Cindy Marcus Hairstylist, Editor-in-Chief

Curly hair, with its distinct patterns and textures, necessitates a particular strategy regarding length. While shorter styles may feel light and breezy, and longer styles can highlight flowing curls, medium length appears to find the perfect balance. This length, resting around the collarbone or grazing the shoulders, optimizes the possibilities of curls, from tight coils to softer waves. Delve into these inspirations for your upcoming salon appointment!

#2: Elegant Side-Parted Curls for Mature Women

Enhance your mid-length hair with elegant, side-parted curls. If you prefer a hairstyle with added volume on top, a deep side part will provide extra height. Layers will shape your hair beautifully to highlight its texture. If you don’t have natural waves, a perm can help you achieve them. Alternatively, for those who prefer to avoid chemical treatments, try using a 3/4-inch curling iron and let your strands flow freely.

#3: Beautifully Frizzy Curls

Embrace your wonderfully frizzy curls with the proper cut and styling techniques. Frizzy hair can add stunning volume. I suggest minimal layering throughout your style to keep your strands weighed down. If you experience excessive fuzziness, there are a few strategies to consider. Treat your hair gently and blot it with a towel instead of ruffling it up. Consider sleeping on a silk pillowcase instead of cotton, and avoid brushing or combing dry hair. I recommend investing in high-quality curl products like L’Oréal’s Curl Expression line. These products hydrate and define your ringlets, and you can air dry or diffuse with low heat.

#4: Vibrant Purple and Jade Curl Styles

Bold colors on your hair, such as vibrant purple and jade, enhance your curls by emphasizing your strands with striking contrasts. When your base is sufficiently light, a variety of color pairings can be developed to keep your hairstyle captivating. Sulfate-free shampoos will help maintain color longevity, and professional treatments will ensure your color remains vivid.

#5: Lush and Vibrant Curls

These lush and vibrant curls are stunning. If you have dense hair, I suggest a haircut that will add volume and an attractive shape by incorporating maximum layering and weight removal. At home, consider dividing your hair into 4-6 sections. Then apply Mizani Style Foam Wrap from roots to ends. It’s a lightweight conditioning foam that won’t create a cast but can diminish frizz while enhancing curl definition.

#6: Timeless Brown Curly Layers

Vintage shoulder-length brown curly layers provide a chic hairstyle option. Maintaining a shoulder-length cut makes your hair much easier to style. Furthermore, it opens up a range of styling possibilities. The rich brown hue contributes warmth and depth to your curly layers. The layers introduce movement and texture, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a stylish yet effortless look.

#7: Rich and Luxurious Jet Black Curls

If jet black is not a natural fit for your base color, a visit to the salon for “all over color” or “gloss” can help maintain a salon-quality appearance. Appointments may be needed every 4-8 weeks, and when combined with a great at-home care routine, your hair can truly shine.

#8: Effortless Layered Curly Hairstyle

This medium-length layered hairstyle allows the curls to cascade beautifully and effortlessly where they naturally fall. The cut was executed dry because dry cutting enhances your hair’s texture. It enables your stylist to observe where each curl prefers to settle and will flourish the best in your hairstyle.

#9: Casual Cut with Curly Bangs

A casual medium cut with bangs is incredibly low-maintenance and provides excellent volume.  Ask your stylist to use a 90-degree layering technique all around your head. Then, create rounded layers with point-cutting. The style of curly bangs and face-framing are cut separately to complement your facial features.

#11: Flawlessly Curled Locks

Transform your ringlets into a halo of flawlessly curled locks. I recommend that you ask for square layering. It helps to maintain length on the top and the bottom, excavating the hair in between. This will give you more volume on the sides and allow for a flatter top. Remember to have a face frame around your cheekbones to complete the beautiful shape. It is better to diffuse your curls instead of air drying them to increase their fullness.

