Curly Hairstyles - Our Top 20

The new curly looks

No, the sleek look is far from over. Straight hair is still super trendy. Thousands of women fight their natural curls or waves every day with straighteners and the like to banish the last bit of movement from their hair. The question of whether this is really necessary is therefore allowed - especially because curly hairstyles offer so many very different styling options that are not only sexy, but also much gentler on the hair.

Curly hairstyles: Simply tempting!

An untamed curly mane generally stands for temperament, casualness and informality. Open and unstyled, curly hairstyles are a real eye-catcher! And in the evening, they make for impressive wow effects in a tamed version, with or without hair accessories. Many women with natural curls are also often envied by their gender - especially by those with straight hair. Yet it is not at all easy to conjure up an enticing look from a head of curls, because styling them is not at all easy: if they fall beautifully all by themselves, you are lucky. Because curly hair usually forms the infamous "hair triangle" at the ends all by itself, where the natural curls get wider and wider towards the tips.

When it comes to curls, it's all about the haircut

To transform curly "bad hair" into a great curly hairstyle, one thing matters most: the right haircut. This is because curly hair is usually strong by nature and tends to be rather unruly and resistant - especially to most styling tricks. A layered cut is the way to go here, because it gives the individual curls enough space to develop their bounce. But whether short or long curls - the cut must suit the hair type and the look of the wearer!

Getting the curly hairstyle on track

For those who can only dream of such problems and want nothing more than a wild curl, there's no need to despair just yet. There are plenty of great helpers, tips and tricks to give straight hair a leg up! First and foremost, the curling iron or the straightening iron. Both give movement and fullness to the individual strands and can be styled into seductive Hollywood or beach waves - just as the mood takes you. Still very popular and also extremely effective: the good old curlers, which gently and permanently curl the hair. They provide a lot of hold for many hours, so that even a long, danced-through party night can't do too much damage to the curly hairstyle. If that's still not enough: perms are far from dead either! The chemical substances ensure a long-lasting reshaping of the hair structure, so that even heavy, straight hair can be brought into swing with it. Lots of hair care is a must after a perm, by the way.
