Seven Cute Cuts for Curly Hair

The cut for your medium to heavy hair with waves is:

Long hair with extreme layers.

Why you should try it: The layers begin at Jordin Sparks’ cheekbones, which lets her hair have more movement, says Stephens. “It keeps it sexy, instead of just one heavy length. When you don’t have layers, you have a bohemian, heavy look.” According to Stephens this style is about creating carefree, sexy hair. Here are her tips to get this look:

Step 1: Apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair.

Step 2: Spritz a tousling spray like Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Spray, $17.99, to enhance your waves.

Step 3: Blow dry with a diffuser.

Step 4: Wind small sections of hair around a medium barrel curling iron if you want your hair to look super-polished. Shake out the curls with your hands, then spritz with hairspray (we love John Frieda Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hairspray, $5.99).
