18 Stunning Medium Length Hairstyles for Natural Hair

I’ve had every hairstyle imaginable. It feels like it, at least.

I have relaxed my hair, big chopped, braided it up, dyed it blonde, and been natural. I say all of that to communicate that Black hair is as versatile as it is beautiful. Since big chopping for the second time, my hair has grown into a medium length that’s allowed me to try a variety of hairstyles.

My favorite hair looks of the moment are cornrows, wash-and-gos, and an afro puff I spent an entire weekend perfecting. The good news about medium hair is that whether you’re still going to see your stylist every six weeks to get your new growth in check or have put your hot tools down for good, there’s an option for you. Just be sure to condition and moisturize your coils as you try the 18 styles on this list.
