Here is some information and images of hair with beautiful medium curls in different states of this type of curl, to better understand the versatility of curly hair, knowing that a head of hair has at least two different curl sizes (more or less wide).

1/ How to reveal your natural curls?

With this type of curl size, they are already visible from a distance or up close. But they can have a wavy or even straight appearance depending on the care and techniques used. It's damp, wet, or well-hydrated and slightly oily hair that is most likely to curl on its own. Once dry, the hair settles into the shape it was left in. It's best to detangle your hair with your fingers to create groups of curled sections. This will make the curls more defined and visible from a distance, depending on their size.

Example of medium/large curly hair detangled with fingers

If you want to make curls invisible, create volume, or achieve the cloud-like effect of natural curls, you need to brush, comb, or backcomb them. The more the hair strands are separated, the more volume the curls will have and the less visible they will be from a distance once detangled.

Detangling wet hair with a brush or comb makes it appear wavy rather than curly and slightly shorter than its actual length. But once dry, the hair shrinks. It shrinks even further, and the curls form. So even if the hair is long when relaxed or weighed down by moisture, the springy effect is activated.

To maintain the wavy appearance, good hair nutrition is necessary, as well as a good dose of natural hair sebum for those who have naturally oily hair.

2/ Shrinkage and versatility

Thanks to its natural versatility, curly hair allows for a choice of different visual appearances that one wishes to reveal.

Here are the different appearances of curly hair:

• The curly state : natural curls are defined. With good hydration and nutrition, the curls unite and become visible individually or in strands.

• The stretched state : curls are relaxed when hair has been braided or tied up beforehand, then undone and left dry. They stabilize in this state, but when wet, the natural curls reform.

• The locs state : the curls are knotted or tangled, lightly or heavily depending on the desired look.

• The "frizzy" state : the curls are untangled and separated.

With any length, you have the ability to create Locs very easily without a hook, to create your voluminous and light magic cloud with the frizzy state or to leave your curls clearly visible.

These medium-curly hairs are remarkable for their natural shrinkage and stretching abilities. When your hair is truly long, you benefit from the highest level of this characteristic, allowing you to go from very short to very long hair without having to cut it, thanks to the magic of shrinkage.

This beautiful hair allows for a multitude of styles to suit every mood and desire 😍. Magical! 💫
