My experience with clients who have curly hair has shown me how hair curls naturally falls, and most of the time it is best to get out of its way. I have a client who has been flat ironing her hair every single day since high school. I remember the day I cut her hair for the first time, and to my surprise, tears poured down her face. She explained that she did not recognize herself, but a moment of silence later, she did. For most of my clients, their curly hair is a huge reflection of their self identity.
With my years of experience, I have learned that the best curly hair top styles are the ones that do not get caught up in the latest trends. Instead, they appreciate the beauty of the curls that are falling around the head in various positions. Each season features a new set of styles that become public and these styles can come from anywhere in the world. I have had the opportunity to work with so many incredible and diverse clients through my years that I have been able to work on various styles and looks that are completely different from the previous approved styles.
#1: Strawberry Copper Curls with Rounded Layering
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, look at this photo closely. The layers were cut dry and rounded through the interior so the shape stays full without going triangular, which is the thing most stylists get wrong on this hair type. That warm strawberry copper reads natural here because the colorist left depth at the root and let the mid-lengths catch light on their own. This won’t work on coarse, thick curls. The density here is medium at most, and the whole shape depends on that. Oval and heart faces will love how the volume sits at cheekbone level.
#2 Copper Red Shoulder-Length Curls with Natural Dry-Cut Shape
If your hair is fine to medium density, this won’t look like this on you. What makes it work is the sheer amount of curl stacking at the sides, and that only happens with genuinely thick hair. This is a dry-cut shoulder length with no defined part, which lets the curls fall where they naturally want to. The copper tone reads warm without being costume-y, sitting somewhere between natural auburn and intentional red. Notice how the ends are lighter than the roots but there’s no obvious highlight placement; that’s just years of sun exposure on color-treated hair doing its thing. Oval and heart-shaped faces wear this well because the volume at the temples balances a narrower chin. Round faces will fight it. The color will fade fast and go brassy within weeks without a color-depositing treatment, and that’s not a maybe.
#3 Warm Chestnut Curly Collarbone Length with Sun-Lit Mid-Shaft Highlights
If your curl pattern varies wildly from strand to strand, look at this photo closely. The crown is looser, almost wavy, while the ends tighten into real ringlets. That mix is not styled in, it is just how medium-density 2C/3A hair behaves when it is dry-cut with long interior layers and left alone. The highlight placement is smart, concentrated from mid-shaft down so the lighter pieces catch where curls naturally cluster and leave the root area a rich warm brunette. On round or square face shapes, this length and center part combination will not do you any favors. It works here because her face is oval and the volume sits wide at the cheekbones without adding bulk at the jaw. Fine hair will not hold this shape. You need genuine density or it reads flat by hour three.
#4 Beachy Blonde Long Waves with Natural Root Depth
If your hair is fine to medium density, this will not look like this on you. That’s the first thing worth knowing. What makes it work here is genuinely thick hair carrying enough weight to keep the wave pattern loose and full past the collarbone without collapsing. The color is a hand-painted balayage over a natural darker blonde root, and whoever did it left the underneath strands cooler so the dimension reads real in person, not stripy. No layers are doing heavy lifting here, which means the shape comes almost entirely from texture. Great for wider face shapes because the length pulls everything down. If your curls are tighter than a 2B pattern, expect a completely different result.
#5 Medium Brown Wavy Length with Minimal Layering and Air-Dried Texture
If your curl pattern is inconsistent, where some sections wave and others just bend, this is actually your cut. Notice how the ends aren’t all uniform. Some pieces clump, some separate, and the whole thing still works because the layers are long and barely there. This is a one-length base with light face framing removed dry, which keeps the weight low enough to prevent triangle shape on medium-density hair. It will not work on fine hair. You’ll just get flat roots and scraggly ends with no body in between. The color is her natural medium brunette, no processing visible, and that honesty is part of why it looks this good.
