the hair was the jewelry.
One of the most famous hairdressers, Jen Atkin, once stated that the art of layering is more emotional than structural. This one expresses that feeling, brash yet gentle, and insubordinate and still sublime.
Warm Brunette Layers with Sleek Definition
Had minimalism been a haircut this would be it. A warm shade of brunette is made alive with the help of the definite layering to add motion without any surplus. It is fresh, polished, and incredibly sophisticated the type of winter haircut that matches perfectly with custom coats and espresso-brown lipstick. The face is framed in the soft layers and it is smooth flowing rather than being flashy.
I maintain this type of smoothness through a mix of Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray and a boar-bristle brush. It is a kind of weatherproofing to your blowout – the humidity, the cold air, whatever winter brings your way, it always appears polished. A little serum on the ends closes it all and provides a smooth gritty feel that is glass-like.
I believe that it is haircut silent luxury – no tricks, just accuracy and shine. On off days, whenever I wear such an outfit I feel very put together. The delicate highlights are brilliant in contrast to natural winter light and provide the dimension without being under constant maintenance.
It is to the person who wants something that is both simple yet luxurious at the same time, since sometimes the greatest message is to keep things even.
Layered Contour Cut with Soft Glow Highlights
This style is as though winter sunshine in a bottle. The contour cut has to be taken in layers, giving the face soft curves and the tones are given a softer look with the help of the weave of a warm brunette, interwoven with cooler shades. It is elegant, without being hard, a medium haircut of the winter months that gives warmth to cold winter days. The unceasing flow is facilitated by the balanced volume by passing through the mid-lengths in the manner in which natural rhythm moves.
For upkeep, hydration is key. I am a great fan of Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment – it enhances the ends, and the color remains vivid. In styling, I apply the medium-barrel curling iron to twist the layers out to create the bouncing airiness that flows well even with a winter hat.
This haircut, as was the case in my case, can change your mood. I received one just like it last January – and it immediately gave any outfit the appearance of being more sophisticated. The lights are faintly illuminated with a warm light, which reminds me that brightness does not necessarily imply boldness.
Tracey Cunningham, a celebrity colorist once stated that dimension is confidence and this appearance justifies it. All the strands appear to be purposefully grabbed by the light graceful, soft, and strong simultaneously.
Bronzed Balayage with Seamless Waves
The epitome of the modernly elegant haircut is this winter medium haircut with blazing balayage that fades into warm chocolate roots, with just-in-imperfect waves that flow down the collarbone. The cut is sophisticated yet easy at the same time, making it look like it has the right amount of polish that will go with any outfit, whether it is a ribbed sweater or a silk blouse. This overlay is slight, nearly imperceptible, yet providing that motion, which renders this style so attractive.
To keep this warmth on even in the colder months, I will always pick L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Blondifier Gloss Shampoo, even on brunette ends that are lightened up to the end. It maintains the creamy look rather than the brassy one, which winter hair requires in terms of this candlelit feeling. To style, the waves would be wet and shinier after four or five swipes of a large curling iron with a drop of Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil at the ends of the hair.
I have had tones like these before, which wake me up more somehow, as though your face catches the light. It is ideal when one wants change but not extreme.
The most excellent color is the one that appears to have sprouted as it is the case with Tracey Cunningham who remarked, The best color is the one which seems to have grown that way. And this is just such perfection effortless, costly in appearance, and flattering without any end.
Soft Volume Layers in Mocha Brown
This is what is referred to as the type of winter medium haircut that is like putting on your warmest knit sweater. Deep mocha brown hair with rounded layers which make the face advance giving it something to lift and give it a body. The texture is mushy – thematic strokes in the ends that render the entire look to be touchable even during the driest winter air.
This style is based on healthy shine which is the reason why I would always recommend using Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask on a weekly basis. It is a kiss to your hair in case indoor heating begins robbing your hair of moisture. Blow-dry using a medium round brush and push the hair forward to frame your cheekbones it makes this little dreamy shape.
Whenever I observe such a hairstyle, I imagine silent confidence, a hairstyle that does not scream but it just makes a statement. It brings back the experience of that after being out in the cold, going into a cafe, cozy, solid, warm.
