#2 The Bronde Money-Piece Wavy Midi

The face framing blonde is the sugaring spot of the balayage and attracts the focus right to the front without the assistance of back section highlights, which means this type of balayage is great for all hair types, even thinner hair. For the most part, the back section is how the rest of the waves in your hair frame your face. A texture spray works well to hold your waves to keep the look from being too flat towards the end of the day.

#21 The Wavy Chocolate Midi with Full Bangs
A cute wavy chocolate brown midi with trendy bangs at collarbone length and fringe. The bangs are a nice touch and have some texture throughout with ends colored to a dark brown. The texture limited how much weight the bangs had making it a great style for hair like this. As one of the more low maintenance styles with hair like this, all this style requires is curl cream and letting it air dry, as much of the work is done by then. All you need to do to maintain style is scrunching midway and then towards the end when the rest of the style is complete.
#22 The Blonde Midi with Inward-Turned Ends

#23 The Bouncy Curled-End Dark Midi
Adding a side swept part to your dark voluminous midi works perfectly with a hairstyle done with a 1.25 inch curling iron like the one pictured on style.com. It creates movement in the bottom layer where the curls begin and keeps the root of the hair stuck to your head. This helps take some of the heaviness out of your thick curls. Your stylist should know you want them to cut your layers starting at the bottom to create volume. It also creates something for the back of your hair that can curl in as well.
#24 The Warm-Toned Layered Midi with Center Part

The warm undertones in the hair also add to the style.
#25 The Swoopy Curtain-Banged Brunette Midi
Medium-density brunette midi length with curtain bangs and flipped layers. Awesome for medium to thick hair since there is internal layering so you don’t get that triangle shape at the bottom. Bangs hit at the cheekbone and in about 4-5 weeks will hit the chin. A trim will be needed to avoid this. Use a round brush and blow dryer and it will give you the triangle shape at the bottom and end flip.
