Top 5 Layering Ideas For Mid-Curly Hair

Layered Haircut Definition

A medium-curly haircut can add definition, texture, and volume to your curls when appropriately layered. It typically sits between collarbone length and the top of your chest.

Drying Tips

Opt for a microfiber or t-shirt towel instead of traditional cotton towels when drying to maintain bouncy curls. Traditional towels may cause breakage and frizz. Also, spray on some light-hold hairspray to keep your locks in place.

Messy Lob

The lob is an elegant style worn straight or with texture. It is versatile and only takes up a little space on your head. You can add curls or loose tendrils to make a statement. Ask your stylist for an ombre technique to add bold colors to your lob and make your locks appear healthy and vibrant. A side-parted lob can beautifully frame your face, and for low-maintenance styling, blow-dry your locks with IGK Beach Club Volume Texture Spray and use a dry shampoo like Tarte’s hair Goals to rejuvenate them quickly.

Romantic Curly Bun

This stunning braided style is perfect for romantic occasions like lunch dates, dinner dates, or weddings. It works best with second and third-day curls that have loosened over time. For sleeker coils, gently comb your hair to one side before styling. Use a light hairspray to ensure your bun stays intact throughout the night. You can also enhance a twisted chignon by adding carefully placed flowers for an eye-catching updo. Pearls can add even more sophistication to this romantic hairstyle.

Shag

The shag is an adaptable and versatile style that suits curly hair. There are variations like side-swept shag pixie or wolf cuts for round face shapes and long shaggy bob haircuts with curtain bangs to balance angular features. Balayage highlights and ombre shags can emphasize natural coils in medium-length and long curly locks. For clients with wavy or curly textures, using dry shampoo as an oil-absorbing product before styling is advised.

Stacked Curls

Stacked curls are a classy yet casual way to showcase natural curly hair. This sophisticated style fits perfectly with both round and diamond face cuts. Apply texturizer before curling ironing to create thick and tight coils to achieve the look. Spray your locks with hairspray to secure and maintain them. Adding highlights, like deep maroon, to your hair color can make each curly strand shine and highlight its beauty. If you need more time to keep long locks, consider a short layered bob with bangs as an easy compromise. Regular trims and using products such as leave-in conditioner or curl-defining cream can help maintain this style easily.