It was made plain and simple — evidence that simple may even be memorable.
Soft Fringe with Textured Mid-Length Layers
A fringe of softness, and loose, disheveled layers, is so pretty. This medium cut of hair feels like the girl next door but with an up to date twist in this winter hairstyle. The trim brings back the feel of youthfulness, and the texture brings in motion, it is casual but purposeful. Easy when it is a cold day, or you are in a comfortable outfit with lots of oversized knits and neutrals.
Styling this look is a dream. I tend to spray Davines OI All in One Milk, which allows the hair to soften and prevents the layers to be frizzed. To make the fringe appear airy, never use a brush to dry it, just use your fingers, this gives the fringe that natural look that is more editorial than something that is perfected by the salon.
This type of haircut makes me think of a slow winter morning: the smell of coffee, the music that you listen to, the feeling that you do not have to hurry. It can be used at a night out or can be used to read in a corner cafe.
Fringes can transform your whole energy as the celebrity stylist, Harry Josh once said, they add a sense of mystery and softness to your look simultaneously. It is all this that this cut captures.
Golden Vanilla Waves with a Relaxed Finish
This style is a kind of sunlight on cold day, unobtrusive, radiant and warm. The medium haircut here is a winter medium, but it is played with the golden vanilla color, gently melting into a cut that falls at the shoulders in the best of the way. It is a simple, low-tech appearance that exudes freshness. Excellent to those who desire a lighter color but would not want to commit to full blonde.
To fix it, I prefer to apply Pureology Strength Cure Blonde Conditioner even to warm blondes, they maintain the shade light and the locks are moist. The slightest spritz of R+Co Trophy Shine + Texture Spray provides the slightest sheen of a touch of natural light.
The reason I like this cut is its convenience. It can be dried under the sun with a touch of leave-in cream, or rolled in small sections by wrapping a wand to give it a soft bend. In any case, it never appears accidental. I recall that I had done the same last winter, it immediately made my mood and wardrobe uplifted.
It is that cool girl spirit that has a warm heart – radiant and comfortable, lean but full of wonders.
Dimensional Blonde Highlights with Curtain Layers
It is something old-fashioned about this a contemporary interpretation of the layers of curtains that been kissed with beige and wheat-blonde ribbons that cover the face like the light. This is a medium cut of hair that belongs to the lady who enjoys a touch of stage but without making much noise. The mid-length makes it wearable, but the layered shape is dimensional and it can be used with both the natural waves and the blowout.
I really like the Kérastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Original to treat the ends and add shine to my hair. Blow-dry it in wet hair, then straighten the hair with a big brush, turning the strands of hair that frame the face outwards – it will feel like a day old at the salon. To maintain the color, a purple shampoo with a weekly interval is sufficient.
This appearance reminds me of urban mornings – clean, assertive and with a mission. It is the most powerful hair paired with structured blazers or coats which is soft and commanding.
When you have your hair going in the right direction, everything is going to go in the right direction as one of the stylists, Chris Appleton, once said. And this cut really slides right, smooth, graceful, and radiant in all lights.
Classic Layered Blowout with Natural Body
There’s something quietly timeless about a perfectly layered blowout. The kind that catches the light just right, frames your cheekbones, and falls with natural body — not stiff, not flat, but alive. This winter medium haircut celebrates movement and dimension, making even the simplest outfit feel refined. The cut focuses on balanced volume through the mid-lengths, giving that “fresh from the salon” energy that lasts.
When I style mine like this, I always use a large round brush and a little Oribe Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray. It smooths the cuticle and adds that effortless lift that feels straight out of a blow-dry bar. If your hair tends to fall flat, flip your head upside down for the last ten seconds of blow-drying — it’s a tiny move that changes everything.
I’ve always loved how this style feels quietly confident. It’s not shouting for attention; it’s just polished and assured. Like walking into a room knowing your hair looks good from every angle.
As hairstylist Chris Appleton once said, “Hair doesn’t just complete the look — it defines it.” This one defines sophistication in the softest way possible.
