Curly hair is the texture of hair dreams. Curls offer instant body and volume and look gorgeous at every length, but are especially striking on longer lengths.
Whether you have tight ringlets, springy curls, frizzy texture, or lots of layers, we have the perfect look for you.
We often see bangs on short hairstyles but on long curly hair, it’s unique. For small, tight ringlets, wear bangs so they fall at the brow. For looser ringlets, give bangs a blow out.
Who says you need tons of time to make your curls precise? Natural texture is beautiful, so avoid over-brushing hair. All you need is a great conditioner and a hydrating creme.
Having thick, curly hair is truly a blessing. Cut layers on the bottom half of your hair to create movement, give shape, and reduce weight on the scalp.
Fine hair becomes stringy on longer lengths, but curly hair has the advantage of natural body. Wear your hair as long as you choose, but consider layers for an illusion of thickness.
Curly blonde curly hair is pretty rare, so wear it long and proudly! Lighter hair colors are typically weaker, so be sure to use strengthening masks several times a month.
Bring out your inner Tangled and wear your gorgeous red curly locks ultra long! If you dye your hair red, be sure to occasionally use a toner to keep brassy tones at bay.
Not born with curly hair? Switch up your basic straight or wavy/frizzy hairstyle with a time-tested perm. Remember to keep curls moisturized and those gorgeous ringlets in tact.
While most hair types need extensions for body, curly hair naturally provides volume for a gorgeous up-do. A few tendrils or fringe add a touch of balance and femininity.
Space buns are the ultimate playful up-do. Twist those curly locks into two buns on either sides of your head and leave some strands down for a face-framing effect.
Pin curls up for work mode or a formal event but wear them down for a carefree effect. It’s healthiest, in terms of scalp tension and breakage, to wear your long curly hair loose.
Ombre highlighting technique is great for protecting hair. Darker root growth means more time in between trips to the salon, plus it’s trendy right now.
There’s long hair, then there’s really long hair! The lengths in which you take your hair is up to you, just be sure to properly care for all of that hair.
Braids are the perfect way to pull long, curly hair off of your beautiful face. The style is perfect for protecting locks while adding decorative interest.
Looking for the perfect accessory for your long, curly hair? A bandana is perfect at protecting the roots or for tying up as a chic accessory. You can check some bandana hairstyles on hairstylecamp.
Long hair can pull the eye downward, making oval or long face shapes appear longer. A side part spices up long, curly hair and balances a round face shape.
Whoever said frizz was bad simply wanted curly hair! A little frizz is actually trendy today and playing up that texture is the perfect way to embrace your natural hair.
Embracing your natural texture is what the current hair movement is all about. Loose waves are nice, but naturally kinky curls are even better. Just don’t forget to moisturize.
Hair thins and grows coarser as we age, but if you’re blessed with thick, curly hair, then why not show it off? We love silver, white, and ash gray curls on women over 50.
Oval faces are balanced and symmetrical but long hair makes faces appear even longer. Curls, however, add texture that creates volume in a way long, straight hair can’t.
As you can see, your perfect long, curly hairstyle is out there. Embrace or create the unique texture of your tresses and wear your hair the way that makes you feel great!
