There are times when you’re short on time, and curly hair can be a bit tedious. Pulling off a curly bun is the best thing you can do during those times. The look is simple to put together and exudes a classic vibe. This look calls for a puffy bun that sits high on the crown. You can leave a few strands out to frame your face or keep everything intact. 

2. Layered Curls 

Layered hairstyles are amazing for boosting hair volume without weighing your hair down. Adding layers to your curly hair can accentuate the shape and definition of your curly mane. If you’re sick of detangling and washing your curly hair every time an event calls for a change in your look, it’s time you try something new. Long layered curly hair! 

3. Half-Up Curls 

One of the best perks of getting this look is that it allows you to get the best of both worlds – half up and half down. Wear this look for any upcoming events such as weddings or a formal business affair. The look may require you to master it, but you can achieve it in minutes once you know how to do it. Complete the look by adding a few different accessories like stone barrettes and clips. 

4. Voluminous Pony 

Ponytail hairstyles will never lose their top spot in our styling regimen, no matter how many braids, twists, or buns we master. There are a plethora of styling ponytail hairstyles, and one of our favorite ponytail looks is the voluminous ponytail. Consider getting a multi-layer haircut for volume and apply a little bit of texturizer. Next, wrap a thick strand of hair around the knot to conceal the elastics. 

5. Long Loose Curls 

Add some loose curls to revamp your curly locks. Unless you have a very short pixie, you can wear loose curls with any hair length.  Experimenting with beachy waves will surely make you the envy of many other women. Consider long layered hair if you’re worried about not having enough volume to let your curls fall naturally. 

6. Curled Side Pony 

If you have some length but don’t want your hair to get in the way, a sexy side pony could be the answer. Brush your locks gently and fling them to one side of your face. Gather your strands into a low ponytail to achieve this look. Smooth out frizzy hair with some gel, and use your curling wand to define the curls. You can go for large curls or subtle ringlets and make sure that you apply a bit of hairspray to keep your pony in place. 

7. Curly Low Bun 

The low curly bun is a surprisingly low-maintenance hairstyle. With a few hairpins, hairspray, and a cute headpiece if you desire, you can easily achieve this look hassle-free. The low curly bun is a classic choice – making it perfect for any special event. 

8. Waterfall Curls 

Waterfall curls are in between a curly and wavy hair texture. The look is perfect for running errands and attending parties. You want to curl the bottom half of your hair in a random pattern and a uniform top. And that will give you a look we’re going for here.
