Curly hair can be stunningly gorgeous, but it can look heavy and flat without layers. Consult with your stylist about adding strategically-placed layers for structure and movement in your locks.
Layers can add volume and structure to wavy hair.
A layered medium cut with bangs can more than ever frame your face and define your curls!
Messy Lob
For those with naturally wavy locks, a messy lob can be one of the best haircuts. It gives your locks volume with its textural finish while being more accessible than straight hair to style – plus, it looks great worn slicked back or styled into loose braids, ponytails, or half-up/half-down updos!
Consider a blunt bob with side part and side parting for a messy lob look. Dry texture spray can add volume and manageability.
If you want something truly original, consider dying your lob multiple colors. It’s an eye-catching hair color trend that can be styled in several different ways, whether with an ombre, chunky highlights, or rainbow effect. Just choose colors that suit both your personal aesthetic and complement your lob’s shape!
Romantic Curly Bun Updo
An elegant curly bun updo is ideal for any special event or casual gathering. Add sparkle with sparkly hairpins or flowers, or keep things simple by wearing a headband. If you have bangs, leave some loose to frame your face – this asymmetric style complements women with different face shapes, hair types, and textures!
First, ensure your hair is clean and dry to achieve this updo. Next, lightly mist it with water before applying a hair gel to control flyaways. Afterward, gather all your locks into a loose ponytail near the nape of your neck; secure with elastic and finish your look with some hairspray.
This chic updo adds a playful edge to any ensemble and is easy to implement. Gather your hair halfway between the nape and crown of your head into a ponytail and twist it into a bun for this look.
Shoulder Cut
Curls become full and bouncy when styled with layers, which define curly hairstyles. Without layers, rings tend to stretch out and look flat. Layers relieve weight and give shape to curls, helping them flow beautifully.
The shoulder cut is an excellent style choice for medium-length curly hair. This cut features baby bangs and face-framing layers for a soft, rounded shape.
This look also works beautifully when styled with darker tones. It’s an age-graceful way of losing length without too much unraveling. To ensure maximum curl retention, use a dry technique when adding layers, as curls stretch more when wet.
Layered Curls
Curly hair needs layers to add definition, texture, and bounce while helping avoid the triangle head shape. Layers also prevent curly locks from forming a pyramid-shaped structure on the back of your head, creating tension on top of your scalp. It’s a practical style choice for women with medium-length curly locks who wish to show off their beautiful curls while keeping their locks healthy and whole.
Trust your stylist to choose a style that complements your natural texture, as this will allow for beautiful mid-length layered curls that suit any face shape. Remember to use proper techniques for layered haircuts, such as dry cutting for curly hair.