#6 Blonde Curly Collarbone Length with Spiral Definition and Warm Root Blend
If your curls are fine individually but dense in volume, this is worth studying. The spirals here are uniform and tight, sitting around a 3A pattern, and the dry cut has been done to let each coil spring to roughly the same length without creating a triangle shape. Notice how the layers start high at the cheekbone, which is what keeps the sides from puffing wide. That framing is doing real work on an oval face. The color is a hand-painted blonde over a warm sandy base, and the roots have been left natural enough that you won’t be chasing regrowth every six weeks. Fine curls like these lose definition fast in humidity. If you live somewhere damp, this polished spiral look will not last past lunch without product intervention.
#7 Dark Natural Curly Bob with Soft Volume at the Crown
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is your cut. The layers here were clearly dry-cut to land right where the curl springs back, which is why nothing looks weighed down or triangular. Notice how the shortest pieces sit just above the brow without committing to actual bangs. That’s smart because it frames an oval or heart-shaped face without the daily negotiation real curly bangs demand. This won’t work on very coarse, thick curl patterns; you’ll get width you didn’t ask for, especially in humidity. It’s a shoulder-length bob on medium-density 3A curls, all one dark brunette color, no dimension tricks. Honest hair.
#8 Warm Blonde Curly Shoulder Length with Dark Root Grow-Out
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is your cut. The layers here were clearly done dry, curl by curl, because the shape sits round and full without any awkward flat spots at the crown. What caught my eye is how the front pieces fall at slightly different lengths on each side, which keeps the whole thing from looking too polished. This only works on medium density hair. Thick, coarse curls will blow this out into a triangle by day two. The color is a grown-out balayage with about two inches of natural dark blonde root blending into warmer, lighter ends, and it looks honest rather than neglected because the tonal shift is gradual. Oval and heart face shapes wear this well. Round faces will feel wider.
#9 Warm Brunette Curly Shoulder Cut with Uneven Texture
If your curls vary between 2C and 3A depending on the day, this is your cut. Look at the mix of tighter ringlets near the face and looser waves toward the back, which tells me this was dry-cut to honor each curl’s natural pattern rather than forcing uniformity. The length sits right at the shoulders with medium density, and there’s no heavy layering weighing things down. What most people won’t catch is that the part is slightly off-center, which lets the curls fall asymmetrically and keeps the shape from looking too round on wider face shapes. This will not work if your hair is fine and low density because there isn’t enough bulk here to fake it. The color is her natural warm brunette with subtle sun-lightened ends, nothing placed or foiled.
#10 Caramel-Tipped Long Curls with Dark Root Depth
If your curls are fine individually but you have a lot of them, look here. The color is hand-painted only on the mid-lengths and ends, leaving about three inches of natural dark root untouched, which means grow-out is a non-issue for months. What caught my eye is how the curls on the right side hang longer and heavier than the left, a sign this was cut dry and curl by curl rather than in uniform sections. That asymmetry is the whole point. It won’t work on loose waves because the caramel placement relies on tight coil structure to show dimension. Oval and heart faces will love this length.
#11 Copper Red Long Curls with Natural Density and Deep Root Warmth
If your natural curls are fine or low density, this isn’t your cut. What makes it work is the sheer volume of hair holding the shape together, with tight spirals layered long enough that they cluster without separating into thin strands. The color is a warm copper laid over a darker auburn root, and the transition is gradual enough to look grown-in rather than placed, which tells me this was done with a freehand painting technique rather than foils. Look at how the curls near the face catch lighter while the underneath stays deep and rich. That contrast is doing most of the visual work here. This is a mid-back length dry cut on dense, medium-to-coarse type 3A curls, and the layering is minimal, just enough to keep the weight from pulling the crown flat. It suits oval and heart face shapes well because the volume sits wide at the cheekbones. Copper this vivid fades fast. You will be in the salon more often than you want to be.
