Hairstyles for curly hair of medium length to the shoulders with a photo: light for every day, with bangs, for overweight

Medium hair length is one of the best in terms of care and styling time. This is especially true for owners of curly curls, because they are in constant search of the perfect hairstyle, which will take only a few minutes.

Features of curly hair

Many people believe that curly curls are strong, dense and thick. But in reality this is not the case, because this effect is achieved due to the visual volume that curls create.

Because of its structure, curly hair is most often weakened and dry, so their owners are always "confused" over the appearance of the hairstyle. Any stylist will attest that only through careful grooming can curly hair be kept in good condition.

And this is directly related to the peculiarities of their structure:

• The degree of curl is influenced by the structure of the follicle. It can be identified under a microscope. The oval shape in the section makes the hair wavy, the kidney shape - curly. This is due to the location of the hair follicle in the scalp. For curly hair, it "sits" at an angle.
• Curly and wavy hair - porous and loose. This is because as the bar grows, it bends. Due to this, the cuticle scales are in a raised state. This also explains the dryness of the curls. The natural secret due to the structure of the hair cannot reach the basic length of the hair.
• Due to natural dryness, curly hair is brittle and susceptible to heat styling. Therefore, they require intensive care with an abundance of nourishing and moisturizing ingredients.
• Most often, wavy hair is thin. They quickly get greasy, but at the same time remain dry in length. They are also difficult to fit, and after a couple of hours the styling loses its shape.

Choosing a hairstyle for curly hair according to the shape of the face

Hairstyles for curly hair of medium length should be chosen based not only on your own preferences, but also take into account the shape of the face. A haircut can correct it - visually narrow the oval, smooth out sharp features and hide flaws.

Square

Kare is a rather capricious haircut that requires grooming and careful styling. For this reason, many owners of curls refuse such a hairstyle. But in fact, a wavy bob is not just playful and attractive, but also relevant this season, when many stylists have abandoned clear lines.

A wavy square has several advantages:

• it refreshes the image and makes it complete;
• suitable for women with both narrow and wide faces, as it frames the features and smooths the proportions;
• it can be supplemented with bangs.

Hairstyles for curly hair of medium length most often need styling, and the square is no exception.

The easiest way is to straighten the curls with an iron.

Leave curls if desired you must follow a simple instruction:

1. Wash hair with shampoo for unruly hair and towel dry.
2. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb or comb and apply styling agent.
3. In the process of natural drying, squeeze the curls with your hands, giving them the necessary direction. And for drying with a hair dryer, a nozzle with a diffuser is suitable.
4. At the end, you can twist the front strands with tongs and secure the hairstyle with varnish.

Bean

The main advantage of the bob hairstyle is the preservation of the styling, so there is no need to worry that the curls will fall apart in a couple of hours. If you do not straighten your hair, then the haircut is suitable for owners of thin hair without volume.

Features of the hairstyle:

• the bob has several variations - short (hair does not reach the earlobes), elongated (hair is shorter in the back, and longer in front), asymmetrical;
• due to the short length, the hair rises at the roots and acquires visual volume;
• can be worn as a lined version, or keep natural curls;
• it is better to choose a bob without straight bangs so as not to create a "dandelion" effect.

An easy way to style a bob is to blow-dry your hair with a diffuser and apply wax to the ends to add softness to your style. With an uneven hair structure, you will need a curling iron with a large diameter or a conical curling iron, with which you can make a quick hairstyle.

Execution algorithm:

1. Apply foam to damp hair.
2. Divide dry hair into two parts by parting and start curling: first, wind the lower strands, then the upper ones.
3. Front curls need to be twisted "from the face". At the end, you need to break the strands with your fingers and secure them with varnish.

Ladder

This is an easy way to keep your hair long while still opening up your face. The ladder does not require frequent updating, since it will not initially look too pronounced on wavy hair, as on straight hair.

There are several options for styling the ladder on curly hair:

• Ends inward - you need to use a hairdryer and a round brush for it. The air flow is directed from top to bottom, and the comb makes circular movements towards the face. It is also better to style the rest of the length so that the hairstyle has a certain shape.
• Face ends - the principle of laying differs from that described above in that here the brush moves in the opposite direction. This hairstyle looks great at a length just below the shoulders.
• Natural curls Is the easiest way to style curly hair. It is enough to apply foam on them and dry them in the usual way.If the natural curl is uneven and the hair is too porous, then the front strands can be twisted slightly with tongs.

It is important to monitor the condition of the "ladder", as it does not tolerate split ends and dangling ends, so you should especially carefully look after the front strands and nourish them with masks and oils as much as possible.

