When you have naturally curly hair, you know how difficult it can be to maintain, and style. A lot of women resist their curls and spend hours straightening their hair, instead of embracing their natural texture.
Here are 3 of my favorite, go-to, styles for short, naturally curly hair. They are easy to achieve, but produce beautiful results.
Messy Ponytail
Directions
- Apply mousse to damp hair and blow-dry completely with a diffuser
- Pull hair into a low, loose ponytail
- Twist into messy bun at the nape and secure with bobby pins
- Optional – Use a 1″ curling iron add uniform curls around your face and crown. Curl hair at an verticle angle.

Enhance Your Curls
Directions
- Wash and towel-dry hair lightly
- Using a wide-tooth comb, gently detangle your hair working from the ends up to the roots
- Apply a curl enhancing product like a mousse, gel or creme
- Blow dry hair with a diffuser on a lower heat setting, until hair is completely dry
- Next, curl 1″ sections of hair holding the curling iron vertically. Use a 1″ barreled iron for tight curls and 1-1/2″-2″ for softer curls
- When you’re done curling your entire head, lightly tousle your hair to break up the curls for a more natural look.
