Curling medium length hair can create a fun and flirty look, whether you want to create loose waves or tight curls. Here’s how to curl medium length hair:
Step 1: Prep your hair
Start by washing and conditioning your hair. Apply a heat protectant spray or cream to your hair to protect it from heat damage. Then, blow dry your hair until it’s completely dry.
Step 2: Section your hair
Divide your hair into sections using hair clips. Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up. You can use as many sections as you need depending on the thickness of your hair.
Step 3: Heat up your curling iron
Plug in your curling iron and let it heat up to the desired temperature. If you have fine hair, use a lower heat setting, and if you have thicker hair, use a higher heat setting.
Step 4: Curl your hair
Starting with the bottom section of your hair, take a small section of hair and wrap it around the barrel of the curling iron. Hold it for a few seconds, then release the curl. Repeat this process with each section of hair, working your way up to the top of your head.
For loose waves, wrap larger sections of hair around the barrel of the curling iron. For tighter curls, use smaller sections of hair and hold the curling iron in place for a few seconds longer.
Step 5: Set your curls
Once you’ve curled all of your hair, use a light-hold hairspray to set your curls. Hold the hairspray about 10 inches away from your hair and spray lightly. Avoid using too much hairspray, as this can weigh down your curls.
Step 6: Shake out your curls
After your hairspray has dried, use your fingers to gently shake out your curls. This will help loosen them up and give them a more natural look.
Step 7: Finish with a shine spray (optional)
If you want to add some extra shine to your curls, finish with a shine spray. Hold the spray about 10 inches away from your hair and spray lightly.
And there you have it! With these simple steps, you can curl your medium length hair and achieve a fun and flirty look. Remember to be careful when using hot tools, and always use a heat protectant spray to protect your hair from damage.
