Okay, so, I’ve been on this journey to really embrace my curls, right? They’re that in-between length, not quite short but not long either, and figuring out the right cut has been a real adventure. I finally decided it was time for a change, and let me tell you, it was worth it.
First off, I spent hours scrolling through pictures, trying to find inspiration. I knew I wanted something that would give my curls more life, more bounce. After talking to a friend who also has curly hair, she recommended a stylist who specializes in curls. That’s where it all started.
I booked an appointment with this stylist, and we had a good long chat about what I wanted. I showed her some of the pictures I’d saved. We talked about layers being key for curly hair, especially at this medium length. I learned that layers help to shape the hair and give curls more bounce. I was so excited, I could barely sit still in the chair!
Before the cut, they washed and dried my hair. It is an important step. Then came the actual haircut. The stylist carefully worked through my hair, section by section. She explained that she was cutting it down the middle to keep things even. I also noticed that she kept the length pretty consistent all the way around instead of going for drastic layers. She said it would help the curls grow out evenly and liberate curls from the root.
- Consultation: Talked to a stylist who really knows curly hair.
- Wash and Dry: They washed and dried my hair first.
- The Cut: She cut it carefully to keep the length even all around, with some gentle layers for bounce.
- Styling Tips: Got some great tips, like using a scrunchie when my hair is upside down to help define the curls.
What I did:
After the cut, she showed me some simple styling tricks. One cool trick was to tip my head upside down, gather my hair on top, and secure it with a scrunchie. Then, you can pull out a few strands to frame your face and give it a more messy, natural look. I felt like a whole new person! My curls have never looked better. They’re bouncy, defined, and just feel so much healthier. If you’re thinking about a new cut for your medium curly hair, definitely go for it! Just make sure you find a stylist who understands curls, and don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. It is amazing!
I also tried to use a lot of different products. There are so many products for curly hair on the market! It took me some time to find products that would enhance my curls without making them heavy or crunchy. After some time, I learned which product to use for my hair. Also, I would like to share that, after I tried some medium curly hairstyles, I felt so cool, and I could use these hairstyles for every situation.
It’s been a journey, but I’m so glad I finally found a cut and style that works for me. My curls are thriving, and I’m loving the new look. If you’re on the fence about a new haircut, I hope my experience gives you the push you need. Go for it, and embrace those curls!
