How To Style Medium Length Naturally Curly Hair

1. Detangle and Shampooing

If you have medium length naturally curly hair, the best way to start styling it is to detangle and shampoo it. This will remove any knots or tangles and make it easier to style. Start at the ends of your hair and work your way up to the scalp, using a wide-toothed comb. Be gentle and take your time. After detangling, you can use a mild shampoo to wash your hair and remove any excess oil and dirt. Make sure to rinse your hair thoroughly after shampooing. You can also use a deep conditioning treatment if your hair is particularly dry or damaged.

2. Towel-Dry and Apply Heat Protectant

Once you have shampooed your hair, gently towel-dry it until it is still damp. Avoid rubbing your hair or using a hair dryer to dry it. Once your hair is damp, you can apply a heat protectant to help protect it from the heat of styling tools. Use a wide-toothed comb to apply the heat protectant evenly throughout your hair. If you have particularly thick or frizzy hair, you can also use a leave-in conditioner to help make it more manageable.

3. Blow-Dry and Section Hair

Once you have applied the heat protectant, you can start blow-drying your hair. Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up to the roots. Use a wide-toothed comb to help you detangle your hair as you go. Once your hair is completely dry, you can section it into small sections to make it easier to style. Make sure to use clips or pins to keep each section separate.

4. Curl with a Curling Iron

Now you can start curling your hair with a curling iron. Start at the bottom of the section and work your way up to the roots. Use the curling iron to curl each section of hair, working inwards to create a smoother, more uniform curl. You can also use a curling wand to create more natural-looking curls. Make sure to use a heat protectant before curling your hair to help protect it from the heat of styling tools.

5. Set with Hairspray and Finishing Touches

Once you have curled all of your hair, you can use hairspray to help set the style and keep it in place. Hold the hairspray about 12 inches away from your hair and spray it evenly throughout. You can also use a smoothing serum or cream to help keep your curls looking smooth and defined. Finally, you can add a few finishing touches, like using bobby pins or barrettes to add a bit of extra style. And you're done! You now have a beautiful, medium-length naturally curly hairstyle.
