Hollywood Wave
The classic style of styling looks especially harmonious on medium-length hair. Curls of the same size fit tightly one to one. For such a hairstyle, you will need tongs or a curling iron, hairpins or clips, thermal spray and nail polish for fixing. Divide your hair into two parts with a side parting, spray with a thermal spray, take a strand that lies parallel to the parting, wrap it around the tongs or curling iron. Do not just hold the strand in a fixed state, but twist it slightly. Then release the finished curl and pin without loosening. Wind all your hair in this way, trying to make sure that the curls are the same. Loosen all the strands, comb them gently from roots to ends and fix the styling with varnish. Curls can be stabbed invisibly close to the face or carefully tied with a ribbon.
Spiral curls
Spiral curls are not very convenient to do on your own, but an amazing result awaits you if you have enough patience! To do this, you need special tongs or a nozzle with spiral grooves. In some cases, you can use curlers designed specifically for spiral curls. It is not so easy to wind the back strands, so it is better to ask your mother or girlfriend for help. Spray hair with hairspray to fix the result.
Careless curls
Another set of curls for medium length hair. You will need an iron, a hair dryer with a diffuser (nozzle) and styling mousse. These curls should be done on practically dry hair, so wait until they dry first. Roll your hair onto the diffuser and massage dry from the back of the head to the face. To enhance the effect, beat the hair at the roots to add volume, and secure the finished result with varnish.
Vertical curls
Curling your curls vertically is not difficult at all: twist the strands perpendicular to the parting, hold the curling iron or tongs vertically. The optimal solution for medium-length hair if you dream of an uncomplicated styling with curls for every day.
Horizontal curls
The principle is the same as in the case of vertical curls, only here you need to take the strands that lie parallel to the parting, and keep the curling iron horizontally. Such curls are tighter and more voluminous and look especially luxurious on shiny and silky hair.
Large curls
Hair styling with large curls directly depends on the diameter of the curling iron, tongs or curlers. The longer the hair, the larger the diameter of the attachment you will need. For hair of medium length, standard curling irons or large curlers are suitable. Curl your hair as tightly as possible if you want ring-like curls rather than light waves.
One curl
Styling your hair in one curl is a quick and festive party solution. You don't have much time to get ready and want to style your hair with medium length, but do without a lot of curls? The way out is found! Take a large strand of hair in front, wind it from root to end with a curling iron or hot curler, fix it with varnish and pin it with invisibility so that the curl itself protrudes forward, and its end remains behind. Tie the rest of your hair into a bun, ponytail or pin it on the back of your head, the idea of a high hairstyle can be peeped at from Lady Gaga.
French curls
Loose curls of medium length will look especially festive if the upper strands are braided into a light French spikelet, and the rest of the hair is freely scattered over the shoulders. To do this, you will need not only a curling iron, but also invisible braids. Braiding from braids can be double or triple, it all depends on the density and volume of your hair. Options - one wide braid around the head, a "waterfall" with a twist, or multi-layer weaving, but the rest of the curls should remain intact.
