Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

From saving time on washing to making the hair look lighter and more voluminous, there are many reasons to switch to short hair. But if the thought of chopping your locks off is too intimidating, why not start with a medium, shoulder-length haircut first?

In-between long hair and a straight-up short haircut, a shoulder-length hairstyle is long enough so you're still in your comfort zone, is flattering on most face shapes, and doesn't need regular haircuts like short do's.

A blunt cut on straight hair will give you a very avant garde look! Long bangs with a middle parting suits those with a heart-shaped face best to soften the forehead and highlight the cheekbones.

#4 IU: Medium-short hair with see-through, airy bangs

Short hair already has the effect of making some of us look younger, but pairing it with Korean-style airy bangs will give you an even more youthful and cute look.

#5 Hwasa: Long, textured A-line bob with side parting

This timeless haircut coupled with a side parting suits many face shapes from round and oval to square and heart. Style it straight or add some waves with sea salt spray for an effortlessly edgy look.

#6 JeongYeon: Shoulder-length short hair with waves and curtain bangs

Voluminous, medium length wavy hair is a universally flattering look that'll suit most face shapes. If you have an oval or heart-shaped face, you'll probably be able to pull off short curtain bangs like Jung Yeon. If not, stick to regular bangs or go fringe-less!

#7 Jenn Im: Straight & sleek shoulder-length bob

This sleek, straight long bob is a classic hairstyle that has sophisticated, high fashion vibes. It's relatively low maintenance besides having to curl the ends towards the face if you don't have naturally stick-straight hair.

If you're concerned that this hairstyle might look flat, check out an easy way to style your middle parting to look voluminous in just 30 seconds.

#8 Pony: Shoulder-length short hair with ends curled outwards

A less common medium length hairstyle is letting the ends qiao, aka curl, outwards like they naturally would when hitting the shoulders. Although the more popular look is to have the ends curled inwards, this outward curl will give you a natural, cutesy look.