#12 Blonde Curly Shoulder Cut with Loose Natural Ringlets
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, look closely at this one. The density here is medium at best, and that’s exactly why it works, because the dry-cut layers land where the curl pattern naturally wants to spring, giving the illusion of more fullness than what’s actually there. On thick, coarse curls this same cut would mushroom out at the sides. The color is a warm butter blonde with darker roots left intentionally grown in, not a shadow root technique but just honest regrowth that happens to blend. Oval and heart face shapes wear this length well. If you have a wider jaw, that volume sitting right at chin level will not do you any favors. One thing worth noticing is how the curls near her face are slightly looser and longer than the ones in back, which tells me the stylist understood where weight needed to stay to keep the shape from going round.
#13 Warm Blonde Long Curls with Dry-Cut Layering
If your hair is fine to medium density, this won’t look like this on you. That fullness comes from having a lot of hair, and the layers were cut dry to keep every curl landing where it should rather than springing up unpredictably. The color reads natural blonde with warmer, almost honey-toned pieces concentrated around the face, which tells me a stylist hand-painted those rather than using foils. Look at how the curls near her temples are tighter and shorter than the lengths below. That’s not damage or inconsistency, it’s just what real curls do when layers are placed to let each section coil at its own rate. This works on oval and heart-shaped faces because the volume sits wide at cheek level and tapers past the collarbone. Round faces will get swallowed. The blonde will require upkeep every eight to ten weeks to keep brassiness from taking over, and skipping that appointment is not a subtle thing on curly hair the way it can be on straight.
#14 Sandy Blonde Curly Collarbone Cut with Lived-In Layers
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is your cut. Notice how the layers start high at the cheekbone and open up the face without thinning the ends into nothing, which is the mistake most stylists make with medium-density curls. The color reads like a natural dark blonde root with sun-faded ends, probably a hand-painted balayage that’s been allowed to grow out for months. That’s the whole appeal. It won’t look like this if your curls are tight coils or heavy 3B texture. This works on looser, wavier curl patterns where you get that soft spiral without much product. Round and oval faces wear it well because the side-parted volume balances width at the temples. One thing to know: finer curls at this length will frizz at the crown exactly like you see here, and no amount of cream fixes that completely.
#15 Warm Brown Long Curls with Swept Volume and Root Lift
If your hair is fine or low density, skip this one. The whole look depends on having enough hair to hold that off-center volume at the crown without it collapsing by noon, and the person in this photo has plenty of medium-to-thick strands doing the work. What caught my eye is how the curls on the right side fall heavier and longer than the left, which tells me this was likely dry-cut to follow the natural curl pattern rather than forced into symmetry. The color is a rich warm brunette with subtle lighter pieces woven through the mid-lengths, nothing that screams highlight but enough dimension to keep all that length from reading flat. This suits oval and heart face shapes well because the width sits below the cheekbones. Round faces will find it adds bulk exactly where they don’t want it.
#16 Deep Brunette Long Curls with Invisible Layering
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is worth studying. The layers here were cut dry and placed so carefully that you can’t actually spot where they start, which is exactly the point because heavy-handed layering on this curl pattern would just create frizz at the crown. Notice how the volume sits widest at jaw level and tapers slightly toward the ends, giving the whole shape a quiet structure without looking “done.” This is a single-process dark brunette, no color tricks, no dimension work, and honestly that commitment to one rich tone is what makes it land. If you want highlights or balayage, this particular cut will read completely differently. It won’t look like this photo. Oval and longer face shapes wear this length well because the width at the sides fills things out, but round faces will feel buried. The density required is real, too. Thin or low-density curls will leave gaps where this needs fullness.
#17 Honey Blonde Curly Shoulder Length with Natural Root Shadow
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is your cut. The layers here are carved dry, curl by curl, which is the only reason the shape reads as round and full without any bulk sitting heavy at the bottom. Notice how the shortest pieces land right at the cheekbone and the longest barely graze the collarbone, creating a frame that works particularly well on oval and longer face shapes. The color is a warm honey blonde with her natural darker root left intact, maybe three inches of grow-out that looks completely intentional. That root shadow is doing real work, adding depth at the crown so the curls don’t flatten into one uniform tone. This will not look like this on coarse or thick curl patterns. It will triangle out. Fine to medium density, type 3A curls, that is the person who should bring this photo in.
