Curly hair can be gorgeous but challenging to maintain. Regular trims and appropriate products are necessary for its health and appearance. To avoid damaging natural curls and causing frizz, using a wide-tooth comb for gentle detangling instead of brushing dry curls is best.
Messy Texture
Short, messy hairstyles can be sexy and casual, with a textured finish that adds definition and softens or brightens natural color tones. This style emphasizes facial features, especially when paired with side-swept bangs. Choppy layers and razored strands create a fuzzy texture that works well on any hair length or type. Usee IGK Broken Dreams texture paste and dry surface spray for an effortless, messy style for added volume.
Sporty Updo
Creating an updo can be a great way to showcase and accentuate the beauty of short to medium-length curly hair. This sporty updo features a center part, loose ringlets, and a high ponytail twisted into a voluminous chignon. For a playful flair, long hair can be styled into braids, such as two thick Dutch braids linked back into a double ponytail or four sleek braids meeting in an attractive sunset-inspired style.
Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts are chic and versatile, suitable for various occasions. Take inspiration from actress Michele Weaver, who wears her short pixie in an elongated and sleek fashion, highlighting her natural beauty. Consider combining the pixie cut with baby bangs to add volume at the top. Blow-drying the hair with a light pomade or styling cream like Ouai Matte Pomade and applying hairspray will help achieve this style with hold throughout the day.
Bouncy Curls
A bouncy curl hairstyle is ideal for women looking to project both personality and beauty. It flatters women of any face shape and hair color, especially those with light wavy or curly locks. Using a medium-sized curling iron, create ringlets by rolling small sections of hair around the face. Pin the face-framing strands up to calm down, then spray with a firm and flexible hairspray like Color Wow’s Cult-Favorite for a longer-lasting volume and bounce. Finger-combing the curls backward and applying a hair serum can create an easy and casual everyday style.
Edgy Updo
Try this style that works best on wavy-curly medium bobs with loose to curly waves to give short curly hair an edgy look. It creates a gothic rock-n-roll vibe, and using Osis’ Dust It powder adds extra volume and edge to the curls. Back-comb some hair at the crown and sides near your face, gather all the locks into a low bun at the back of your head, and secure any loose strands with bobby pins. Finish the look with a mist of strong-hold hairspray. This elegant updo is perfect for formal events and is guaranteed to turn heads when paired with a favorite black dress.