Full and Flowing Curls for Medium Hair

#12: Full and Flowing Curls

Full and flowing curls are an excellent choice for women with medium hair seeking to highlight their natural texture. This hairstyle is ideal if you desire ample volume and movement. By trimming away excess bulk from the sides and maintaining the length, your curls can retain their form and not shorten. Consider beginning with damp hair and applying a volumizing mousse to promote curling and create definition. To prevent frizz while scrunching your hair and eliminating excess moisture, use an old T-shirt. To dry your hair, utilize a diffuser attachment on the hair dryer. You can delicately enhance volume by lifting at the roots.

A medium-length type 3 curly shag is a fantastic option for older women with salt and pepper hair who wear stylish glasses. It’s a perfect way to keep the hair off the face while highlighting the elegance of your eyewear. Aim for soft and loose curls by blow drying with a diffuser if you can. To keep the style looking fresh, use a lightweight styling product. It will help define the ringlets and manage frizz effectively. Complete the look with a shine spray and some hairspray to secure everything beautifully.

#14: Beautiful Curly Layered Hairstyle

This stunning medium-layered curly hairstyle was cut via the Deva Cut. One of the greatest benefits of haircuts for curly hair like this is how seamless the layers appear.

Then, use a diffuser to dry your hair. Complete your look with a light-hold hairspray.

Choose a shoulder-length curly hairstyle with bangs and a side part. Curly girls are sometimes hesitant about volume, but here’s the truth: curls will always have volume. It’s just a matter of where that volume is placed. Various factors can cause our hair to behave differently, so different products come in handy for various situations. That said,  seek advice from a stylist you trust instead of a YouTuber.

#23: Stunning Chocolate Curls

Consider trying stunning chocolate shoulder-length curls if you love volume and texture. Loose curly hair reaching the shoulder must be dried with a diffuser.

If you prefer your hair to lie flat, allow it to air dry. Remember to use a curl-enhancing product for more defined curls. Avoid combing your hair after it dries to keep frizz at bay.

Medium-length styles for curly hair thrive with layers; otherwise, you risk the unfortunate triangle shape. Seek a stylist adept at cutting your hair dry and curl by curl to give you a tailored cut for your medium bouncy curls. Utilize a medium-hold silicone-free (water-based) gel and a diffuser—diffuse upside down and tilt to the sides for optimal volume.

#28: Ginger Spice Defined Curls

Defined, ginger-hued curls present a striking and adaptable style. For the best curl outcome, you and your stylist should find the right balance. It’s essential to preserve length while eliminating unnecessary weight. This helps avoid the hair from becoming too heavy or difficult to handle.

#29: Stunning Deva Curls

Embrace your natural hair with stunning deva curls. If you wish to sport ringlets, minimal layers are essential. The weight of your hair will elongate the curls and transform them into lovely spirals. This is why you should steer clear of short layers. If possible, air dry your hair with a product to enhance definition and minimize frizz. Should you need to blow dry, use a diffuser and avoid excessive touching for perfectly defined curls.

#30: Voluminous Curls

If you’re looking to add layers and texture to your hair, consider a cut featuring voluminous curls. It’s recommended that your stylist performs a dry haircut for curly hair to better manage shrinkage and preserve the curl pattern. If you’re feeling adventurous, bangs make an excellent option. They not only add intrigue but also beautifully frame your eyes.

Curly haircuts are ideal for girls who want to maintain their natural curls and feel like themselves on their wedding day, while still embracing their best self.

#35 Voluminous Curls with Bangs for Mature Black Women

These voluminous curls are designed for women looking to replicate hairstyles for medium-curly hair. Just be mindful of the ingredients in the products you select. Harsh sulfates can strip essential moisture from your hair, leaving it dehydrated and challenging to style. Silicones may create a buildup on your hair strands, forming a layer that affects shine, vibrancy, and elasticity over time.

Bouncy and luscious curls are incredibly stunning and full of life. You may want to employ a microfiber towel when drying and styling curly hair.
