11 Prom Hairstyles For Medium Hair In 2016

Sometimes women with medium length hair can feel a little left out of the style game — their hair isn't long enough for a rainbow french Kylie Jenner braid, but also not short enough for the slicked back Emma Watson 2016 Met Gala look. This year, check out some prom hairstyles for medium length hair that prove girls with shoulder-length locks can still have just as much fun.

Despite the difficulties, there are many advantages to having medium length hair. For example, short-haired women have trouble with up-dos and holding strands in place, while long hair can look damaged if not maintained regularly. Also, there's just so darn much! Medium length hair is easy to style, easy to manage, and it looks great with essentially any outfit. Additionally, you can either chop or grow when you feel like it. Eventually, everyone returns to medium length hair.