#18 Brunette Mid-Length Curls with a Loose Side Sweep
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is worth studying. The density here is medium to high, and the layers were cut dry with slide cutting through the mid-lengths, which keeps the ends from going blunt and triangular. Notice how the curl pattern shifts from tighter coils at the crown to looser waves toward the bottom. That’s not styling, that’s just what naturally happens when weight pulls on varied curl types, and the layering works with it instead of fighting it. One color throughout. No highlights, no dimension tricks. On round or square faces, all that width at cheek level will only add more. This cut genuinely flatters oval and oblong shapes. If your hair runs thin or flat at the roots, you will not get this result.
#19 Dark Curly Collarbone Length with Effortless Side Sweep
If your hair is fine but there’s a lot of it, skip this. The fullness here comes from genuinely medium-to-thick density with a 2C/3A curl pattern, and the layers are doing less work than you’d think. What’s actually shaping this cut is a deep side part that throws all the volume to one side, which is why the curls look so full and unstructured at once. The length hits right at the collarbone, and the layers were point-cut dry to keep each curl clump intact rather than splitting them. No color, just natural dark hair with that slight warmth you only see when light catches it. This is a great cut for round or oval faces because the asymmetry from the part creates angles the shape itself doesn’t have. On square jawlines it can read heavy at the bottom. Humidity will make this bigger, not better.
#20 Warm Chestnut Curly Shag with Curtain Fringe
If your hair is fine to medium density, this won’t work. The whole shape depends on having enough hair to fill out that wide silhouette without looking stringy at the ends. What caught my eye is the interior layering through the crown, point cut to let the curls separate without losing weight where it matters, which is why the top has lift and the lengths still feel full. The curtain fringe pieces are longer than they look, probably nose length when pulled straight, and they blend into the face-framing layers so there’s no hard grow-out line. A rich single-process chestnut brown, no highlights, no dimension tricks. Oval and heart face shapes will love this. Round faces, honestly, the volume at the sides will only add width.
#21 Sun-Kissed Curly Collarbone Cut with Dark Root Contrast
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is your cut. The layers here were clearly cut dry, curl by curl, which is why they spring at different lengths without looking choppy or uneven. What caught my eye is how much the dark root shadow is doing for the overall shape, giving depth at the crown so the golden blonde pieces around the face read as dimension rather than just highlights growing out. This is a collarbone length on medium density 3A curls with a side-leaning part that keeps the volume asymmetrical. It flatters oval and oblong faces particularly well. The color is a balayage with heavy saturation through the midshaft, left deliberately warmer and less platinum than most blondes request. That warmth is doing the heavy lifting. Go cooler and the whole thing falls flat. The honest problem is upkeep. Those blonde pieces on naturally dark hair will brass within weeks without purple shampoo and toning appointments every eight to ten weeks, and skipping even one round shows fast.
#22 Golden Blonde Long Curls with a Natural Center Part
If your curls are fine individually but you have a lot of them, this is your reference photo. Notice how the curl pattern is tight and uniform from root to end, which means this hair was likely cut dry, curl by curl, with no razoring or heavy texturizing that would cause frizz at the ends. The blonde here reads warm and dimensional because it’s a hand-painted balayage over a darker golden base, not a full highlight. That’s what keeps it from looking flat or one-note. This works on oval and longer face shapes, and the center part is doing real work to elongate rather than widen. If you have a round or square face, a side part would be the better call. Fine-haired curly people will not get this result. The density is doing most of the heavy lifting.
