The perfect length of hair to have is medium. It's not too long and not too short. It's just the right length for maintenance and for styling as well.

Since we tend to follow hairstyle trends that we see a majority of people around us sporting, here are some of the coolest and hottest ones in 2012. Read them, try them, and enjoy your new look!

Side-swept Bangs: Bangs never really go out of style. That's what makes them such a versatile hairstyle. Bangs with any type and length of hair look brilliant, so medium hair is just perfect. The trend in 2012 is going to be side-swept bangs, so make sure you take special care of them. Leave them be or fasten them to the side using fancy glimmering pins with open or tied hair.

Fringes: Fringes are back, and how! It's no longer just shiny-shoed school girls who'll sport fringes. Models on the ramp, celebrities on the red carpet and even on various TV shoes and movies; they're all turning to fringes to get an instant makeover. That ought to be your cue if you watch the fashion circuit closely to be in touch with the latest fashion trends.

Waves: Just pick up any latest fashion magazine, turn on any sitcom, or any reality show and you'll find one thing in common: wavy hairstyles. Nearly all women are sporting a wavy hairstyle, no matter what the length of their hair is. Women with naturally wavy hair can't be happier, while the others can always get mild waves or perms. Give the waves a shiny wet look and you're all set!

Layers: The thing about layers is that no matter what length your hair is, they look simply gorgeous! Medium length hair is as good as a bonus. This year too, layers are the most popular hairstyles for medium length hair. The type of hair doesn't really matter. Curly, straight, sleek, wavy; whatever type your hair is, just get them cut into some glorious layers, and enjoy your brand new bouncy mane!

Tips for Haircuts
  • As far as the cuts for 2012 are concerned, know this: this year, it's all about volume. So, when you go to your hairdresser, ask him to do something to your hair that will give it said volume. If you already have naturally thick hair, then all you need is a cute haircut to further accentuate it.
  • The best way to go this year is hairstyles with bangs and layers. If you thought that bangs were hot last year, this year they're sizzling! That's right. If you're planning on cutting your hair, then ask the hairdresser to throw in a few bangs. Keep them well maintained with regular trimming.
  • Another cut that's really popular is the bob. Whether it's a regular bob or an inverted bob, this one's a definite show stopper. So, get your hair cut into a fashionable bob and rule your local fashion circuit.
  • Choppy haircuts are the next big thing for medium hair. Get some gorgeous choppy layers and flaunt them with a messy, out-of-bed look.
  • If you're thinking naughty yet nice, then you can have a few of your strands streaked.
  • For a casual occasion, just blow dry your bangs and leave the rest as it is, if you have wavy hair. If it's straight hair that you have, then use bright colored clips to fasten some portions of your hair in such a way that it looks carefully, casually styled.
Well then, if you're ready to try these hairstyles, then you know you're ready for a major transformation. Have fun!
