Hair Styling Tips for Medium Length Hair
How much shampoo should I use?
Only use about a tablespoon of shampoo every time you wash your hair.
Should I massage my scalp when I wash my hair?
Yes, massaging your head will help to dislodge dead skin cells from your scalp.
My hair look limp. What causes this?
One common cause of limp hair is that you still have shampoo in your hair. Make sure you have rinsed your hair thoroughly to get rid of all the shampoo residue. (Most people don't rinse their hair long enough.)
Where should conditioner be applied?
You will want to put conditioner at the ends of your hair, since this is the part of the hair that is most likely to be damaged.
What is better for my hair: letting it air dry or using a blow dryer?
If possible, let your hair air dry. If this is not practical, use a blow dryer on a cool setting and stop using the device before your hair is completely dry.
How can I get a straight look to my hair?
Use a Sedu flat iron to get a straight, sophisticated style.
Can I have a curly style with medium-length hair?
Of course you can have a curly style. Here's how: Apply a volumizing spray to the hair while it is still damp. Blow dry with a round brush. The next step is to use a curling iron to shape the curls. Once you have finished curling the hair, apply a light coating of hairspray. You can also use a spray shine product, if you like.
What other styling options do I have?
Medium-length hair is considered a good choice because it can be adapted to virtually any facial shape. Bangs can be cut in a number of ways to create an interesting look. If you are feeling really adventurous, consider asymmetrical bangs.
A woman with a rectangular-shaped face may want to consider a layered cut, since this will add some softness to her facial structure.
To add body, ask your stylist to give you under-layers. (This is where the top layer of hair is kept longer than the hair underneath.)
Hot rollers are another styling option for medium-length hair. Once the rollers cool down, remove them gently. Put a small amount of styling wax on your hands and finger comb the curls so they don't lose their shape.
My hair is dry. How can I treat this?
One way to deal with dry hair is to put a small amount of safflower oil on your hair. (You only need a drop or two.) Put the oil on your hands and rub them together. Apply to dry hair, working it through from the ends toward the scalp. No rinsing is required; you just leave the oil in your hair.
How can I keep my hair shiny?
Here are some suggestions to increase the shine factor:
- Use tea to wash your hair on a weekly basis.
- Rub some coconut oil through your hair and leave it in for 60 minutes. Then wash as usual.
- Apply a very small (the size of a pea) amount of conditioner to your hair after washing and conditioning it as usual. Work it through the hair and style as usual.
Keep these hair styling tips for medium length hair in mind to keep your crowning glory looking its best. You'll be glad you did!
