2. Hairstyle with Loose Curls
While some long curly hairstyles stand out through volume, others shine through their easygoing grace. If your hair isn’t naturally curly, you can opt for some large and loose curls. All you have to do is use a thick curling iron and you’re ready to go!
3. Curly Medium Hair
Some ladies dream of long and curly hair but aren’t quite there yet. If that’s the case with you, enjoy your medium-length curls wholeheartedly, they’ll grow out soon. For extra volume, cut your hair in layers.
4. Ringlets Hairstyle
After showcasing large and loose curls, we want to shine a light on the beauty of ringlets. Even if you can’t benefit from natural volume due to the length, we guarantee that long and tight curls will make heads turn.
5. Half Up Long Curly Hairstyle
If you have long naturally curly hair, you can play around with a wide range of hairstyles. For example, you can try tying your hair half up, half down. It’s a wonderful way to wear your curls in a casual and graceful way.