Bronze-Toned Waves with Subtle Movement
This is the kind of winter medium haircut that feels intimate and wearable — the kind of style that moves easily under a turtleneck and still manages to look perfect when you pull it out from a scarf. Warm bronze undertones and face-framing layers make the whole look glow, while the soft waves add understated movement. It’s feminine, cozy, and quietly luxurious — like candlelight in hair form.
I usually tell anyone with this cut to switch to a microfiber towel for drying; it keeps the surface smooth and shiny. Then, a small amount of Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil brings life to the ends. If you want those soft, natural bends, wrap sections loosely around a wide-barrel iron, alternating directions for that subtle, “I woke up like this” shape.
What I adore about this look is how versatile it is. One day you can go sleek with a middle part, the next you can tousle it up for casual texture. It’s practical, but never boring.
It reminds me of early morning coffee runs — quiet, calm, and somehow effortlessly beautiful.
Golden Layered Shimmer with Natural Glow
This winter medium haircut feels like bottled sunshine — golden tones catching light, cascading layers that lift around the face, and a touch of playfulness that keeps it youthful. The soft gradient from deeper roots to glowing ends creates dimension that flatters every skin tone, especially under the pale, cool light of winter.
For care, I swear by the Pureology Strength Cure Blonde Mask, even if you’re not fully blonde. It keeps those warm hues healthy and prevents dullness from indoor heating. To style, I like to blow-dry with a round brush and then use my fingers to break up the curls, giving it a natural finish instead of overly polished perfection.
Every time I’ve gone for this tone, I noticed how it transforms the energy of my whole look. The color feels optimistic — like wearing light even on cloudy days. It’s easy to maintain, versatile for both work and weekends, and somehow always flattering.
Hairstylist Tracey Cunningham once said, “Hair color should whisper, not scream.” And this one whispers beautifully — golden, warm, and quietly confident.
Silver-Beige Layers with Frosted Dimension
A soft balance of silver, beige, and ashy blonde gives this winter medium haircut a cool, luxurious feel — like the shimmer of fresh snow in sunlight. It’s one of those tones that instantly modernize any outfit, especially when paired with black or charcoal gray. The layers are smooth but defined, giving shape and airiness while keeping the edges rounded and feminine.
I always recommend using Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Conditioner for this shade — it strengthens and seals lightened strands while preserving that icy tone. Finish with a lightweight serum like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum for that glassy reflection.
This haircut feels powerful yet delicate — structured but soft. It’s the kind of look that turns heads without needing to try. I wore a similar shade last winter, and it was incredible how much it brightened my complexion, especially on cold, crisp mornings.
It’s for the woman who loves precision and ease, who wants her hair to feel like a natural extension of her mood — sleek, steady, and quietly stunning.
Champagne Blonde Layers with Effortless Bounce
This one’s pure winter radiance — champagne blonde with soft, rounded layers that lift around the jawline and fall with bounce and shine. It’s a winter medium haircut that brings glow to your complexion and feels both playful and elegant. The layered structure allows airiness through the crown, while the tone adds warmth that feels especially flattering in cool seasons.
To keep this color luminous, I use Kristin Ess Signature Gloss in “Crystal Clear” every few weeks — it’s like an at-home glossing treatment that refreshes the tone and adds instant brilliance. For daily styling, a touch of Kerastase Nectar Thermique before blow-drying keeps the ends healthy and full of life.
There’s something irresistible about how this cut moves — it feels soft, effortless, and alive. Like a perfect mix of glamour and authenticity. When paired with neutral makeup and a black blazer, it becomes that understated statement — confidence in simplicity.
I once heard hairstylist Anh Co Tran describe the perfect blowout as “the illusion of natural perfection.” This haircut embodies that — relaxed, luminous, and simply beautiful from every angle.
Layered Chestnut Blowout with Face-Framing Shape
It is a medium haircut in a winter that I refer to as quiet glamour which is that bounce of luxury that states effortlessly chic without a single curl out of place. The sweeps of the long cuts provide a natural lift of the face, which then produces a soft face-framing figure of the silhouette that represents winter sophistication itself. The tone – deep chestnut in caramel threads – is heavy and dimensional, and is just right to grab that low golden winter light.
