Make a Statement with Elegant Curly Hairstyles
Make an impressionful statement when video chatting or sharing selfies by sporting an elegant curly hairstyle that complements your natural texture. Embrace your beachy curls or add definition with dry texturizing spray. Keep your face-framing ringlets light and airy with a side-parted style, perfect for black women’s wavy hair and easy to maintain throughout the day. This style works exceptionally well in black women’s wavy locks!
Tousled Curls
Textured tousled styles are one of the most sought-after hairstyles for curly locks. Achieving this voluminous yet relaxed look requires texturizing spray and finger scrunching. This hairstyle works best on medium to long wavy or curly locks without layers.
If your curls lack volume, consider using a quality hair oil to encourage them to spring back up more. You could also add texture by gently tease-brushing through random chunks. Another option is setting your curling iron to low heat to redefine some curls for a more defined and voluminous style.
A short, tapered cut is ideal for curly hair because it keeps the nape tidy while allowing weightier and looser curls on top to develop freely, creating an aesthetically pleasing silhouette that works for almost every personality type.
Shag
The shag is one of the most recognizable natural long curly hairstyles, popularized during the ’70s punk rock scene. It features choppy layers that create more volume and lift around the crown area, often coupled with fringe bangs for an eye-catching effect. This style works on all curly textures but looks particularly significant when associated with an outgrown bob up to shoulder length or beyond.
To elevate the wavy shag style, use TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray to protect and strengthen the curls while blow-drying. Then, tousle it with your fingers to achieve that perfectly imperfect shag look.
Beach Waves
Beach waves are one of the classic wavy hairstyles for long hair, creating an effortless vibe that gives the impression you just returned from vacation. To achieve this style, comb through your locks with a wide-toothed comb and use texturizing spray to define the curl pattern and add dimension.
To create beachy waves, blow out your hair to stretch it and achieve a straighter texture. Then, work in two-inch sections, wrapping each section around your flat iron to form soft waves that extend down towards your chin line.

Balayage Curls
Balayage is a gentle coloring technique that is particularly suitable for curly hair. It involves hand-painting highlights onto your strands, creating natural-looking results that gradually fade. This method is excellent for textured hair as it doesn’t require as much maintenance as other coloring methods and gives a subdued glow.
Consider adding white-blonde stripes around your hairline to add impact to a blonde balayage. This will define your facial features and create an eye-catching contrast with darker base hues.
