Features of hairstyles for curly hair

• The scales on the surface of curly hair do not fit evenly and tightly to each other, so their cuticle is literally riddled with voids.

• Because of such aporous structure Cunted hair strongly absorbs moisture, but they also lose it actively.

• Curly hair tends to be dry and fluffier, it feels hard and “crunchy” to the touch.

• Unsmoothed scales reflect light worse, that’s why curly hair in girls often looks dull and lifeless, lacking gloss.

• Split ends are most noticeable on curly hair.

Curly hair has many characteristics that make it more difficult to choose a suitable "curly" hairstyle and necessitate cutting it more frequently than straight strands of hair.

Curly hair has a distinct texture that can be worn in a variety of ways. A well-chosen haircut can enhance its inherent beauty and make it easier to manage. There are many options to fit every type of curl and face shape, from trendy short styles like bobs or pixies to layered cuts that add volume. We’ll look at the newest styles and creative ideas for curly haircuts in this post to help you find a new style that accentuates your curls.

What do haircuts look like for wavy hair of different lengths

The SalonSecret expert team’s stylists showed us examples of hairstyles for long, medium, and short curly hair in the attached photo.

Haircuts for short curly hair

Girls with short, curly hair look great with a variety of shoulder-length haircuts, including bob-bobs, torn hairstyles, bobs on the legs, and more. Short curls, a pixie cut with open ears and a shaved back of the head, an undercut extended in the parietal zone, and a more subdued, elegant bob all look very good with it! These are great options for rejuvenation, by the way!

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Stylists suggest using styling products designed especially for curly hair to highlight the texture and geometry of a haircut. Take a small cream Tecni, for instance. L’Oréal Professionnel’s Art Bouncy& Tender is sufficient to prevent curls from jutting out in various directions, and fluffy curls appear polished and well-defined without the need for additional work.

Haircuts for curly hair of medium length

Asymmetrical medium-length curly hair haircuts highlight the oval shape, conceal age-related facial changes, and create the most expressive image possible. Any shade of curls, cut in layers, will look stylishly negligent with a shaggy haircut, as will light or light brown hair. Examine the circular cascade more closely; it is certainly worthy of notice.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Curl fixation is sometimes necessary during the day for curly hair haircuts. The L’Oréal Professionnel gel-mousse Transformer has long been a favorite of ours for this purpose because it accentuates curls’ natural structure, tames them, and gives curly hairstyles their ideal shape.

Haircuts for long curly hair

Graduation is a technique that is required to strengthen discipline and give curls the proper outlines. Effective long curly hairstyles include the creative rhapsody with bangs and graduated ladders, which allow you to trim off extra thickness in your hair. However, it is best to forgo thinning the ends because it leaves a persistent, retro "flavor" on curls.

Experts from SalonSecret share a lifehack. Make it a habit to use a hairdryer or hot tools to dry your hair only after using thermal protection. For curly hair, oil-based products work best because they prevent overheating, act as an antistatic, remove frizz and porosity, moisturize, and add shine. Examine these products more closely; Redken Oil for All, Biolage Exquisite Oil, and Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaextreme are sure to become your favorites.

Fashionable haircuts for curly hair: 2025 trends

Which intriguing curly hairstyles are this season’s trendsetters opting for? We both tell and demonstrate!

Garson

Garson also holds onto its positions in 2022. This hairstyle, which is perky and mischievously boyish, adds a unique charm to the image, creates splendor, and highlights the elegant neck. These women’s curly hair haircuts distribute the volume of the hairstyle correctly and prevent the crown from becoming flat.

Gel-cream Kérastase Gelée Curl Contour

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Use Kérastase’s Gelée Curl Contour cream to "put" short hair even more. In addition to helping to create a lovely curl shape, its formula also moisturizes dry curls, increasing their moisture content by 64%. After applying style, haphazardly twist the hair into bundles, and use a diffuser-equipped hairdryer to finish drying.

Cascade

For wavy hair, a cascade haircut looks like it was made just for them. Maybe it is. In addition, if you want to lighten thick, heavy hair and eliminate extra volume, you need a multi-layered haircut cascade. After the haircut, the layers lose their own weight, rise at the roots, and become more elastic and transparent. The master chooses each layer’s length based on the structure of the curls.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Those who have thin hair below the shoulders should expect that the volume of the cascade may not be sufficient. A sealing spray from L’Oréal Professionnel’s Serie Expert Volumetry will elegantly solve the issue. The product’s salicylic acid prolongs the strands’ freshness and cleanliness.

With a shaved temple

Intentionally careless, thick curls on the crown and cleanly shaven temples are this year’s most fashionable combo. For artistic young women seeking attention or an outward manifestation of their creative "I," curls are a great option for styling. This is precisely how the newest curly hair haircuts look.

Experts at SalonSecret provide a life hack. Using hairspray to fix the style is the last step in creating a curly hairstyle. Allow for a minimal style that maintains the curls’ organic movement. Redken Wind Blown creates this effect by being weightless and highlighting the curls’ texture.

How to cut curly hair?

Cutting curly hair requires a high level of skill and is a whole science. How can curls like this be worked with by professionals only? First of all, curly hair is typically cut dry, so you can fairly accurately anticipate the outcome. Second, this method negatively affects curls because curly hair is not thinned out. We advise against attempting to cut your own hair because you run the risk of losing your lovely, organic waves.

For the most inquisitive, a method of cutting curly hair that uses, as an example, a bob with rounded graduation.

1. The haircut begins with dividing the central parting.
2. Then, diagonal partings are formed from the hair growth lines, going downwards towards the back of the head.
3. In the left or right temporal zone, a central – control – section is selected.
4. It is lightly combed, pulled back and an even cut is made.
5. The same is repeated on the rest of the hair in the temporal-occipital zone, moving from the temple through the back of the head to the opposite temple.
6. Then they move higher, making new diagonal partings with an upward pull and trimming the length to match the control section.
7. At the end – styling with a hair dryer with a diffuser.

Curly hair opens up a world of unusual styles and limitless options. There are many contemporary haircuts that can enhance your natural texture, whether you prefer long, voluminous curls or a short, low-maintenance cut.

The newest hairstyles, which range from daring pixie cuts to stylish layered bobs, are all about embracing your curls and showcasing them to their fullest. A well-chosen cut can simplify styling, add structure, and lessen frizz.
