Maintaining thick curly hair requires using products with appropriate moisture-retaining ingredients; avoid those containing sulfates and silicones thath strip moisture and cause dryness.
Opt for a shoulder-length face-framing cut with layers that elongate and flatter your shape, adding some copper highlights for added dimension.
1. Half Updo
A timeless classic that suits any occasion, the half updo showcases your hair texture while remaining polished and elegant.
Tip: Add an ornamental pin or floral hair accessory to elevate this style further.
2. Half-Up Top Knot
Try the half-up top knot for an effortlessly casual but dressy look! Perfect for beach weddings and winter galas alike.
Tip: To prevent flat and limp locks, add volume near the roots by texturizing with spray or dry shampoo before beginning styling your style.
3. Messy Bun
A classic messy bun is an effortless style perfect for weddings or brunch events.
Prompt your locks with dry shampoo for volume and create this look. Gently tease the bun’s base for added texture and spray hairspray for frizz control and hold.
4. Frohawk
A frohawk celebrates the texture and volume of curly locks. It can be bold yet masculine and styled in multiple ways for maximum effect.
Tip: Wet your hair and apply edge control or styling gel. Arrange the curls in an upward swoop and secure them with bobby pins.
5. Space Buns
Create two space buns at the crown from center-parted strands to highlight the volume of your hair.
Tip: Add face-framing tendrils and secure them with thin elastics for a Y2K-inspired style.
6. Slicked Back Sides
Slicked-back hair can look sleek and stylish, especially with clean, tapered sides.
Tip: Consider your hair type when opting for this style. It works best with wavy hair and pairs well with a deep, hard part and partial beard styles for a formal appearance.
