Clavi Cut: Classic hairstyle for shoulder-length hair
ItNumerous influencers, stars and models, such as Leni Klum recently, have made it big as a trend hairstyle. The shoulder-length hairstyle creates the optimal transition between a bob and a long haircut.
The name of the popular haircut comes from the English word “Clavicle”, which means “clavicle” in German. That's exactly where the shoulder-length hair ends with the Clavi Cut.
The shoulder-length hairstyle is particularly beautiful when the front strands of hair next to the face are a little longer than the rest. This creates a look like it has just been straight from the hairdresser. What's particularly great about the Clavi Cut: The haircut flatters almost every face shape and can be worn with straight hair as well as curly.
French Cut: Shoulder-length hair worn casually
Another beautiful cut for hair that ends at shoulder length is the French cut. As the name of the hairstyle suggests, we copied the French cut from French women.
The timeless cut is particularly impressive because of the slightly too long bangs, which are swept away from the face during styling so that they end at about eye level.
We particularly like the intentional “undone look” of the French cut. The hair should not lie perfectly, which is why the hairstyle appears so casual. Also great: the shoulder-length hairstyle works both as a long bob and with longer hair, but also as a classic, short bob.
Long Bob: Medium length hairstyle with styling options
A hairstyle that simply never goes out of style and has been with us for many years is the. The slightly longer bob variant is one of the top haircuts for shoulder-length hair. What makes the long bob so popular is its uncomplicated styling. Even without any effort, the medium-length cut looks great.
Beach waves or straightened hair look great with a long bob, but are absolutely not a must.
Even without a curling iron or straightener, the shoulder-length haircut makes it possible to wear your hair in a variety of ways: from an elegant, low-slung bun to a trendy half-bun to romantic braided hairstyles.

Shag hair cut with XL bangs: trendy medium-length haircut
Are you looking for a cooler haircut for shoulder-length hair? Then the shag hair cut could be just right for you. The medium length hairstyle is characterized by its layers throughout the hair, creating multiple layers of hair. The layers make the hair fall more interestingly even without styling and ensure movement.
Layered hair looks particularly rocky when combined with fringed XL bangs. If you want a feminine look, you can also wear the shag hair cut with curtain bangs, i.e. a fringe that ends at eye level and is parted in the middle.
To ensure that the shoulder-length layered cut doesn't lie flat on your head, but instead falls nice and loose, we recommend that you apply a structure spray or some hair mousse to your hair after washing. This makes it more grippy and gives it the desired volume.
Long bob with slanted bangs: More variety
Slanted bangs can give shoulder-length hair more pizzazz. The shorter strands of hair at the front of the face act like a makeover and make the hairstyle appear less severe overall.
And the bangs don't just create a new look when your hair is loose. Also any other hairstyle, like an elegant low ponytail or a trendy onelook fresher and more playful with bangs.
