One of the advantages of having medium-length hair is that it is the perfect length for switching between long, flowy locks and easy updos. Hollywood stars like Emily Blunt, Chrissy Teigen and Emmy Rossum have chosen shoulder-sweeping layers over super-long hair extensions, giving them all a fresher, more youthful look.
Those of us who don't have personal glam squads on speed dial sometimes hit a wall when thinking of different ways to sport medium-length hairstyles that don't involve a hair tie.
If you've been wearing the same hairdo for weeks or even months, check out the photos below for inspiration.
