When it comes to men's hairstyles, the options are often limited to short or long hair. However, the in-between option has become increasingly popular among men in recent years - medium-length hairstyles. 

They offer a versatile and stylish option for those who want to switch up their look without committing to either extreme. In this blog post, we will discuss three of the best medium-length hairstyles for men.

If you are the kind of person who cannot decide what length of hair you want for yourself, if you are the kind of person who is torn between long hairstyles and short hairstyles, if you often find yourself regretting going really long or really short with your hair - you can find a way to experiment with your hair without committing to any extreme length. 

Not only is medium length hair much easier to style, it really does combine the best of shorter and longer hair. Like short hair, it requires much less product to be styled to perfection. Like long hair, it is much more flexible when it comes to styling it in different ways. 

In fact, if you go for a medium length hairstyle you will actually have more time to figure out whether you want to go into the extremes of length.  Essentially, going for a medium length hairstyle means buying yourself more time before you commit to one particular kind of hairstyle. 

And if you are looking to give more volume to your hair, while trying to avoid the fussing that comes with longer length - this might be the best option for you.

So, without any further ado, look into our guide on the best kind of hairstyles you can have with medium length hair

The Classic Side Part

The classic side part is a timeless hairstyle that has been around for decades. It involves parting the hair on one side of the head and combing it to the other side. 

This style is perfect for men who want a polished, professional look. It works well for all hair types, from straight to curly, and can be easily maintained with regular trims. To achieve this look, use a high-quality pomade or wax to keep the hair in place.

The Messy Textured Crop

The messy textured crop is a more casual and relaxed hairstyle that has gained popularity in recent years. This style involves cutting the hair short on the sides and leaving it longer on top, creating a textured, messy look. 

It works well for men with thick, wavy hair and can be easily styled with a bit of product and some finger-combing. The messy textured crop is a great option for guys who want a low-maintenance, yet stylish look.

The Modern Quiff

The modern quiff is a modern twist on a classic hairstyle. It involves keeping the hair longer on top and shorter on the sides, creating a voluminous, textured look. The hair on top is styled upward and back, creating a "quiff" shape.

This style works well for men with thick, straight hair and can be easily maintained with regular trims and a bit of product, such as a matte paste or clay. The modern quiff is a great option for guys who want a stylish, edgy look.

5 Best Medium Length Hairstyles For Men

Thick Brushed Up Hair + Temp Fade + Thin Facial Hair

One of the best combinations you can try with medium length hair is having your hair thick and brushed up with a temp fade along with thin facial hair.

This hairstyle is a little on the bolder side, strictly because of the amount of volume it has at the centre.

The other important thing when it comes to this hairstyle is that you will have to use a generous amount of product to give the hair at your centre a good hold. 

But if you can teach yourself how to style your hair in this particular manner, you will have a really versatile hairstyle in hand.  

This is the kind of hairstyle where you need to have some kind of personal knowledge about styling your own hair - but it will pay off. 

You can also add a hint of a color that complements your hair, because it adds more texture to your style. Also, the temp fade will add a neatness to the haircut.

Textured Mid Length Hairstyle

If you want a retro hairstyle for yourself with medium length hair, we recommend going with a textured mid length hairstyle. 

This is the kind of timeless hairstyle that compliments every single outfit. There is a certain old-world charm to it, which fits in really well with the modern styling of the hair. 

Also, this gives a lot of volume to your hair. Getting the right kind of texture for this hairstyle is largely dependent on how good you are at styling your own hair. 

It is best to go in with a lighter product, because lighter products help with getting the tousled appearance of it right - while heavier products might actually weigh your hair down despite the fact that they give you a reasonably good hold. 

You can also make the texture of your hair more elegant by adding slides streaks of color to highlight certain strands.

Mid Fade + Textured Medium Hair + Stubble

If you liked the previous hairstyle, you're going to really love this one - especially if you are a fan of having a certain amount of facial hair. 

For this hairstyle, we are going to keep the medium length hair textured with a lot of volume on the centre, but we are also going to introduce a mid-fade along with a stubble. 

This is a very good combination of old world and modern, and it is particularly good for those who want to draw attention to their hairstyle. Also, because all of the volume is concentrated on the centre of the head, that is the part that you have to pay most attention to. 

You can ask your personal stylist to help you out with the kind of texture that suits your face the most, or you can conduct some personal experiments by styling your texture in different ways. 

In any case, keep your hair well-conditioned, so that styling it is really fuss-free.

Side Swept Hair + Classic Tapered Sides + Groomed Beard

Of course, even your medium length hair can be slightly on the longer side. This would make for the perfect hairstyle for those who prefer longer hair. 

Keep the longer strands of the centre set towards the side, combine it with classic tapered sides and groom your beard to complement the hairstyle.

As you can see in the hairstyle here, the most striking element of it is the highlights that have been added to the longer strands at the centre. 

To get this hairstyle right, you will have to really coordinate with your stylist. Also, the beard is groomed really meticulously here, so if you are the kind of person who shaves their beard themselves, you will need some practice with the neatness of the beard.

Modern Pompadour + Undercut Fade + Beard

You can also go for a modern pompadour with an undercut fade and a beard.  Pompadour hairstyles somehow manage to look both retro and modernistic, and they have a very natural edge about them. 

Bear in mind that pompadour hairstyles require generous care, so not only can they be really tricky to maintain on a personal level, you will also have to visit your stylist regularly, to make sure that the undercut fade looks neat, and that the parting of your hair isn't messed up. 

The parting here, of course, is not similar to the side parting we have seen in the other hairstyles. 

This is the parting that draws attention to the pompadour, so you will need to put in some attention to maintaining it on a personal level. 

Pompadours require styling products, so invest in one that works the best for your hair.
