What makes medium curly hair a challenge for most Hair Stylists?
Curly hair generally is a challenge for most hair stylists full stop. This is for a combination of reasons; stylists encounter diverse textures within the same hair, ranging from looser curls to tighter coils, requiring a different approach to each. Managing frizz and lots of volume, is an easy way for an inexperienced curly hair cutter to become ‘lost’ in the hair is another hurdle! Some stylists may also struggle when curls ‘spring’ up when dry which can lead to difficulties in knowing how much to cut, when to cut and how to cut them.
Why are medium curly haircuts so popular?
Most experienced stylists will be able to tackle curly hair when relying upon experience. That being said, they won’t necessarily be expert nor able to call upon years or experience with this hair type. For this reason, curly haircut specialists are rare and given salons are able to market their niche much more freely, clients are far savvier and willing to commute for a specialist curly haircut.

Why is a medium curly haircut any different?
The fundamental difference from a medium curly haircut to that of a medium-length straight haircut is the process. In theory, most haircutting options (straight cut, layers, face framing) can be applied to curly hair, however you may find that some curl patterns and some hair types may not necessarily showcase it quite so well. For example, thicker curly hair may benefit from lots of lots, rather a reduction of volume supported by a longer layer may really ease the unruliness and visual impact of the curls. Conversely, you wouldn’t apply the same strategy to achieving a longer layer if cutting similar length straight hair.
