5 Really Curly Hairstyles
If you have long, curly hair, try styling it into an elegant side part that frames your face and lets its coils prepare it. It requires little upkeep throughout the day and makes you look effortlessly chic.
Men’s Taper Fade Cut
Men with curly hair may benefit from sporting a taper fade cut. This style keeps the sides and back short while leaving longer locks at the top for an eye-catching, masculine look.
Tousled Curls
Tousled hair may seem effortless and stylish, but it requires careful consideration to achieve. Consider it intentionally disorganized hair with a bohemian flair. Leave-in conditioner can help your curls appear natural and soft, while volumizing hairspray may further boost their effect. Once you’ve applied your leave-in conditioner, dry your locks with a towel until they’re damp but not drenched – this will help prevent breakage and frizz. Next, use a voluminous hairspray and texture spray to make your locks appear tousled and beachy; these will also ensure your curls last all day! Finally, take sections of hair from your head and curl it with a curling iron!
Shag Haircuts
Shag haircuts offer a timeless yet contemporary style for formal and casual settings. Their signature features are slightly uneven overlapping layers that may feature loose bangs or fringe that have been cut or texturized for an edgy, modern aesthetic. Shag can be daunting for beginners to master, yet highly customizable and adaptable if you know how to slay the cut. At BTC University, we contacted the shag master extraordinaire, Rachel Williams, for tips and tricks to make your following amount successful! Rihanna offers another easy, low-maintenance way to style her shag: adding subtle highlights. This will highlight your low curls, give them more movement, and reduce the need for frequent trims.
Messy Updo
Messy hairstyles are in fashion right now, whether that means a messy bun, twist, or updo with added texture. Dirty looks provide a polished yet natural aesthetic and make an ideal style choice for casual or formal events alike. Curls add an irreverent edge to this look, which works equally well for everyday occasions or legal affairs. A side twisted braid adds an elegant finishing touch and ensures you remain elegant without feeling overdone. Start off by creating a low messy ponytail, then divide one of the front sections in two and loosely braid them before pancaking out and pinning them into place around your ponytail. Finish it with some hairspray for good measure – and you’re good to go!
Side Part
There’s nothing quite as sophisticated or modern as a side part for your hair, adding an up-to-the-moment touch. Additionally, it works wonders for hiding cowlicks entirely or at least minimizing their presence. Chris Pine wears his side part either subtly with soft lines ups or more pronouncedly, as seen here, with sharp lines ups on either side. On top is a blend of pompadour and side-swept styles, which can be achieved using wax or gel. Use gels for an elegant and sleek look or polishes for a more natural texture that allows for daily restyles. Either choice can work beautifully; select one based on what suits your personal preferences best!
Ponytail
Try creating a high-crown ponytail for a formal style with your curly locks. Tease your locks for added lift and volume before using bobby pins to secure them in place. If your long curls require something less structured (known as twin tails or pigtails), try splitting up the ponytail into two sections before creating this look – such as with long ponytails. Braiding can also add an individualistic touch to your ponytail style. A three-strand braid works quickly and effortlessly, while more intricate braids like this helix braid (also called DNA braid) add texture. Complete the look with an eye-catching headband to show your flair!