#23 Auburn Curly Collarbone Length with Sun-Caught Highlights
If your curls are fine individually but dense in quantity, this is worth studying. The layers here were cut dry, and you can tell because the shortest pieces around the face land exactly where they need to without any awkward gaps. What caught my eye is the color concentration at the ends and outer curls, a hand-painted technique that leaves the roots a deeper chestnut while the mid-lengths pick up warm copper and honey. It reads natural. On round or square face shapes, the volume at the temples could widen things in a way you don’t want. This cut will not hold its shape if you skip diffusing entirely.
#24 Copper Red Curly Collarbone Cut with Layered Movement
That copper is not natural, and that’s worth knowing upfront because maintaining a red this warm on curly hair is genuinely demanding. Fading happens fast. The cut itself is collarbone length with interior layers carved dry to let each curl spring individually, which is why you see that mix of tighter ringlets near the face and looser movement toward the ends. Medium density hair. If your curls are finer or thinner, you won’t get this same fullness without product doing a lot of heavy lifting. What I keep looking at is how the shortest layers frame right at the cheekbone, which makes this particularly good for oval and oblong face shapes where you want width through the middle. Square faces might find it adds bulk exactly where they don’t want it. This is a great cut for someone with a reliable curl pattern who wants shape without losing length.
#25 Warm Honey Curly Bob with Undone Texture
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, this is your cut. The layers here were clearly cut dry and shaped curl by curl, which is why the ends look loose and unforced instead of blunt or poofy. Notice the color sits mostly on the mid-lengths and tips, a hand-painted honey blonde over a natural medium brown root, and it catches light without screaming “highlights.” This won’t work on very coarse or tightly coiled textures the same way. Oval and heart-shaped faces wear this length well because it sits right at the jaw and opens up the neck. Humidity will wreck the definition fast.
#26 Natural Blonde Curly Collarbone Cut with Loose Definition
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, look here. This collarbone-length cut lets medium-density curls sit where they naturally want to, with layers that start around the cheekbone and keep the shape rounded without any pyramid effect. The color is a soft natural blonde with slightly lighter pieces woven through the mid-lengths, likely from a few foils placed to catch light rather than a full highlight. What strikes me is how the curls vary in tightness from root to end, and the cut doesn’t fight that. It works well for oval and oblong face shapes. Square jaws will find the volume at the sides widens things. This will not look like this on wash day without product and diffusing.
#27 Rich Burgundy Curls with Copper Ends and Natural Density
If your curls are fine individually but there are a lot of them, look at how this works. The density is doing most of the heavy lifting here, not the layers. What caught my eye is that the shortest layers sit right at the cheekbone, which means the shape fans outward from the middle of the face rather than from the crown, and that’s a specific dry-cutting decision that keeps the volume from going round. The color is a deep burgundy base with hand-painted copper warming up the lower third, and on dark natural hair that transition reads seamless in person but will fade unevenly within six weeks. Oval and oblong faces will love this. Round faces, honestly, won’t. The width at ear level adds horizontal emphasis that you cannot style around.
#28: Soft Curly Lob with a Wispy Fringe
I like how the bangs sit and look like they just land there. I imagine there is probably a good diffusing technique behind it, but the looseness of the curls gives it that effortless look. The end layering is the little detail that helps with everything, it stops the shape from being boxy and lets the curls move. For someone wanting bangs and worried about them being too thick with curl, this is the version I would suggest.
#29: Cropped Curly Cut with Warm, Honeyed Tones
Such a beautiful color! The golden tones create a shine and glow effect from the light reflecting off the curls. The shorter length enhances the color and livens everything up. I love how the curls are more natural and not overly styled. It looks great! If you’ve been nervous about going shorter, this is the kind of cut that makes people question how long they’ve put it off!
#30: Layered Curls with Movement and Light
What I like most is the way the layers are cut differently, so the curls fall in differing places. This keeps the hair looking lively, but not too wild. The placement of the highlights is perfect, so that not all of the curls compete for the light. It is the type of cut that looks good whether you spend 20 mins or 2 mins styling it, which is what most of my clients want.