Cascade

Often, owners of wavy hair complain that the curls create volume not at the roots, but along the length. But with a cascade, there will be no such problem, since due to several levels of strands, the entire volume will be concentrated at the top, and the hairstyle takes shape. But in order for it to be correct, the master must correctly select the depth of the steps.

For thin hair, smooth transitions are needed, and for thick and coarse ones, more pronounced ones are made. Hairstyle "cascade" for medium length is quite simple. Curly hair, when cut correctly, will fall as it should, even with minimal effort on the part of a woman.

To do this, you can do this simple styling:

1. Wash your hair and apply a moisturizing conditioner or balm.
2. Apply foam to towel-dried hair. For curls to have a pronounced texture, you can use a salt spray. It will create a beachy look.
3. Dry hair 80% with a hair dryer using a diffuser. To add even more volume, tilt your head down while drying.

Aurora

This is a versatile haircut that suits all face types. It creates natural volume at the crown and softly frames the face. If desired, you can add bangs to correct your forehead and cheekbones.

Features of its implementation and socks:

• pronounced crown, length made in the "cascade" technique, maximally profiled tips;
• does not require styling on uniform curls;
• not suitable for owners of too thin and curly hair that looks like fluff. In this case, it is better to choose a shorter length in order to leave the main density.

With the right technique, the hairstyle requires almost no styling. Styling products can only weigh down the hair, which will completely violate the concept of a haircut. Powder can be applied to the roots for volume, and the curls themselves can be dried with a hairdryer with a diffuser.

Shag

This is a hairstyle that purposefully preserves the natural structure of the hair. It is distinguished by carelessness, since the hair along the entire length is cut in smooth levels and milled. Due to this, the curl keeps its shape and volume well. Most often, a haircut is complemented by a bang, but without a clear shape.

The main plus of styling is simple drying with a hairdryer without a round brush, which is completely contraindicated for the perky "shaggy".

To further highlight the curls, you can use the texturizing spray and diffuser attachment, then beat the strands with your hands. If the tips of the levels are too curled or bulge up, they can be "calmed" with an iron at a low temperature.

Gavroche

Coming from the 70s, this hairstyle is regaining its relevance. It has an unusual appearance and a minimum of maintenance, so it is suitable for courageous people who do not want to spend a lot of time on styling.

Gavroche is characterized by the following features:

• pronounced crown with soft but noticeable borders to the chin or cheekbones;
• the transition to the main hair length begins from the temporal zone;
• milled length.

Owners of thin, thin hair should avoid too pronounced volume and long strands, as the head will take on unnatural proportions.

To emphasize the texture of the hairstyle and give the curls a neat look, you will need mousse or a special spray:

1. Apply a little styling product to wet hair.
2. Then you can start drying the crown. To do this, pull the strands up with a comb and shape the hairstyle with your hands.

Haircuts with bangs

Hairstyles for medium-length curly hair are often complemented with oblique or torn bangs. This helps to create additional volume in the face and adjust its proportions.

Straight and heavy bangs don't work for curly hair for two reasons. 1st - this is the difficulty in laying and the rapid loss of its appearance, especially in wet weather. The 2nd is not a combination of a clear, even cut at the level of the eyebrows with the total mass of hair.

Features of doing hairstyles with bangs for curly hair:

• bangs are selected depending on the structure of the curls;
• for the first experiments, it is better not to make too short a bang, but start with an elongated one - to the level of the tips of the lips or chin;
• bangs that cover the entire forehead are suitable for owners of a narrow and elongated face, but it is better to profile its ends and not make it too thick;
• oblique and torn bangs narrow the face.

It is important to remember that bangs, as opposed to length, almost always need styling.

Everyday

To diversify your everyday styling for loose hair, you should take a closer look at the various hairstyle options. The simplest and most commonplace is the tail. It can be low, high, sideways.

It's quite simple to do it:

1. Dry your hair in the usual way.
2. Gather hair to the required level and tie with an elastic band.
3. To hide the elastic, you need to take a thin strand of hair from the total mass of hair and wrap it around the tail, and fix the tip invisible.

Curly hair in airy weave looks very beautiful.

For example, it can be a side braid, which is done in this way:

1. Part from the comfortable side and transfer the entire length of hair to the side from which the braid will be braided.
2. Take a section of hair, divide it into 3 sections and start to weave a regular braid.
3. At the next level, you need to add free strands on one and the other side.
4. So weave the braid up to the level of the earlobe. It is important that it "move" vertically.
5. Then weave the rest of the hair like a regular braid. At the end, fix it with a transparent elastic band. If desired, you can stretch the strands to add volume to the hairstyle.

