4. Layered Natural Tendrils

There’s a long-antiquated rule that you aren’t supposed to wear bangs with curly hair due to shrinkage and a funny resemblance to a poodle.

11. Curly Hair with Highlights

Blonde curly hair feels less dense than darker shades; that’s because our eyes pick up the surface quality of pale hues and perceive the outlines on deeper ones. Keep your curly bangs in vogue with sandy blonde highlights like the ones pictured.

12. Messy Layered Curls

Blunt hairstyles leave heavy strands and a lack of volume on natural curl patterns. Yet, messy curly layers can help add shape and movement to your ’do, making it more voluminous and relaxed.

@gunnyhastings

21. Messy Medium Waves

Highlight bright blue eyes with soft bangs. Incorporating dark brown pieces into a soft flaxen blonde adds dimension to your curly hair with bangs that enhance the visual interest of the style. Messy waves are universally appealing—you can’t go wrong with this look.

@covensalon

22. Golden Waves with Bangs

Using slightly different hues for length and fringe adds definition to the free-flowing lines of wavy hair. Parting deeply and sweeping your hair to one side blends the blunt edge of the bangs. Dry with an oval paddle brush and wrap any slack sections around a styling wand to refine.

@femmeakoi

23. Soft and Shaggy Bob

No one can deny the appeal of a beautiful blonde bob. It manages to be both sexy and sophisticated at the same time. Take a standard layered cut to the next level by incorporating curls; the texture will also add fullness to thin strands.

24. Cinnamon Shag

Long curly hair has an easy-going bohemian vibe. The tousled texture and scattered lightness through the tips show off chunky layers. The irregular texture flatters strong jaw lines and prominent features. To style, simply scrunch in some mousse and air dry.

@jessicafooskas

25. Curlicue Shingle Bob

We love the balance of ethereal and edgy in this cut. The tapered neckline and choppy micro bangs give short curly hair a contemporary twist. Removing weight brings bounce, while the rich chocolate hue makes the airy ends feel more substantial.

26. Curly Layers with Bangs

This classic shape provides uniform distribution of body throughout the complementary medium length. The sweeping front and golden brown shade customize the style. With curly hair, bangs can sometimes feel blocky; angling them flatters the cheekbones and accentuates the eyes.

@curlpop

27. Relaxed and Rumpled Corkscrews

One of the easiest ways to make spirals seem modern is to wear them a little messy. The curly bangs in this look are sparse, allowing strands to separate and articulate, contrasting the overall density. After drying, slide fingers underneath your hair and massage the scalp to fluff.

@modernsalon

28. Bookish Brunette Babe

Glasses can present a challenge for curly hairstyles with bangs. The solution is to wear side bangs that fall an inch or so above the brows so they complement, and not compete with, your frames. Unbroken length at the sides and back prevents cowlicks.

@headdress_hairsalon

29. Chopped and Twisted

Using a spiral technique—where hair is twisted once at the scalp and then wrapped lengthwise down the barrel of an iron—produces an evenly curled effect. Choppy straight bangs and silver ombre ends incorporate popular color trends into the sweet design.

@thehairstandard

30. Curly Pixie Cut

Sometimes those with natural curls are afraid to go short, but this look proves there’s nothing to fear. Graduated shapes that build up weight toward the interior supply structure to coils. The elongated tendrils in the front are a playful touch.

@salon_sessions

31. Curly Bob with Purple Streaks

Sometimes spiral curls can look too precious, especially on women with thick hair which can be overpowering. To upgrade your hairstyle to a more cutting-edge look, opt for a beautiful hair color. A deep purple is a lovely choice for perfect brunette curls. If you worry about breakage or committing to one color, try a semi-permanent formula.

@hairbyleahlafontaine

32. Inverted Bob with Bangs

Angles and curves offset each other creating shapes that feel perfectly balanced. The sloped edge goes with subtle stacking that shifts heaviness away from the nape. A separate line curves gently above the eyes. Filaments of cream showcase the coil pattern by tracing individual helices.

@casadantiga

33. Playful Coiled Corona

Encircling the face with a halo of corkscrews is a pretty and exuberant way to wear shoulder length tresses. Use a diffuser and a handful of mousse to expand and elevate the shape. Keep contours loose for a youthful and free-spirited feeling.

@salsalhair

34. Wavy Half Up Half Down Style

If you want to change things up a bit, you can style your curly hair with light eyebrow-skimming bangs like Jennie Garth did. Gather your hair into a half-up, half-down hairstyle. Let your curls cascade freely on your shoulders. Meanwhile, you can straighten your bangs and let them fall right above your eyes.