I like this cut since it is one of the few that make you look immediately put together. The trick of maintaining this type of volume is the preparation: applying Kérastase Mousse Bouffante Volumizing Foam prior to blow-drying, concentrating on the roots. I then end with a small spray of Color Wow Style on Steroids Texturizing Spray which gives it a salon quality.
Whenever I do go out with a blowout like this one, I can see that people stare a little longer at me, there is something classic and movie-like to it. It is well matched with turtlenecks, custom-made coats, and subtle and naturalized makeup.
It is its own style of movement – a small nod to the timeless supermodel vibe of the 90s, but reinvented in the present.
Chocolate Waves with a Modern Twist
The following is a hairstyle that can show that depth can also be as bright as brightness. This medium length cut of rich chocolate brown winter hair is a revelation of subtly lavishness – heavy layers giving the appearance of bulk, gentle waves to move, and soft contouring to flatter all the face shapes. It is not noisy, it is assertive – like cashmere hair.
In order to keep that shiny hair, I can recommend Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to keep the hair silky and not heavy. In the case of waves, a wide-barrel curler is to be used, but with each part, the direction must be reversed. The consequence is that unstructured yet perfect texture so much desired by us.
The appeal to me of this appearance is the flexibility. It can be smooth and shinny as you attend a dinner night, or as you head to the weekend it can be dishevelled. I had something like this last December, and it made an immediate upgrade to my winter wardrobe immediately even jeans and a white tee became purposeful.
According to stylist Mara Roszak, the best styles are not worn out, but lived in. That is what this cut embodies natural, contemporary, and inexhaustibly wearable.
Toffee-Toned Curls with Fluid Texture
Softness would appear in this shape were it not aeless. This is a medium hairstyle that is treated with toffee and honey undertones, which work to convert the natural curls into smooth cascades of motion and light. The volume does not oppress the face since the layered shape makes everything in equal measure and elegant. It is the type of texture that seems spontaneous yet very feminine such as the winter air blowing in your hair.
To treat, I will suggest Davines Love Curl Cream or Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Gel – both of them are used to keep curls where they are but without ever making them crunchy. Dry at low heat or blot on a microfiber towel to achieve that natural, bouncy feel. And do not omit the satin pillowcase, winter air is as merciless as it pleases, and curls need a little special attention.
On a personal level, I find this cut to be like a jump into a holiday movie on my own part, it is so confident, soft, radiant. It is like being warm and sexy at the same time, something everyone would like to see a bit of action and volume in their hair.
It is evidence that natural texture does not require refining it only requires glorifying.
Classic Bob with French Minimalism
So is that French-girl philosophy: a bit dishevelled, eternally chic and full of character in this hair cut. The loosely curled ends of this medium winter cut haircut provide carefree form – between sophisticated and carefree. The length is just above the shoulders and fits well with thick sweaters, crisp shirts or even with tightened-in blazers. It is the meaning of wearable cool.
In order to get that natural bends, I start with Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 Styling Treatment and twist small sections with my fingers as I dry. It is not about perfection, but about texture deliberate. After it is dry, a layer of R+Co Outer Space Flexible Hairspray is sprayed over it to fix it in position and yet allow it to move freely.
What I like about this cut is that it is flexible. It is one moment chic and sharp, the next moment it is romantic and relaxed. The sensation is of a Parisian winter, chilly air, hot espresso and unlimited confidence.
Each season requires a haircut that brings you down to earth – this one does it beautifully.
Golden Ringlets with Caramel Depth
This is one to the curl enthusiasts – long, wavy locks with golden caramel-colored hair. It is a medium haircut of winter which does not dress behind construction, it glorifies freedom, volume, and life. The curls are defined with the help of the layering through the mid-lengths and the natural spring. It is dynamic, young and infinitely expressive.
The DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler is my recommendation always to have such a look. It establishes curls without weight and the coconut base adds that silky smoothness that everybody feels. Dry after application with a diffuser bending head forward this will increase lift and shape without frizz.
I can recall the time I first accepted my own natural texture, I felt like I was being reborn. It is strength to have your hair blow where it pleaseth. This is what this cut is pumping: comfort, self-confidence, and personal style.
