If you’re a curly girl who’s been told your whole life that bangs are bad, I hate to break it to you… but you’ve been lied to. Unlike women who pay for their curly hairstyles, you’ve been blessed! Every day celebrities like Zendaya, Rihanna, and Sandra Oh, all have gorgeous naturally curly hair with bangs.
No matter your natural curl type, from 2c to 4c, you can rock a curly fringe. It’s all about how you style and work with it, and to know how, a thorough consultation with your hairstylist is needed.
Bangs on curly hair need maintenance, but considering the superb volume and movement you’ll get, it will be worth the work.
Before your next hair appointment, check out these photos of the curly bangs trend!
#1: Amazing Curly Highlighted Hair
Your best bet to add flair and texture to your shape is with highlighted hair. It’s complete with a bouncy fringe and lots of volume on top. To prevent the dreaded triangle effect, make sure the curls frame your face. Layers should be added throughout your head. Ask your hairstylist for advice so they can tailor it perfectly to suit you. When styling this look at home, use products that are designed for curly or wavy hair. Try L’Oréal’s Curl Expression Leave-In Cream to keep your curls hydrated throughout the day.
#2: Voluminous Jet Black Curly Hair
Dark hair is so trendy right now you can’t go wrong with voluminous jet-black curly hair. Have your stylist cut layers and a few curly bangs to achieve volume. Curly hair tends to lack moisture, so using a hydrating shampoo and conditioner is always a good idea. I recommend using Kevin Murphy Hydrate-Me.Wash and Hydrate-Me.Rinse. After shampooing your hair, use a microfiber towel to absorb the water. Avoid using a cotton towel that can rough up your hair cuticle, creating frizz and split ends.
#3: Shoulder-Length Curls for Long Faces
Women with long faces should consider shoulder-length curls with lots of layers. Ask for 3 to 4-inch layers all around your head for a round and fluffy cut. It will compliment your face with its volume. If you want to wear your hair this way, try diffusing it with a curl-enhancing product. This will give you easy care and an attractive style.
#4: Reddish Brown Healthy-Looking Curls
Adding bangs to your curly hair can be one of the best things you can do for yourself! A style like curls with short bangs is a great way to enhance natural features. Use a heat protectant product such as Kevin Murphy’s Heated Defense prior to heat styling. Then use oil or curl creme on damp strands before diffusing. With the right products, you’ll have bouncy ringlets that will make everyone envious.
#5: Beautiful Golden Curls
Get beautiful golden curls and bangs at shoulder length. I recommend asking for the Rezo Cut technique. This cutting method creates a more natural-looking finish with delicate layers. The layers provide movement to your texture. The best part is it works on all hair types, from extra curly to relaxed waves. Everyone can benefit from this helpful cut. Finish with a lightweight shine serum like Aveda’s Brilliant Humectant Pomade. It helps lock in moisture while adding a powerful hold.
#6: Curly Long Bob for Thick Hair
A curly long bob for thick hair is a great choice to help create movement within your locks. For an added boost of volume, consider adding layers throughout. The key to this is to ensure someone with experience with curly hair textures cuts them. If you have thicker hair, try using mousse or curl cream products to enhance definition and hold. These products won’t weigh down your strands. Avoid anything too heavy, like oils, which can cause build-up over time.
#7: Grey Curly Hair with Bangs for Older Women
Grey curly hair with bangs for older women is a fun and easy style. If you want fullness on the top, layers will need to be added to achieve a rounded shape. Layering your curls will help them spring to life. And they will soften your features with ringlets. If you do not have natural wave, a perm would be a great solution. I suggest diffusing your style with warm air to increase the volume.
#8: Curly Rezo Cut for Thick Curls
The Rezo Cut is a great choice for thick curly hair to pair with bangs. It works best on 2b-4c hair types and flatters oval, rounded, or heart-shaped faces. The cut features short layers that help reduce bulk and weight. And all while maintaining fullness. Adding bangs can further complement your face shape by having them sit right above your brow bone. But never wear them lower than that, or it may overwhelm your look. When you want definition and shine, try Cantu Coconut Curling Cream. It helps enhance curls while managing frizz at the same time.
