This trend gets the A-list seal of approval
If a bob feels like a little too drastic a hair transformation right now, you can always swap out long locks for something in-between. Cue, the tailored midi cut – this season’s most versatile (and noncommittal) hair trend.
What Is A Tailored Midi Cut?
‘A tailored midi cut is essentially a mid length cut,’ explains Tina Farey, Editorial Director of RUSH Hair. So not as short as a bob, but also not long enough to be considered long. ‘It enables the individual to go shorter without losing out on too much length. The tailored aspect comes in with layers, which give it a more defined and dimensional feel. Plus plenty of movement.’
It’s this ‘tailored’ aspect that gives the hairstyle its fame, as it can easily be adapted to suit the individual. ‘I think that the tailored midi cut has soared in popularity thanks to its versatile nature,’ agrees Tina. ‘Many clients see their long locks as a safety blanket, while also wanting to try out shorter styles. This is where the tailored midi cut comes in. You can have a lot of fun with this cut – think overexaggerated wispy layers cascading down the length of the hair. A total bombshell moment.’
And with a whopping 93.3 million posts tagged under #midhaircut on TikTok, it’s safe to say that this length gets the thumbs up from Gen Z. The same can be said for a number of celebrities. ‘Jodie Comer, Matilda Djerf, Kaia Gerber and Selena Gomez have all been spotted with this cut,’ says Tina. ‘It’s going to be the “It-Girl” look for AW24.’

Who Suits This Cut?
As mentioned, this is a highly versatile cut. ‘It suits almost any face shape,’ confirms Tina. ‘The style of this cut will only accentuate your facial features and harmonise your overall look. It’s also a great option for those with thinner hair as it gives the illusion of fuller, thicker looking hair, that is beaming with volume.’
How To Ask For A Tailored Midi Cut In The Salon?
‘When in the chair, ask your stylists for a length that sits somewhere in between the top of your shoulders and just above your collarbone, with various lengths of soft layers placed throughout,’ advises Tina. ‘If you’re looking for a more texturised finished, I’d recommend asking for more shorter layers to achieve that volumized blow-out look.’
To get your vision across, you can also bring reference images for your stylist to work from.

How To Style A Tailored Midi Cut
This is the perfect cut for achieving that big, bouncy blow-out look. ‘I’d always recommend blow drying your layers with a round brush to achieve that finish,’ says Tina. ‘When it comes to the tailored midi cut: the bigger, the better!’
How To Maintain A Tailored Midi Cut
While it might not need as much maintenance as a bob, it’s still worth taking the extra steps to make sure your hair continues to look and feel good. ‘With all haircuts, it’s always recommended that you get your hair cut every six to eight weeks to maintain the length,’ advises Tina. ‘The same goes for tailored midi cuts. This cut requires a lot of styling, so be sure to always use a heat protectant to prevent the hair from becoming damaged.’