According to a stylist known as Vernon François, curls speak their own language, you just need to listen. And this style is eloquently spoken.
Soft Volume Bob with a Retro Edge
It has a nostalgic quality inherent in a medium haircut of this winter a voluminous bob cut soft and somewhat vintage and fresh at the same time. The circular layers make fullness around the crown creating the illusion of thicker hair but everything remains light and bouncy. It is a tad 70s, a tad Parisian in the present and utterly flattery-filled in the cold season.
This form is always the easiest to hold with a light volumizing mousse such as Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray. It gives the roots their grasp and the ends a caprice. The round brush will blow-dry it and leave it to cool in position to fix this airy curve which makes this appearance.
This design reminds me of cozy sweaters and early morning sun rays through a window. It is a personality, it moves with you, and flattens your features, and it is a feel-good woman without the noise.
It is self-assurance in the form of naivete and this is what renders it timeless.
Carefree Curls with Street-Chic Vibes
This one is the winter medium haircut in which one wants to be a little rebellious in the way they dress. These are natural curls, loose but not so disorderly as to seem unreal — like wind-tousled perfection. The shape is cut in such a way that the curls are delineated but freeing with the ends that is ideal in layering underneath coats and scarfs without losing the shape.
With R+Co Curl Defining Cream, I always refresh my curls this way scrunched through wet hair and letting them dry naturally. It makes them elastic, but not firm. When the air is dry (it is in the winter at all times), a drop of Ouai Hair Oil will lock in the moisture and keep off frizz.
This haircut is not arrogant and yet in a fun effortless manner like a person who laughs a lot and does not mind a minor rain. It is getting back to the natural motion rather than struggling against it.
It’s such a cut that states the following: I woke up like that, and, frankly speaking, I did.
Classic Waves with Modern Ease
This is the one that should be owned by the lovers of the eternal beauty – the medium haircut in the winter which is so relaxing, sophisticated and it can be worn at all time. The textures are delicate, the motion is gentle and the whole look is elegant and friendly. It is the type of hair that suits all occasions – at work and leisurely Sunday mornings.
To have a sleek and healthy styling, I use Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother. It takes just a couple of blows with a paddle brush to achieve that smooth volume at the roots and in case I want something with a touch of texture, I will simply wrap a few pieces loosely around a curling wand. Nothing that is so good–that is the beauty.
I have always thought that hair such as this tells some kind of silent story. It is not following the fads; it is making its own beat. The dark shade and the dull shine cause it to shine during the dull day sunlight in winter.
The balance itself, so orderly and yet smooth, so lovely without any effort on its part, is somehow very comforting.
Champagne Layer Cut with Polished Dimension
It is the medium winter haircut of the ladies who appreciate a bit of glamour – layers of champagne-blonde, long, loose, and shinny hair, light but natural. The fringe on the long curtain runs into the rest of the cut perfectly forming the natural volume that encloses the face with soft material. It is sophisticated, but in a non-challant way, it is real-life modern luxury.
To maintain this type of color I will always apply Redken Color Extend Blondage Shampoo to maintain the color or replace it with a moisturizing mask such as Kérastase Masque Intense Régenerant. The use of a round brush to give that salon shine and a cold air finish to hold everything in place with a soft blow-dry creates everything.
Personally, I love this tone as it is applicable in all lights, natural sunshine, fluorescent work place, or the cozy candle light. It is warm without becoming brassy, so rare and valuable a quality.
It is its faith in the most refined manifestation thereof, faintly strong, beyond doubt beautiful.
Conclusion
As I go back at the hair inspiration of this winter, one thing has to be mentioned soft confidence. Bouncy layers, air-dried curls, dimensional color, whatever it is: all winter medium hair cuts this season are the same, in energy: natural movement, warmth and ease.
As the commentator of hair stylist, Gregory Patterson, once remarked, hair is emotion in a bottle. Well, this is the season so perhaps it is not about the perfect cut and more about the way it feels. Confident. Renewed. Beautiful — in your own way.
Then, go ahead — do make that appointment, experiment with that new tone, have the scissors cut something new. This is up to you to make of this winter.
