YouYou can try so many cute types with your wavy locks, including Bantu knots, for an elegant yet simple style, for an elegant yet simple style. Try this look by applying some curl-boosting products to your locks and combing through. Next, create two loose and messy buns on either side of your head; leave out some face-framing tendrils to complete this look.
Pineapple Ponytail
Rihanna may have made this look cool, but her pineapple hair method is one of the best ways to stretch out curls overnight. Pile loose strands atop your crown like pineapple petals; this style helps your rings maintain their defined form while eliminating frizz and bedhead issues.
For an elegant pineapple ponytail, brush out any ringlets to smooth them and eliminate tangles. Next, secure all your hair into a high ponytail with either a scrunchie or a large elastic. Ensure your scrunchie is large enough to cover your curls completely without compressing them too tightly!
Finish your look off with an elegant silk scarf to add an extra splash of color and protect your ponytail strands from getting wet. Not only does it add flair, but this beautiful accessory keeps wetness away and gives it some much-needed shelter from rain!
Half-Up-Half-Down
A half-up, half-down style is a timeless and chic style. Pull your strands back into a sleek half-up bun and secure it with some pins before allowing the remaining hair to fall gently down for a princess-worthy coif.
Bring extra flair to this look by adding curling iron-smoothed waves to your strands before styling, and teasing up bangs for an additional elegance. This half-up hairstyle may appear complex, but it’s easy to achieve. Pinch up a small section of your crown, twist, and pin. Repeat on both sides, adding beautiful pearl pins as accents if desired – perfect for weddings and red-carpet events.
Loose Braids
One of the cutest hairstyles for curly locks is a loose braid style. Not only is this an effective protective style that won’t pull on your scalp and damage less, but it’s also a great way to show off those curly locks without worry over tangles or frizz!
To achieve this look, braid your hair in two loose braids – ensure it is clean before beginning and detangle any knots from it first. Once you have two loose braids in place, pin them to the top of your head to create a half-up, half-down look. Use bobby pins to keep them secure for an extra pretty effect. For an added pop of color and flirtiness, add light balayage highlights through your stylist for an airy balayage treatment – this will add color while providing a soft yet flirty style!
Faux Bob
TyLynne turned to her faux bob as an easy solution to hide length. TyLynne tucked it under the neckline of her knit sweater for added volume; alternatively, you could smooth yours back under a low ponytail base and pin securely for maximum face-framing power! Tease out the top layers for a book to complete an unforgettable short coif that doesn’t involve cutting your locks!
For an intricate style, divide your hair into three sections and create a fishtail braid on one side before twisting and tying it into two buns with hair ties on either end for security. Finally, add cute touches by strategically placing bobby pins to elevate your new look further. Style the remaining pieces strands around your face using any holding product of choice and finish off the look with a spray of your favorite fragrance for a stylishly shortened look that you can rock every day or even to work!
