With medium hair an updo can be accomplished rather easily.  It may be difficult to accomplish if your hair has many short layers, however it is still easier to accomplish than with short hair.  There are several types of updos that can be done with medium length hair. It is best to know your hair type to help determine which style will work best for you.  Once you have figured out your hair type, straight, curly, wavy, thick, coarse, smooth etc. you can begin pulling your hair up.

One style that looks great with medium length hair is a French twist.  To achieve this look take your hair and simply twist it tightly once the hair is in a tight twist bring the hair up to the back of the head and pin it up.  It is a simple and elegant look that takes no time at all to achieve.  Another great updo for medium hair is a curly updo.  To get this look you simply use a curling iron or hot rollers to add curl to your hair, if it is straight, if not use a styling product to enhance your already natural curls.  Pull your hair back and pin it up allowing some of the curls to hang softly to add volume and the appearance of an easy relaxed look.

There are a lot of great accessories that will compliment your medium updo.  You can find rhinestone bobby pins, which will add a bit of glamour to your look.  You can use special combs or clips which will allow you to put your hair up and enhance the look you are going for.  And last but not least remember the best accessory of all, hairspray.  Hairspray is a great tool to keep your hair in place once it’s been pined up.  The goal of the medium updo is to help you accomplish your desired look for the day or evening.  Updos can be both elegant and edgy.  So have fun with the look you are going for.
