Best Prom and Homecoming Hairstyles for Medium-Length Hair

Between the pixie cut and the mermaid mane sits an in-between state known as medium-length hair. The lob — which every celeb in the world seems to have tried lately — is a prime example of this. From Cara Delevingne to Kendall Jenner to Selena Gomez, it seems that our favorite stars can't get enough of the low-commitment chop. The look is fresh, modern, and long enough to stay versatile — especially for prom night. Whether you want to wear your strands up in a braided, twisty updo or are going for more of the undone, beachy look, there are plenty of ways to style your them. Or, maybe you want to play with all the super dreamy hair pins, barrettes, and crowns — and there's no better opportunity than the biggest dance of the year.

Still deciding? Take a cue from one of these 11 chic ladies and their shoulder-length manes. From Lucy Hale's middle-parted bedhead to Yara Shahidi's red carpet updo, you're sure to find your perfect match.
