Curly hair can look chic if styled correctly; all necessary to achieve this look is choosing the style that complements your face shape and personality.
If you have long coils, why not wear them in a French braid with wispy bang pieces to give an ultra-feminine look? This hairstyle will do precisely that.
Caesar Haircut
A messy Caesar haircut offers an effortless yet chic style, highlighting the texture in your locks. Rub a small amount of your preferred hair styling product between your fingertips, tousle the top section of hair, and tousle for an effortlessly stylish yet casual appearance. Finish the look off with a low-side fade for a polished and complete appearance.
If you prefer an updated edge, ask your barber to add a defined line along the temples for a sleek and defined hairline. This style looks particularly significant on naturally curly or wavy locks.
This style combines a high taper fade with a short French crop for an attractive, balanced look for all face shapes. It works particularly well when worn against angular facial features, such as cheekbones or jawlines, making an angular feature pop out more. It is best suited to men with medium-length hair but can be tailored to any length as long as the fringe stays short and density remains in mind.
Blowout Haircut
Blowout haircuts are an ideal style choice for men with curly locks. Comb them back for an informal yet polished appearance, or create texture by styling them into a pompadour style pompadour. A blowout haircut is easy to style and pairs well with fades and beards for maximum impact!
Beards help keep blowout hairstyles in place and add texture and depth to your style. Additionally, adding an individual line or shape to your fade can further elevate it and make it more fashionable.
A low taper fades with sharply shaved lines and pairs beautifully with messy blowout curly hair brushed upward. It also works well for Afro hair and can be worn in various styles; some men like keeping their blowout soft and fluffy for an airy cloud-like effect that looks particularly great with low taper fade and coarse textures.
Hard Part Haircut
Complex parts are an elegant alternative to the more common comb-over style, featuring a thin line easily distinguishable from the rest of your hair, creating an eye-catching style ideal for curlier or wavy locks. Unfortunately, however, it may require frequent visits to salons and additional products for it to stay put and remain secure.
The high fade and challenging part is a classic men’s haircut that exudes professionalism and looks sharp. Perfect for men with scruffy facial hair, this combination works exceptionally well with full beards or mustaches.
A hard part is an eye-catching and edgy look, perfectly complementing a pompadour and salt-and-pepper beard. It adds dimension and depth, as well as balance an uneven hairline. Achieving this style requires careful barber craftsmanship, great attention to detail, and plenty of hold pomade.
Two-Tone Curls
Two-tone hair for curly locks is an effective way to highlight their unique curl pattern and increase self-confidence. Two-toned locks pair beautifully with darker makeup or accessories such as bold burgundy lipstick!
One popular approach for creating two-tone hair is through the balayage technique. Your stylist will hand paint each strand of your hair with highlights to achieve an organic gradient effect – much safer for curly locks than traditional foil-highlighting, which may cause damage.
Blondes can use balayage to achieve a light surfer blonde look, while brunettes can use ombre or peekaboo highlights to add dimension and dimension to their locks. Peekaboo highlights are more subdued than ombre, making them suitable for face-framing layers or just adding some additional color around the face. Regardless of your two-tone look, make sure you use volumizing products like the Matrix Biolage Styling Whipped Volume Mousse, which scored highly on Good Housekeeping’s test!
