Interest in how to make a beautiful hairstyle remains relevant in any situation. Most girls and women want to look beautiful and well-groomed both in everyday life and during a celebration.
There are a lot of options for hairstyles and styling for owners of medium-length hair. Consider the simplest and most beautiful of them.
Hairstyles and styling: what's the difference?
Many people confuse the concepts of hairstyles and styling, and therefore there are difficulties with the choice. The styling already hints at the fact that it involves certain manipulations with the hair, as a result of which they neatly and beautifully lie down.
Such manipulations can be:
- Drying wet hair with a hairdryer and a round comb, thanks to which the ends of the strands are twisted in or out. Also, you can raise the roots with a round comb, so that the styling will become more voluminous.
- Drying wet hair with a diffuser or hair dryer. This method is a little more complicated, but also has its own results. The hair dryer comb usually has a round nozzle that resembles a regular round comb. The diffuser gives the effect of small curls, although it may not be suitable for everyone.
- Curling wet hair into curlers, followed by drying with a hairdryer. Before starting to wind the strands on the curlers, you can treat the hair with mousse so that the styling lasts longer.
- Straightening already dried hair with an iron.
- Curling dry hair with an iron, curling iron or tongs.
- Corrugation of dry strands using special forceps. You can also use the same forceps to create a volume at the roots of the hair. If you use spray thermal protection, corrugating the roots can be a safer action for hair than combing.
Hair styling to the shoulders is somewhat simple, because owners of hair of this length do not spend much time on styling.
Sometimes hairstyles are made on the basis of styling. For example, from curled locks beautiful waves are formed on the head with the help of invisibility or based on the chic volume at the roots created with the help of a round comb, they make a high hairstyle.
Hairstyles suggest any additional actions with the hair: stabbing, braiding, and so on.
Which is better to choose: hairstyle or hairstyle?
Hairstyle or hair styling to the shoulders is usually quite fast. Sometimes styling even takes longer.
There is no definite answer, which is better: a hairstyle or styling, since first of all you need to start from the personal preferences of the girl. In the case of everyday hairstyles, everything is simpler. If we are talking about an event, then its character, place and time also play a role.
In this case, hairdressers-stylists recommend trying in advance to do the styling and hairstyles that you like, in order to subsequently evaluate their appearance, see how they look at you and find out exactly how much time and effort they take.

If you go to a beauty salon, it’s also worthwhile to try a hairstyle or styling in advance. The wizard will most likely do everything neatly, but you can make sure that you like the result so that you don’t get upset before the event.
Stacking with irons, tongs and pads
You can straighten and curl your hair with a straight plate iron. Nippers and curling irons suggest only curling, but the variety of their models is so huge that you can opt for literally any shape and size of curls. When choosing tongs or curling irons for styling hair to the shoulders, models are usually chosen that will create large, light curls, curling them literally only at the ends, since small curls can be created much easier and faster in other ways. The most popular of them - curlers.
Irons with wide wavy plates allow you to make a corrugation effect, which must be approached with caution: it does not look very good on medium-length hair, if it is fully corrugated. With such an iron, you can add volume at the roots. In this case, it is better not to touch the upper strands at all (well, just comb it), or straighten it with an iron with even plates. Thus, a sharp transition from the corrugation on the roots to straight hair along the entire length will not be particularly noticeable.
Irons in general greatly facilitate hair styling to the shoulders with a bang. This is their undeniable advantage. With this tool, you won’t have to worry about how to style your hair to your shoulders. Thanks to its versatility, you can straighten or curl the bulk of the hair with an iron, and the bangs styling process will be much easier, and the effect will be neat: the bangs will turn out smooth and glossy, will not fluff.
Accessories for hairstyles

- different types of hairpins;
- tiaras;
- headbands, hoops;
- decorative hairpins with a decorated tip;
- and much more.
It is important not to overdo it with accessories and choose them in accordance with the event.
Casual hairstyles

On medium-length hair, you can braid a braid called "French Falls". She weaves behind and suggests that the hair will remain loose, but decorated with interesting weaving. Also, a "spikelet" is often braided in the center of the head, starting from the forehead itself. The spikelet can be braided to the end, but only a part can be braided, fixed with a dense hairpin and leave the hair loose. It’s better to first fix such a “spikelet” with silicone rubber, and then with a hairpin - this will ensure the strength of the hairstyle. This option also helps to remove the long bangs, if it interferes.
Another option is the French braid. It looks very voluminous, especially if you stretch the strands. On medium-length hair it will not work to braid this braid in the center, it is better to weave obliquely. If you do not want to collect hair, then grab locks on only one side, not two. If you pick up strands on both sides, then the whole hair will end up in a braid, and the tip of the braid can be tied with an elastic band, and then fixed with hairpins or invisible. Thus, all your hair will be collected, which is very relevant and convenient for the hot season.

The main thing is not to cross the thin line between moderate frivolity and bad taste, and even less vulgarity. That is why graduation hairstyles can be airy, a little sloppy (especially since slight negligence, naturalness is one of the trends in 2017 and 2018).
Weaving is also suitable for graduation hairstyles. Hair to the shoulders allows you to partially or completely remove them into a beautiful braid. And it will be even practical: graduation ceremonies take place in the summer, at this time it is very hot, and loose hair can interfere a little.
