Messy Curly Hairstyles and Low Maintenance Cuts
Messy, curly hairstyles require low-maintenance cuts that won’t over-process your curls. A medium amount with choppy layers should suffice, as this will prevent over-processing while adding volume to face-framing locks. Put some texturizing product in this style and diffuse or air dry for an effortless look that remains fresh and bouncy – perfect for casual wear with a beard or mustache.
High Ballet Bun
Remarkable, messy buns can look just as polished as a classic chignon. Pull back hair into a low ponytail, crisscross, and twist sections into an unruly knot, adding decorative hair pins or scrunchies as finishing touches and secure them with bobby pins to keep everything secure. This cute and stylish hairstyle is ideal for any special event or romantic occasion, such as dates. To add romantic flair add braids at the top of your messy knot for added romantic flair. This will draw out natural strands and frame your face nicely! Use a hair net or donut to achieve a neater appearance and add volume, then finish by setting your style with hairspray for extra security.
Low Ponytail
Curly girls can enjoy wearing low ponytails as an easy, low-maintenance way of creating flattering and comfortable styles that remain stylish. A low ponytail hairstyle makes the ideal hairstyle when it comes to relaxation! If you have bangs, leave them out of the ponytail to frame your face and add extra drama and dimension. Try dry volume spray or teasing for additional texture and dimension. Gugu Mbatha-Raw shows how to create an effortlessly chic and romantic low ponytail style, complete with texture.
Tapered Fade
A taper fade is ideal for anyone with curly hair who wishes to create a clean and modern look. This style gradually shortens your side and back hair while leaving the top part longer, creating an eye-catching contrast and helping you appear more masculine and well-kept. This hairstyle works for any face shape and is an ideal business professional style. Low maintenance and simple to style, it makes an excellent option for men who wish to show off their curls while adding an exciting visual contrast between the short sides and the back of the style and the brushed-up top.
Scissor Crop
Scissor crop hairstyles provide an effortlessly stylish look without exposing too much skin. Typically featuring a medium fade with short sides and an unfringed fringe, scissor crop haircuts make an excellent option for men who wish to keep their hair short but desire the polish of a fade haircut. A side part works perfectly well, and for added rockstar flair, you can pin up some strands for an added textured effect. Complete the look by pairing this hairstyle with leather jeans and a band t-shirt.
Inverted Bob
Suppose you want a feminine and voluminous style with curly hair. In that case, the inverted bob with choppy layers may be just what’s needed to give you that desirable feminine and voluptuous appearance. Its chin-length style features short layers in the back, while longer face-framing pieces make this unique style suitable for any event or special occasion. Hire your stylist to add a balayage effect with blonde hues for added texture and dimension to this stacked bob. A dramatic contrast between warm and cool tones will make your style stand out. Perfect for oval and diamond face cuts as it helps slim down wide cheeks and broad foreheads; pair this look with side-swept bangs for an eye-catching, sexy finish!
Modern Shag
Shag hairstyles are iconic rock ‘n’ roll looks, casual yet striking at once. A classic shag cut features choppy ends and layers along the crown area with longish feathered bangs to complete its relaxed yet effortless appeal. Curly shag hairstyles work for all hair textures yet look most effective on naturally curly, wavy, and permed locks. Curly shags also allow them to show off color through lighter hues like strawberry bronde. Arizona Muse has the perfect modern shag hairstyle that balances casual and chic. Her medium-length bob features short, choppy curls in its crown area with longer, textured layers framing her face for a stylish yet casual look.