#9: Pink Rezo Cut Fringe
Bring life back into your mane with pink rezo cut fringe. You will fall in love with your curls again with the perfect cut that’s just right for your curls. Adding layers and fringe is one of the best things you can do to bring your curls to life. Remember to cut your hair dry to preserve length for beautiful volume and shape.
#10: Gorgeous Loose Curls with Bangs
Go for a natural style in gorgeous loose curls with bangs. When it comes to natural waves, every curl pattern is different so try to work with whatever you have. You’ll want to ask your stylist for long layers and bangs to frame your face. Make sure the bangs are cut with shrinkage in mind so they aren’t too short. You should use a diffuser to style your curls for the perfect volume and use a curl amplifier. Try to avoid touching your hair too much as it dries to avoid frizziness.
#11: Thick and Bouncy Curls with a Fringe
Surround your face in thick and bouncy curls with a fringe. You’ll want your stylist to add square layers to create volume in your ringlets. The length hitting at the shoulder will also give you some bounce, lessening the drag of weight. It’s important that the fringe is cut without tension so they don’t spring up too short. Thick and bouncy curls with a fringe will accent your face beautifully. And it’s a fresh change from straight hair.
#12: One-Length Curly Bob
One-length curly bobs are also known as 360 bobs since the curls cascade all around the head. A voluminous, curly haircut such as this aims to please you no matter what. Whether you’re at a wedding, hiking in the mountains, or staying home with family, the versatility is never-ending. Ask your stylist for their advice for this cut and if they think it suits your face shape and hair type.
#13: Curly Pixie Cut with Bangs
High-fashion is right at your fingertips with a curly pixie cut with bangs. Grab some mousse and your favorite blower to get a gorgeous short hairstyle. If a pixie is too short for you, ask your stylist about a curly bob cut instead. Bobs look great on curly, natural hair!
#14: Collarbone-Length Bronde Curls
Give your hair a great shape with collarbone-length bronde curls. To change your curls into a fuller style you must add layers. This can be scary for curly-haired women. But, it will give you a more modern shape. Ask your stylist for square layering. It will add volume to the sides while maintaining a flatter top. You’ll avoid roundness by doing this. If you are going for a bronde color, don’t forget to deep condition weekly. Curly hair needs all the moisture it can get.
#15: Wild Long Curls with Fringe
If you are wanting voluminous curls, but you have fine hair, styling your hair in smaller curl clumps will give you this result. To achieve the wild, long curls with fringe, add a texturizing spray to your routine.
#16: Kinky Textured Curls with Fringe
Love your natural locks with kinky textured curls with fringe. To keep your hair manageable keeping the length short is always helpful. Too much length can be hard to control when you have lots of curly textures. The key to making the cut your own is adding a personal touch. Cutting a bang or face frame will customize your look specifically for your hair needs.
#17: Soft Mid-Length Curls with Curly Fringe
One of the best fringe-centric cuts for curly hair is a soft mid-length curly cut combined with a curly fringe. This shaggy hairdo compliments more spiraled curl patterns and allows you to embrace bangs if you didn’t realize a fringe was an option. Pro Tip: if you decide to opt for this chop, don’t forget to focus on curl moisture. Healthy, happy curls make coiled bangs look best!
#18: Red Curls with Wispy Bangs
Red curls with wispy bangs will give you a great visual impact. If your hair is super curly, I suggest leaving the layers a tad longer to weigh down your curl. You want volume, but to achieve ringlets, you want a bit of length. If the top is flat, avoid over-layering the crown. I recommend square layers to my clients with curly hair to get the perfect balance.
#19: Medium-Length Thick Curly Hair with Fringe
If you have naturally curly hair, try rocking medium-length thick curly hair with fringe. Though curly-haired women are often afraid of fringe, with the right shaping they can really take your curly look to a whole new level. Professional stylists recommend you come into your appointment with your hair curly, so they can build your curly cut shape based on how you usually wear it.
