Curly Hairstyles for Men: Medium Length Hair Ideas and Pictures

[TheMensHairForum]

For a long time, curly hair for men has been considered untamable. So as to debunk the myth, let's dedicate this thread to the many medium curly hairstyles for men.

We always say this in our forum: curly hair is easy to manage and style so long as you take good care of it. With curly hair for men, hair care is more important hair hair styling, as a good curly hairstyle is dependent upon shapely and well-defined waves, ringlets or short coils. Once your curls are looked after properly, your curly hair styles will come easily and smoothly!

What is curly hair?

Curly is a texture and thus curly hair covers 3 male hair types as per our male hair types guide. These curly hair types are:

• Wavy hair: hair forms in wave-like shapes. This is caused by the elongation of the curly hair, which forms wavy shape and which, in most guys, will not form a curl as the hair needs a lot of length to form a curl with wavy hair.
• Coiled hair: hair forms as ringlets and well-defined coils.
• Kinky hair: very coiled hair. The coils are hard to see and are known as kinks. Also known as afro textured hair.
  

The opposite of curly hair is straight hair, with straight hair being both a texture and a hair type. In this thread on medium length curly hairstyles, we will cover all medium hairstyles fo wavy hair, coiled hair and kinky hair.

The above hair typing model and guide is based on the popular ISEZ hair type method from Rogelio Samson and published in his book, The Men's Hair Book.

What is medium length hair?

Just like hair can be categorized as "types", hair length can too be categorized. As per our hair length guide, medium length hair ranges from 2 inches to 6 inches of length. Hair shorter than 2 inches is what is known as "short hair", while hair that is longer than 6 inches is known as "long hair".

This same hair length guide is also based on Rogelio Samson's hair length guide published in The Men's Hair Book and The Curly Hair Book. It's a very convenient guide as working out your hair length and your hair type is the first step in choosing the best hairstyles for you!
