'Midi Flick': The layered haircut that's rejuvenating and super comfortable for summer.

If you're looking for a new hairstyle to keep you comfortable this summer but don't want to give up the ability to style it anytime, I've got a new idea for you to be fashionable and stylish these coming months: the midi flick .

To learn more about this layered, rejuvenating haircut, we spoke with Carlos Oliveras Segarra, a LA MOTA® collaborator and director of the OLIVERAS Hair Spa Salon in Madrid and the two LUX Organic salons in Barcelona.

The 'midi flick', the updated midi cut

According to Carlos Oliveras, the 'midi flick' is "an updated and very versatile version of the classic midi cut , with a casual twist: the tips are worked with an outward movement , creating that "flick" or flipped effect that provides freshness and style effortlessly."

It's a midi cut because "it's usually worn at shoulder length or slightly above , with soft layers that allow for a playful mix of textures. It's not a straight or overly polished cut, but rather one that seeks naturalness with a chic and carefree touch," says the expert hairstylist.

The midi flick, perfect for summer

The midi flick is a perfect summer haircut because it's " fresh, light, and easy to maintain . It doesn't require long styling sessions: a little texturizing product or a good air-drying gives you that cool finish. Plus, because it's mid-length, it doesn't overwhelm you in the heat and allows for quick updos if needed. It's ideal for those who want to style their hair without complications," adds Carlos Oliveras.

Ideal for straight, wavy or slightly curly hair

The director of the OLIVERAS Hair Spa Salon in Madrid explains that the midi flick "works especially well on straight, wavy, and slightly curly hair . The layers and flicked finish help add volume and movement , which is perfect for fine hair looking for body."

For his part, Carlos Oliveras points out: "It also looks spectacular on thicker hair if the structure of the cut is well worked out to avoid excessive weight . The important thing is to adapt it to the density and type of curl or natural shape of the hair."

The 'midi flick' points out the director of the two LUX Organics salons in Barcelona: "It's a very adaptable cut. On elongated faces, it helps balance by giving volume to the sides . On round or square faces, the effect of the outward layers softens and stylizes the contours."

As always with a good professional, "the key is adjusting the length , angle of the layers, and type of flick to enhance each client's features. I always customize it to their face and lifestyle," says Carlos Oliveras.
