Curly Hair Cut Medium Length

For many women with naturally curly hair, a curly hair cut medium length will provide the optimum in looks.

This is because of the nature of curly hair itself. Each curl is different and each woman's curly hair is unique. It has to find its own natural length, and that means growing long enough for the full S shape of its curl to be defined.

Sadly, perhaps, that means that short and very short curly hair styles will not be an option for some - if they really want to showcase their hair's natural beauty, that is.

But on the positive side, a medium length curly hair cut can be one of the most attractive of hair styles.

Examples of women who use medium length curly haircuts to good effect include singers Katie Melua and Fiona Apple, actresses Keri Russell, Julianna Margulies and Monica Bellucci, model and actress Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, and famous person's daughter Chelsea Clinton.

Pictures of all these medium length curly hair exponents appear in the gallery on this page.

Some medium curly hairstyles have natural affinities with another classic haircut, the bob. In fact, many medium curly hair cuts effectively are bobs, with a bit of attitude. Chelsea Clinton wore a few curly bobs in her day.

But bobs are not for Katie Melua. Her style is all about unruly shoulder length hair that balances a heart-shaped face and, in the process, creates pictures of sultry sex appeal or softly feminine grace.

Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, though definitely curly, has more a wavy texture to her hair. She looks equally gorgeous when her hair is long, but a medium length curly hairdo, swept across the forehead, tousled and highlighted - or low lighted, maybe - like the one shown in pictures here, frames her oval face beautifully.

Fiona Apple's medium curly haircut is one of those styles that could also be called long, or longish, or long medium, but it doesn't matter. Her corkscrew curls fall evenly on either side, echoing the tones of her skin while contrasting its smoothness, and leaving her features free to show off in the oval beauty of her face.

Keri Russell is famous for her long curly hair, and a lot of people were disappointed, even stunned, when she radically shortened it. Her curly hair cut medium length may well be just a way-station on the road back to long hair, but it suits her. Whatever her length she invariably adopts an open faced look.

Russell and Julianna Margulies are two of the women whose pictures are used by Lorraine Massey, of Curly Girl fame, to define corkscrew curls. Margulies finds her best look with a loose corkscrew dangling on either side, softening the width of her face at the forehead and cheekbones.

So that's the curly hair cut medium length. It's long enough to be styled to suit most women's faces in a way that short hair often can't be.

Medium hair offers versatility of arrangement, too, so you're not stuck with the same hair style day after day.

Even if your curly hair is long and you don't want to cut it, the faux bob that Massey outlines in Curly Girl is one way for you to experience what a curly hair cut medium length is like.

No scissors required.
