Hairstyles For Medium Textured Hair

Medium textured hair can be identified by its substantial texture, fullness, and ability to hold styles reasonably well. Structurally speaking, medium-textured locks have three layers – cortex, cuticle, and medulla. Changes in hormone levels and lifestyle choices may alter the texture of your natural hair over time, potentially altering its characteristics and making a noticeable change. This may cause an alteration in its natural state and result in changes to its texture.

Coarse/Thick

Coarse/thick medium hair typically features wider and thicker strands than fine-textured locks, making fuller locks more resistant to heat, styling products, and color damage. Your hair needs plenty of nourishment to remain soft and manageable, so hair masks should be applied several times weekly, and leave-in conditioners like our Farewell Frizz rosehip, argan, and coconut oil blend leave-in conditioner. Both methods help smooth Frizz while providing essential nourishment. Thick and coarse textured hair is susceptible to Frizz in humid weather. Products with slip can help strands detangle more efficiently and avoid snags more easily. Our Curl Charisma Shelfie Essentials kit and Farewell Frizz Leave-in Conditioning Cream may be needed – our defining serum removes product build-up. At the same time, its leave-in formula strengthens stronger strands with resistance against breakage.

Fine

Fine hair has thin strands with delicate structures. As such, they tend to break easily and may become oily quickly if too much product is applied. Over time and due to age or hormonal fluctuations, their natural bounce may dwindle as their natural strength diminishes. To accurately evaluate your hair texture, grab a single strand and lay it flat on paper. If the individual strand is hard to feel between your fingertips, it is fine; otherwise, it is visible and not hard to feel marks on medium hair textures. Such styles have both cortex and cuticle layers, as fine hair does, with medium textures often having additional protective medulla layers that help them withstand high-stress styling or coloring techniques and hold styles well.

Medium

Layered haircuts can breathe new life into medium-textured hair. Layers allow you to shed bulk while adding movement and definition; ask your stylist about incorporating sliced ends for an elevated and voluptuous style! Rose Byrne wears an elegant shoulder-length layered bob with bangs reminiscent of brushstrokes for her soft yet feminine style that pairs beautifully with her brassy blonde hue and highlights. If your strands are thick and voluminous, a face-framing bob with mid-length layers can create balance and structure around your jawline. A side-parted bob looks beautiful when combined with dynamic balayage to add dimension. By choosing the appropriate cut and color combination, you can add volume while eliminating Frizz; additionally, balayage helps diminish grays by blending them into your natural hue.

Thick/Coarse

Many people have an array of hair textures on their heads. To identify yours, roll a single strand between your fingers and compare it with a piece of sewing thread; if yours feels thicker than its equivalent thread piece, this indicates coarse hair. Coarse-textured hair requires plenty of moisture to remain soft and manageable, often falling victim to frizzing and becoming dry and brittle without proper care. Maintain healthy hair by not over-processing it and regularly oiling it it with natural oils like coconut, olive, or avocado. Trim your ends every seven weeks to prevent further damage to the tresses.
