The thing we love most about curls? Versatility. With hair that naturally gives so much texture and height, the hairstyles for curly hair are endless. We’ve rounded up a few curly hair tips, product recommendations and easy go-to styles for hair of all lengths or any curlfriend just looking to try something new.
How to style curly hair
Crown of Curls
A crown fit for a queen. Bask in all your regalness with this super-sleek updo. Simply pull up your curls with an oversized hair-tie or pins and you’re good to go. To take your curls to even higher heights, pull your puff toward the front of your head and pick the curls for a high pineapple. Finish with Forming Fiber to slick down the sides and tame rogue flyaways.

Fearless ‘Fro
Dating back to the 60’s, the Afro has always made a statement. Whether yours is adorned with defined ringlets or picked-out coils like the one above, it’s a hairstyle that will always turn heads. When perfecting your ‘fro, focus on creating shape and height by picking from the roots.
Curly Bangs
Who said bangs are just for straight hair? Frame your face with some curly bangs to switch things up. The key to achieving the perfect length of curly bangs is to have them cut by a professional. Figuring out the right length whether you’re wearing them straight or curly can be tricky. Put the scissors down and leave it to the pros.
Half-Up, Twist-Down
Take your twist-out to the next level by bringing an old classic back. Gather a handful of twists (or curls) for a top pony and let the rest fall in the back. The trick is to gauge the right amount of hair you want in each section. For a fuller pony, add more hair to the top half. If you’re feeling adventurous, feel free to add a bang in the front like the one above. Finish with a barrette or a cool hair-tie for a pop of color.
Classic Middle Part
Less is definitely more with this go-to curly hairstyle. Opting for a middle part is a great way to naturally frame the face if you’re looking to give your hair some dimension. Start by taking a comb and making a part down the middle of your head. As a tip, using a rat-tail comb gives the best precision. After executing a sharp middle part, feel free to style your hair to your liking. Use a dime-size amount of Curl Cream to refresh twists and reactivate curls.

Tips for maintaining curly hairstyles
Allow your hair to dry completely. We know the drying process can be a drag and can sometimes seem endless but know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Letting your hair to dry completely allows for all the products you used to set and do their thing. Disrupting this process can create frizz and defeat the purpose of all that styling.
Take down styles with oil to reduce frizz. After letting the hair set and allowing the products to work their magic, maintain that definition by coating your hands with some hair oil before taking down your hairstyle. This works especially well when taking down a twist-out or separating curls for fullness. Try using a pump of Ghost Oil in your palms to give your curls a smooth and shiny finish.

Preserve your curls with silk. The most important thing next to executing a style is preserving it. Sleeping with a silk scarf, a bonnet or a silk pillowcase is key when it comes to curls. First, silk helps your hair retain moisture by not absorbing it like materials similar to cotton would. But aside from that, it helps eliminate excess friction which can cause static, frizz and breakage. So do your curls a favor and invest in some silk products.
