“Curly Hairstyles”
Description
A formal medium curly hairstyle can be described as tailored, structured, in place and elegant looking. This is the kind of hairstyle you'd wear to a formal occasion such as a wedding, prom, or any important function that requires dressing up. Hairstyles vary from soft layered looks to one length cuts, while shapes change (depending on the haircut) by adding things like bangs and shorter top layers.
Method
Natural curls in medium length hair suits layer cutting since this technique eliminates weight and promotes body and bounce. Curls are usually molded into shape using small rollers or heat appliances such as curling tongs. Styling products help make the style last longer, but you need to make sure you avoid any moisture as this will make your hair frizz.
Benefit
A medium length formal curly hairstyle is a great look that suits most low cut off the neck gowns. Curly hair falling onto the shoulders is a great way to create a soft sultry look. For some reason curls are always perceived as more formal than straight hair...