Another simple option to collect hair is to make a "malvinka". To do this, collect the upper strands at the crown, lightly comb them for volume and tie with an elastic band. The entire tip can be bundled and fixed with an invisibility.

Festive

To complement their festive outfit, many straight hair owners curl their hair on purpose. Girls with natural curls do not need this, since the base for the hairstyle is already there. Twisted tourniquets will go with any outfit and occasion.

The hairstyle is done quite quickly and easily:

1. Style your hair in the usual way for textured curls.
2. On one and the other side of the parting, take one strand at a time and twist them from the face into bundles.
3. At the back, connect and tie with a transparent elastic band. The hairstyle can be supplemented with a hairpin studded with stones.
4. To add playfulness, release a couple of facial hairs.

A bun is a classic that complements an off-the-shoulder dress.

For curly hair, a low volume option is suitable:

1. Divide hair into two parts - upper and lower.
2. Collect the lower part of the hair in a semi-bundle, the ends of which are fixed around the elastic.
3. From the top of the hair, take one strand at a time and wrap it around the bottom bun. Hide the ends of the strands inside the hairstyle with the help of invisibility.

For those who want to leave their hair loose, but add festiveness to it, a hairstyle with curls on the side is suitable:

1. Blow dry hair with a diffuser.
2. Lay the front strands with an iron from the face.
3. Then throw all the hair to one side.
4. From the side of the opposite temple, smoothly comb the hair and fix it with several invisible ones, then sprinkle the hair with varnish.

For fat girls

Lush forms can be corrected not only with the right clothes, but also with the hairstyle. Both short and long hair are suitable for overweight girls, but it is the average length that is optimal.

You can make the following haircuts on it:

1. Classic cascade with side bangs.It is important for a girl not to create too much volume and style her hair away from her face.
2. Elongated square to the shoulder line. A round face can be corrected by adding bangs to one side.
3. Graduated bob. It has no clear lines, so it gently frames the face and refreshes the image.

Dyeing curly hair

Because of its texture, curly hair responds well to dye pigment, but due to its natural dryness, it can easily be damaged. Therefore, rule number one is to dye your hair with a trusted master, and not with household dyes at home.

To emphasize curls and add highlights to your hair, you should give preference to these techniques:

• highlighting;
• balayazh;
• shatush;
• ombre.

They suggest lightening the hair, which adds visual volume to the hairstyle and generally refreshes the image. Monochromatic dyeing is already a classic, but it looks less advantageous on curly hair... In addition, the above techniques do not affect the hair roots, which significantly reduces the harm of the dye.

After dyeing, it is important to use a care aimed at maintaining color and restoring hair.

Tips for styling your curls correctly

Hairstyles for medium-length curly hair require at least minimal styling. Unfortunately, the structure of the curls is porous, and this makes the curls unruly and shapeless. To avoid this, there are some simple guidelines.

It is necessary:

• use styling products - they will not only add texture to the curls, but also fix the styling;
• Apply styling to towel-dried hair
• comb wet curls with a comb with rare teeth - start from the ends, moving to the crown;
• when drying with a hairdryer, use a diffuser nozzle, with its help, raise the length of the hair to the roots;
• if you dry your hair without using a hair dryer, then in the process of combing and drying, form curls with your hands;
• be sure to use thermal protection and nourishing masks to reduce exposure to high temperatures.

Curly hair care

1. First you need to pick up a shampoo. Best suited for this purpose are specially formulated products marked "for curly (curly) hair". In the process of washing, it is enough to massage only the roots, the length should not be rubbed. The dripping foam will wash it away.
2. This is followed by a conditioner or balm. It must be applied to damp hair. To do this, just pat them dry with a towel.
3. 1-2 times a week, you need to do a nourishing and moisturizing commercial mask. You can also apply base oils to the full length before washing. But it is important not to overeat the hair and do this procedure as a course - 1-2 months.
4. Brush your hair with extreme care. For this, combs with sparse, rounded teeth are suitable.
5. Apply an indelible product before combing. Before using a hair dryer, you should not forget about thermal protection and styling.
6. For those who often do styling, once every two weeks you need to wash your hair with a deep cleaning shampoo, after which a nourishing mask is applied.

A well-chosen hairstyle and a haircut for medium curly hair makes it unnecessary to use an iron on a daily basis. On the contrary, it will reveal the natural beauty of the curls, which will take a minimum of time and effort.
