Slick-back styles can help you open up the forehead and showcase your prominent features. For this look, you will need to apply some hair clay on your strands and set your brushed-back hair with a medium to strong hold spray.

When it comes to medium thin hair, layering is not the best solution – instead of boosting your hair texture and dimension, it can further decrease its thickness. Some partial hair coloring, like a professionally maintained balayage, can become a real lifesaver. Easily paired with many shoulder-length hairstyles, it allows growing hair effortlessly – warm blonde tones will delicately blend with your natural hue.

Having long or medium hair doesn’t mean you can’t enhance it with volume, shape, layers, or even lighten the load. Therefore, we encourage you to do this layered cut next time you visit your stylist. Longer layers will boost your hair fullness and emphasize your facial features in the right places.
@monroedelsolehair
The key to this exceptionally voluminous look lies in a professional blowout. But don’t worry if it’s something new and unexplored to you, as we know how to perfect your blow-drying skills. Start by applying a volumizing spray or foam, spreading it evenly through the strands, and blow-dry them from the root with a round brush. Quick and easy, but how gorgeous!
