You know, Goldilocks was onto something. She knew you don’t always have to settle for one thing or the other—hot or cold, big or small—and we know exactly what she’d say when her hairstylist asked what length haircut she wants for her golden blonde locks. She’d want it to be not too short, but not too long: jussst right. Oh hello, medium hairstyles, didn’t see you there. 
The beauty of a mid-length haircut can only be attributed to the signature in-betweenness of it. There’s comfort knowing you don’t have to fully commit to one side of the spectrum. We’re all just people pleasers at heart, no? From shoulder-grazing to collarbone-skimming lengths, and from long bobs to ultra-layered locks, these medium blonde hairstyles run the gamut—because being just right doesn’t mean being boring.
Here are 25 mid-length blonde hairstyles to bring to the salon.

Things we’re grateful for: puppies, hot biscuits, and the fact that shag haircuts never really went out of style.

Textured Straight Cut

Taking it back to a classic. Straight can be just as fun as curly if you make sure to pump up the volume and texture.

Curls basically do the work for you, as long as you get them there with help from layers and a sassy short length.

Rooty Face-Framing Cut

You’ll love dressing up this haircut with a slightly teased half-up style, mark our words. Leave out two face-framing pieces to complement your cheekbones.

Long Layers

If you’re more of a low-key kind of gal, ask for low-maintenance layers to add just a bit of movement to mid-length hair.

Textured Blonde Ponytail

So maybe this one isn’t a cut—but a medium-length hairstyle happens to be just perfect for a textured ponytail look. Agreed?

Or just forgo the layers altogether. It won’t get any more low maintenance than a layerless cut.