#31: Curly Pixie with a Longer Fringe
I appreciate the trust you placed in me for this short curly haircut. It certainly is a big commitment! The longer pieces in the front are great for softening the overall look of the cut and preventing it from looking too severe. This look is super low maintenance! Just some curl cream that you can scrunch in while your hair is wet. I really believe this is a cut that allows people to look more like themselves. I’m excited to see you in the chair more often for shape touch ups!
#32: Curly Lob That Sits Just Right
This length is doing what it should, just sitting above the shoulders so the curls can spring up and frame the face without weighing them down. I can see the ends have been lightened with the subtlest layering, which helps get rid of that one heavy look. It really is a cut that respects what the curl wants to do naturally as opposed to fighting against it. The sort of effect that looks like you didn’t really put in too much effort, which is often the hardest thing to actually achieve.
#33: Polished Curly Lob with Structure
Really loving the cut! The shape looks very clean. I can tell it probably runs well with leave in. The curls stay defined from wash to wash, and it looks to be a very versatile style. I wish more people would realize how versatile of a cut it is.
#34: Tousled Curly Lob with Sun-Warmed Highlights
The highlights appear to have been done through all seasons which looks amazing! The way they are more dominant throughout the mids and ends of the hair where the curls open up so the lighter pieces are visible is perfect. I love the overall relaxed and undone shape. It has an air of nonchalance which is what I love most about it. It doesn’t look like it is trying to be anything more than what it is.
#35: Soft Textured Cut with Gentle Curl Definition
The soft appearance is so inviting. The curls fall just right in a way that looks inviting. The layers are light enough to create shape without the hassle of managing so many different lengths. The color has a hint of warmth and some depth, but I wouldn’t call it highlights. This cut really emphasizes the health of the hair, and that can be the most important factor.
#36: Shoulder-Length Curls with an Even, Rounded Shape
What stands out most to me about this cut is the consistency in the size of the curls. The uniformity in width of the spirals creates a really nice visual harmony to the shape. With a good moisture cream this shape will be especially good on humid days when curls tend to puff out. This is a classic style that won’t feel out of date in a year, or even five years, and I think that understated longevity is very underappreciated.
#37: Long Spiraling Layers with a Healthy Sheen
You have obviously put time and care into maintaining your beautiful hair and it shows. The curls are nice and light which suggests that there are enough layers in your hair to create fullness without weight. The highlights are nice and subtle which help to add depth and dimension to your hair without being too overpowering. Overall, your hair looks like it has a life of its own and I mean that in the best possible way!
#38: Airy Curls with Dimensional Highlights
You’ve received loads of praise about your hair! The lighter strands in your hair are really well woven. They help break up the flat consistency of the hair. The layers feel light and the shape stays close to the head, without being tight. I would consider how much time you want to spend in the morning before you commit to this amount of definition. If you enjoy the process of styling, this is a cut that will be rewarding to maintain.
#39: Short Curly Cut with Warm Golden Pieces
This haircut has a relaxed feel which i love. The curls are textured beautifully and I appreciate how different sizes and directions. Rather than appearing messy, the curls look natural. The highlights are warm and not brassy which is tricky with curly hair. The curls catch the light and can show undertones, so highlights can be a problem, but it’s not with this cut. The length of the hair makes styling easy, and the overall look is bright and effortless.
#40: Long Curly Layers with Caramel Running Through
The caramel color looks classy especially with the way it plays with the curls. The color catches the curls where they separate, giving a really nice, naturally effortless depth, which can be difficult to achieve. The darker roots are also nice and help balance the look. I will say the color will need some upkeep every few months as the colors can get dull, but when it’s fresh, it’s definitely a head-turner!
#41: Long Defined Curls with a Soft Balayage
The balayage is subtle, and that’s what works here. The curls are the perfect amount of toned down color so they look dimensional without color being the focal point. The length is great, falling past the shoulders with real weight to it. I appreciate when a cut can take you from a more casual look to something a bit more dressed up without having to change anything, and this is exactly that kind of style.
