This is one of those two-second styles that we absolutely love. Changing up your part gives you a whole new look in quite literally seconds. Try this straight middle part for a super symmetrical look that can easily take you from the office to co*cktails.
2. Curly Top Knot
We love the look of naturally curly hair in a big top knot. This style is a cinch to do. Prep your hair with extra moisture while you define your ringlets with Bed Head By TIGI On the Rebound Curl Recall Cream. Then, create a bun right on the top of your head. You can loosen up little pieces to stick out for a fun look.

3. Pinned Back Pieces
If you get bored by wearing your hair just loose but don’t have a lot of time to style, try pinning back a few pieces. Just grab a small section of hair from the front of your hairline and pin back. The higher up you pin the hair the more modern the look. If you opt to pin right behind your ear you’ll get a super cute 1950s hairstyle.
4. Quick and Easy Ponytail
We know you know how to create a ponytail. We love this style because high ponytails have a fun bouncy look on naturally curly hair. Low ponytails are great too, they tend to work better if you’ll be wearing a hat. Add extra style to your ponytail by using a glitzy clip to cover your hair tie, or cover it with a small section of hair. You’ll be ready in minutes and you don’t need to deal with hair getting in your face.
5. Voluminous All Over
We love volume on those with curly hair. To create even bigger curls, tease naturally curly hair by backcombing. Top it off with a headband and set your style with TRESemméCompressed Micro Mist Hairspray Extend Hold Level 4so that your curls don’t fall flat.

6. Rockabilly Roll
This rolled style looks complex but it’s really quite easy! For some inspiration, check out ourtutorial for victory rolls. To create a rockabilly roll, you just do one victory roll in the center (instead of one on either side of your part). After creating the roll, loosen it up a little bit so the roll falls slightly over your forehead. And that’s it!
7. Deep Side Part
A deep side part is a great way to show off your super defined curls. All you need to do is part your hair as far over on one side as you can. Then just sweep the hair on the shorter side over the opposite shoulder. It gives off an asymmetrical lookthat’s also super easy to create!
8. Defined Curls
When you’re in a rush but still want your curls to look hi-def, just quickly run your curler through your style. You don’t have to curl every section, just pick a few to define to add volume and more curl to your look.
9. Top Knot with Side Fringe
Top knots are an obvious choice, but give this style an upgrade with some side fringe to help frame your face. Pull down a few curly tendrils in the front for a more finished style. Maintain your curl shape with a few spritzes of TRESemmé One Step Styler Curls Crème-Gel.

10. Faux Bang Updo
If side bangs aren’t your style for your naturally curly hair, why not go for a whole faux bangs look? Bring all your curls to the front and strategically pin them to give the impression of bangs. You can have fun with this style and pin them in any direction to create any kind of part.
Wet-cutting gives a consistent end to the curls, not shattered like dry-cutting can give. This results in a more consistent shape and less frizz. Wet-cutting gives your curls the ability to not always fall the exact same way and still look good.
To invigorate your curls, water is your BFF. 'Use a water spray and spritz the hair.Then, reapply your leave-in conditioner, gels or serums to reactivate the curls,' says Sultan. That said, if you're someone with looser curls, a good salt spray can do a great job of creating texture and revitalising the wave or curl.
Twists and “braid outs” are the most simple and fastest ways for achieving definition on your natural hair. Simply apply a curling custard of gel to your hair and braid or twist each section. Once the sections are dry, unravel, separate the curls and fluff out your hair for more volume.
Adding moisture can be done by using oils or a good conditioner. It's important that you go for an oil with natural ingredients, minerals, and vitamins. The oil can help preserve the moisture in the hair - and control the frizz, which means that your curls will be much easier to handle and style.
Understanding the Pineapple Technique for Curly Hair
Simply collect your locks at the top of your head & secure them in place with a silk or satin scrunchie, scarf or bonnet. Reach for the PATTERN Satin Cap & Satin Scrunchies to luxuriate & lounge in your pineapple-style.
The best way to keep long curly hair fresh overnight is to tie it up in a pineapple. Simply grab the nearest non-snag tie or scrunchie and tie hair loosely in a ponytail on top of your head. If you have a fringe or shorter face-framing pieces, use a small butterfly clip to secure them and you're bed-ready.
This is the easiest method of scrunching your hair overnight, as it only requires a hair tie (or a few hair ties if you have thick hair or layers). Scrunching your hair into a bun overnight will allow it to develop curl and volume.
Our experts agree that most curl types should be cut on an angle. For tight curls, uneven layering works best. Make certain your cut doesn't flatten your crown. To avoid a flat top, try a short layer under a longer layer to pump up the volume.
Shoulder-length haircuts look great with curly texture—whether its larger, loose wavy hair, medium-sized springy curls, or smaller ringlets. A mid-length, it's not too long and not too short. Plus, a layered medium curly hairstyle will retain some length, build volume, and amplify the texture of your curls.
Long, cascading layers: Perfect for those with long, Type 3 Curls. This style features long layers that cascade down the back. These layers are designed to reduce bulk and weight, allowing the curls to spring up naturally.
Things like hair length, curl pattern, face shape, and how fast your hair grows can help you decide the best curly haircut for you. Generally speaking, the best curly haircut is one where the overall shape looks symmetrical, it complements your face shape, and the ends look clean and healthy.
