Short, Medium and Long Length Curly Hair Cuts

People with natural curly hair are both blessed and cursed. Curly hair can be the most beautiful set of hair anyone can have. You only need to look at those pictures of famous personalities of the 16th and 17th centuries. Remember Shirley Temple? Now wasn’t her curly hair locks gorgeous. Just about all the Hollywood goddesses of the 30s up to the 50s sported breathtaking curly hairstyles, from Jean Harlow, Rita Hayworth, to Marilyn Monroe. Curly hair was considered a high fashion statement. And it still is. Remember Brooke Shields and the late Farah Fawcett-Majors?

But admittedly, they are the most demanding hair types that can get unmanageable and unpredictable in terms of styling. As such they can be very frustrating to control. Every woman with curly tops has a horror story to tell. But curly hair begs to be understood. For most women with curly hair, finding a truly capable hair salon with expert hair dressers and stylists seasoned in giving curly hair cuts can be frustrating. But that’s the first step to gaining the seductive glamour of a curly hairstyle.

Managing your curls

There are just two things that can get you to reign in on difficult stubborn curls. You need the right curly hair cut to control the curls and the proper care that make your curls follow the style you want and remain where you want them to be. Once these two styling ingredients are met, you can have the head-turning, gorgeous hair style.

Three Curl Cuts

Curly hair cuts can fall into three basic types: short, medium and long length hair cuts. Each of these is basically self-explaining but all can be made to match and accentuate the general shape of your face to accentuate or de-emphasize certain features. The most manageable is the short hair cut that reveals the ears and the neck. Medium hair cuts are barely long enough to touch the shoulders. The long length cut would be any length beyond the shoulder and, needless to say, would be the most demanding to manage.

A curly hair cut and curly hair care – these are the two ingredients to give you control to a beautifully sculpted curly hair – one is out of your hands, the other is in. It’s never advisable to cut your own curly hair. Let the experts do it, though the decision on what hair style to take is yours. As far as caring for it, there are tips and suggestions you can follow.