#42: Full, Flowing Curls with Varying Patterns
This style has a really interesting feature – the variation in the curl patterns is quite stunning. The combination of some parts having tighter spirals whereas other parts consist of looser, wider and more open waves creates a really beautiful and intricate texture. The hair design also has a lot of visual elements going on and so it is a great option for photography. When curls want to separate, a lightweight serum really helps hold them together.
#43: Curly Shag with Intention
Shags endure as classics, especially with this shag and the natural curly texture. This shag has been shaped and structured with the layers cut at the ends so that it doesn’t look boxy, and the signature shape is maintained. The cut has personality which is great, and usually this attracts clients who know what they want, so I appreciate that.
#44: Rich Curls with Caramel Depth
The smooth change from dark roots to caramel strands is great. Curly hair can be difficult to blend so this is impressive. The curl definition is nice and they don’t look overdone which is always my target. The curls are very voluminous and the layers prevent this from being excessive. She has a beautiful warm color to her hair, the length suits her wonderfully!
#45: Shoulder-Length Curls with a Relaxed Shape
The best thing about this cut is that it doesn’t require a lot of work. The layers are soft, the curls are free flowing and with the shape being easy and flattering, it’s equally as versatile. It can be worn on a Tuesday morning and a Saturday evening with no problem. Just be sure to keep it moisturized, a good conditioner will do way more for this cut than styling products.
#46: Ombre Curls with Textured Layers
The ombre effect is great. The way the ends curl is also very interesting. The texture at the ends has been layered so the curls are individual instead of blending with the other curls around them. I recommend a curl defining cream to be worked through on wet hair and left alone to dry because the less you touch curly hair while it’s drying, the more defined the curls are.
#47: Bouncy Layered Curls with a Modern Feel
The layers have a fun bounce and are meant to give the curls life. The whole look has an energy that is othervise hard to achieve if the cut wasn’t so clean. The length is manageable and the look is more effortless rather than needing a ton of product to achieve the same. If you’ve got curls and you’ve been wearing you hair the same way, this is the type of layering that will change how you feel about your hair.
#48: Long Cascading Curls with Natural Fullness
Long curls have a certain generosity to them. Because bouncy curls have a way of filling space in a very alive way. This cut has great layering that helps avoid that triangle look longer curly cuts tend to fall into. The curls are defined all the way down and you just want to shake the hair and let it do its thing. And it would! At this length you have to keep the hair hydrated. So, it is worth your time to find a deep conditioning routine that works for you.
#49: Curly Bob with Warm Ombre Tones
I wish I saw this hairstyle more! The curly bob looks amazing and I love the way the lightened tips are a little sun faded and super natural. Bob length is so modern and easy to maintain. The curls are so defined but not in a stiff way and that means the product situation is on point! The look has its own POV so it needs no explaining.
#50: Shoulder-Length Defined Curls with Natural Volume
The curls look nice and have a good weight to them. They also don’t look too heavy to lose their softness. Shoulder length is one of those sweet spots when it comes to curly hair because you get movement without having to deal with longer styles. I could see this working on a lot of different people, and I don’t say that about every cut. I think the main thing to keep in mind is humidity, so having a product you trust and diffuser you like will make a difference.
#51: Medium-Length Curls with Rich Texture
The hair has a lot of healthy hair. You can tell that this hair has received a lot of care. Each separate curl is very bouncy and tight, and gives the hair a really natural appearance. The volume is very good. I really like big full looks and the lack of refinement in this image is appreciated. I can tell that this design is meant to display fullness and a very healthy appearance, which is a product of good moisture. Also, the care and touch that goes into styling this look is important.
#52: Shaped Curly Bob with Bounce
The shaping for this bob is great! You can see how the layers are cut to compliment the curl pattern, rather than go against it. Because the curls separate naturally, the individualized trajectory of each curl elevates the style. Clearly, some type of uniform cutting is going to leave the hair style with significantly less liveliness! More frequent trims will be required with this cut, but the effort will be worth it. Each day the style will look balanced and tailored.
