8. Clumpy Curls with Highlights. Curly haircuts with clear curl definition look adorable, but there is always more space for customization: for example, ask for subtle highlights scattered throughout your ringlets to spice up the cut.

13. Cascading Long Curly Locks. If you are not happy with the notorious triangle curly hairstyles and want enhanced volume and bounce around the top, ask for layers and well-defined curls or just take this photo with you.

14. Curly Lob with Deep Side Parting. This is a longer variation of the inverted bob, and it shows how much volume and oomph curly hairstyles can get with a good portion of locks swept to one side.

15. Combed-Over Face-Framing Layers. Oval-shaped hairstyles for curly hair sit well with almost any bone structure, except for narrow and long faces. But you can boost the volume even further by throwing your locks over one side.

16. Frizzy Shag with Graduated Bangs. We totally adore low-maintenance hairstyles for curly hair, such as this mid-length shag that lets the girl embrace the natural frizz and effortlessly frames her face with the structured front curls.

17. Dark Copper Curls with Blended Layers. While some hairstyles for curly hair are cut with distinct disconnection, this delicately highlighted hair is all about letting the curls fall into each other with no visible stacking.

18. Well-Defined Curls with Face-Framing Pieces. Although cut at one length on the bottom and flaring toward the ends, this naturally curly hair doesn’t look triangular and flat at the crown due to the smart layering along the cheekbones.

19. Shaggy Wolf Cut for Wavy Curly Hair. When your waves feel limp and the curl pattern needs some sharpening, choppy layering is your go-to option, the more so that the wolf haircut is seriously trending right now.

20. Universal Style with Wide Bangs. This style is fitting for all curly hair types. Add curly bangs and watch the beautiful transformation! However, this style is among the demanding haircuts for curly hair, so try conditioning and oils tailored for natural curly hairstyles.

21. Voluminous Face-Framing Ginger Curls. Many modern curly hair hairstyles incorporate layered side pieces to remove the bulk around the face and accentuate the most prominent facial features.

22. Blonde Rëzo Bob. Curly haircuts created with the dry-cutting Rëzo technique are famous for the body and balance derived from curls of different types, and these 2C waves packed into a diamond-shaped bob provide a good case in point.

23. Spiral Curls. Get a layered haircut, and you’ll give your hair a lot of volume. Wear your bangs on a side or just split it in the middle. Try using a hair product that defines your curls and keeps them bouncy the whole day.

24. Mid-Length Beige Bronde Curly Hair with Layers. If your ringlets are colored and cut the right way, you won’t need to bother your head about how to style curly hair — you just tousle it at the roots and flip it to one side as this girl does.

44. Blonde Medium Curls with Face-Framing. This lovely collarbone-length cut uses diagonal layers near the face to give it a flattering frame and boosts the crown with shorter surface layers shifted to the back.

45. Highlighted Curls with Tapered Ends. While some girls prefer to have a U-shaped or one-length bottom, this lady opts for tapering to place the main focus on the volume around the head rather than on the length.

46. Bouncy Side-Parted Curls. Besides the volume produced by the enhanced curl pattern, the side parting of this tapered cut brings extra lift at the roots, which, together with the width-adding layers, helps to neutralize the narrowness of the face.
