Achieving wavy hair with a medium length can be done using heat styling tools.
Understanding the Process
The reference video, "HOW TO EASY EVERYDAY WAVES TUTORIAL - Medium Length Hair", provides a practical demonstration on how to create waves in medium-length hair using a curling iron. The core method involves using a curling iron to create bends and movement throughout the hair, as shown in the video.
Tools Needed
- Curling Iron
- Heat protectant spray
Steps to Create Waves
- Prepare Your Hair: Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before using any heated tools.
- Curling Iron Technique: The video mentions opening the curling iron, letting the hair rest, and creating a lift at the root.
- Start by holding the curling iron near the root area, ensuring to be careful not to burn your face.
- Wrap a section of your hair around the barrel of the curling iron.
- Hold the hair for a few seconds and then release.
- Repeat this process throughout your hair, alternating the direction of the curls for a more natural look.
- After curling each section, the video says to “Open it and just let it rest".
- Cool and Style: Allow your hair to cool down completely after curling, this step is important for the waves to set well. You can gently run your fingers through your hair to loosen the curls and create a softer, more wavy texture. You can also shake out the hair for volume.
Tips for Success
- Section Your Hair: Working in sections makes the process easier and ensures that all parts of your hair get curled.
- Vary Curl Direction: Switching the direction of the curl can help to achieve a more natural and less uniform look.
- Adjust Heat Setting: Be sure that your curling iron’s temperature is suited for your hair type to avoid heat damage.
- Experiment: Try different sizes of curling irons for different wave sizes and try different curling techniques to find what works best for you.
Summary
By using a curling iron and following the simple steps mentioned above, you can easily get wavy hair at a medium length. The key is to practice with the right tools and techniques, remembering to add a heat protectant to your hair.
