Curly hair requires layers to showcase its texture and shape; without them, your bouncy curls may appear flat and lifeless. Give your ringlets some dimension with medium-length layers that frame your face, then pair this style with sandy blonde highlights for a fashionable, chic look that works for all curly hair types and lengths.
Long Layers
Long layered curly hairstyles can add wavy or curly mane volume and bounce. Their layers are subtler than their shorter counterparts and focus on framing your face for an effect similar to face-framing bangs. Long layers make thin, curly locks appear fuller and bouncier!
Gwen Stefani is known for her big curls and has shown them off here with this style. A long, shaggy haircut with choppy middle-parted layers allows her natural coils to move freely without needing to be tamed while adding dimension with blonde tips adding dimension and helping make her strands pop out even further.
For long, kinky curls with high volume, consider layering your mane into a side-parted bob style with layers that frame your face and add more volume. Have your stylist add texturizing spray and caramel balayage highlights for an ultra-chic finish.
Shorter Layers
If you prefer messy hair with ringlets but are afraid of going short with your haircut, layered curly hair with short layers that frame your face can provide structure without altering its natural texture. A stepped cut will add design without diminishing the natural texture of curls.
If a layered cut is too much for you, but you want to add shape to your wavy hair, try opting for a lob. This mid-length haircut looks stunning with a middle part and caramel balayage highlights.
Unleash your wild, curly locks to show off your free-spirited personality with this fun look. Pair a layered bob with bangs to balance out the shape of your face while drawing attention to your gorgeous eyes.
Dark Brown Curls
Curly hair in dark hues can look vibrant and luxurious with just a few highlights that complement your skin tone and eye color for the most flattering results. Choose shades that are complimentary to both.
Red highlights can add depth and shine to your curls while remaining natural-looking. While red may work best with blonde hair colors, adding warm brown highlights could also work in its place.
If you’re uncertain which shade to select, ask your stylist to use a lightener with built-in bonders to reduce damage. This will help your strands remain healthy between salon visits. Honey brown highlights add stunning sun-kissed highlights; ask them to apply them as subtle balayage or ombre highlights instead.
Wavy Hair with Curls
You don’t need naturally wavy or curly locks to achieve beautiful layered hairstyles that showcase your curl pattern. Thin out your locks by layering carefully, and remove excess bulkiness using layers that add thickness without adding volume – just be sure your stylist trims slowly to avoid losing too much of your precious locks!
A middle-part layered curly hairstyle can perfectly frame and balance the shape of your face, drawing attention to its features while emphasizing its beauty. Additionally, this cut highlights the center of your forehead and draws focus toward your eyes – this style works best on medium-length or longer curly locks.
Subtle ombre and blonde highlights can add volume to wavy hair with curly layers, making this style suitable for women with natural blonde or brown hair color. Be sure to use conditioning products that suit your hair type.
Blonde Curls
If you have blonde, curly hair, a layered haircut will add movement and reduce weight by lightening its weight on each strand. Layered blonde kinky coils will increase volume while giving them texture; add depth with subtle highlights or radiant tones for depth and dimension.
This look is ideal for medium to long-length hair and creates the illusion of more minor facial features while flattering your facial structure. Furthermore, its simple maintenance ensures your locks will always appear healthy.
Gwen Stefani knows when and how to be bold regarding her wild and wavy locks, showcasing them with caramel balayage highlights for an irresistibly chic look. Her short, curly cut is stunning when styled with this unique feature.
