Help for Curly Hair: Top Five Styling Tips for Beautiful, Natural Curls

Curly hair can sometimes feel like a curse with so much maintenance required. Here are five simple styling ideas that’ll help create a curly look — without the fuss.

Curly hair can be challenging to style and manage. The key is to work with curls instead of fighting against them. Skincare-news.com’s latest article, “Top Five Styling Tips for Curly Hair,” offers some curly hairstyle ideas to help create variety, manage frizz and enhance natural curl.

 

1. Wear it long.

While women can absolutely have a cute curly bob, this cut may be tricky to keep up. For a more effortless look, try keeping some length, which helps weigh down curls. Ask a hair stylist for a layered style that’s medium to long. An unlayered, blunt cut can create a bottom heavy look. Instead, opt for layers that are angled back, starting at the jaw line.

 

2. Clip it up with a claw.

Creating updos with long, curly hair is more difficult than with straight hair, as curls tend to take up more space and prevent the claw from attaining maximum hold. But there’s an easy fix: Use claws with multiple thin tines instead of those with only five or six thick tines. Secure hair in a low ponytail first for more support.

 

3. Embrace bangs.

Women with curly hair often avoid bangs, as they can require more maintenance. However, bangs are especially stylish — particularly when paired with long, wavy hair. Try long, thick, sidestepped bangs with long layers. These bangs can be easily flat ironed in seconds, eliminating the typical hassle of fringe cuts.
