Katie Holmes New Mid Length Hairstyle

Katie Holmes Mid Length Hairstyle is a Hit!!

My hair salon is buzzing about Katie Holmes’ new mid length hairstyle that she debuted on the November cover of Elle Magazine. My clients are not the only ones who have fallen head over heels for this mid length hairstyle. Internet blogs and discussion boards are buzzing about this new mid length hairstyle too!

“New Mid Length Hairstyle”How to Get this Mid Length Hairstyle

Katie has naturally smooth, straight hair that is of a medium thickness. This hair type is ideal for this mid length hairstyle, but not absolutely necessary to get the end result.
If you have hair like Katie’s, ask your hairdresser to cut a mid length bob with layering throughout and lots of texture.

To style it, blow dry until 75% dry and then use a round brush to dry the rest into this style. Use a small amount of wax to get the texture and piecey-ness seen on Katie’s hairstyle.

If your hair is thick and wavy like mine, you’ll want to ask your hair dresser for basically the same thing but have them add additional texture to get this hairstyle to lay just right. I would suggest blow drying with a paddle brush and flat ironing hair, flipping out the ends. Use a bit of pomade on the ends to add texture and shine.

If you have thin and/or fine hair, you’ll want to ask for layering but have your hair dresser go easy on the texturizing as it can thin out your hair too much. Use a root amplifier like Sexy Hair, Big Sexy Hair Root Pump or other volumizing products, instead of texturizing hair products, which may weigh down your hair, to create Katie’s mid length hairstyle.

This new mid length hairstyle has got to be my favorite ‘Katie Holmes’ hairstyle. Here’s a look back at past Katie Holmes Hairstyles:

This hairstyle is just ho-hum. Long, one-length light brown hair doesn’t do much for this girl.

Although this long hairstyle is youthful, it still isn’t the ideal hairstyle for Katie.

Although I thought this was a bold hairstyle for Katie to go to, I think there were better styles to come on her.

Homecoming Hairstyles for Medium Length Hair

A side-swept up-style is hot, hot, hot on the red carpet right now, which makes it even hotter for you to wear it as your homecoming hairstyle. This hairstyle is simplistic with an understated elegance, perfect for homecoming night and it works with both curly and straight hair types.

To get this look you will want to go for the shine, so get out your favorite cuticle flattening tools and your favorite shiny products, like Paul Mitchell Shine Drops. For many of you this style may work best on second day hair. Experiment and see what works best for you!

Then simply  gather your hair into a low side ponytail and secure with an elastic hair band.  Gather the length of the ponytail and using bobby pins, pin the hair up into the base of the ponytail. Style your bangs or short pieces of hair in front and voila, you’ve got a gorgeous homecoming hairstyle.

One way to show off the long length of your hair is by wearing it ultra smooth and sleek. This simple homecoming hairstyle will give you the ultimate chic look.

Start the style by smoothing a straightening serum through hair and then blow drying hair straight with a paddle brush. Next, flat iron strands in small sections so that all of your hair is very smooth, very straight and very sleek. Again, remember to go for the most shine you can get with this homecoming hairstyle by adding your favorite shine serum. (Another favorite of mine - Moroccanoil Oil Treatment

This style would look fabulous with an equally sleek homecoming gown.
