Before your next salon visit, get inspired by these photos of the best curly hairstyles for long hair!
#1: Long Curls with Ombre
An ombre on long curly hair will add dimension and compliment ringlet curls beautifully. Dyeing your hair in an ombre technique reduces the amount of upkeep, as your roots are dark and the ends are light, allowing for more time between salon visits. Wear your hair in a beautiful side part to show off the face-framing highlights and add volume at the root. Use WOW Dream Coat for Curly Hair to reduce frizz and add shine to your stunning long curls.
#2: Long Diffused Curls
Long diffused curls are a beautiful sight. And embracing your natural hair is trending. You’ll want a cute bang and minimal layering in the length to create gorgeous ringlets. Curly hair textures are different for every person, so if you struggle with yours, you are not alone. If your hair is frizzy or dry, ask about intensive deep conditioning treatments at the salon. This might help you achieve your hair goals.
#3: Full and Healthy Long Curls
Full and healthy long curls are beautiful, especially with the right cut. I don’t recommend layering on thinner textured curls. It will create a round shape and stringy ends. If you want some hang to your shape, less layering is the way to go. The best way to dry your curly hair is to air dry or diffuse it with minimal heat. And, of course, use products like L’Oréal’s Curl Expression line.
#4: Long Curls with a Side Part and Ombre
For long, thick hair, try the beautiful look of long curls with a side part and an ombre. This style works best for those who have oval or diamond-shaped faces. To create this look, use a curling wand to loosely curl your locks away from your face. Use volumizing mousse to achieve fullness and avoid frizziness. I suggest L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Air Dry It Ruffled Body Mousse!
#5: Extra Thick Long Curly Hairstyle
My best advice for women with extra thick long curly hairstyles is to use a wide tooth comb in the shower. You can use it after you apply conditioner to your hair. Combing your hair in the shower with a wide toothcomb will help to distribute the conditioner. And it helps to get any tangles out. Remember, when you get out of the shower, it’s best not to comb the hair. Use your fingers to separate the curls and a microfiber towel or t-shirt to scrunch your hair.
#6: Gorgeous Long Curls
This style is perfect if your hair is naturally curly. To keep the curls from falling flat, start by prepping with a curl-defining cream or mousse. Then take sections of your hair and curl them with an iron or wand. This will help create uniformity in length and shape. You can use hairspray after styling for extra hold.
#7: Light Brown Loose Curls with Curtain Bangs
You’ll want to try light brown loose curls with curtain bangs. If you love long spiral curls, I recommend minimal layering. The weight of your long hair with steady movement will give you continuous curls that drape. The curtain bangs are a great addition to accent your features. If your hair color needs help with gloss and shine, consider a sealer to even out tones and condition.
#8: Side-Parted Light Brown Curls
Try a versatile style with side-parted light brown curls. The light brown color is the perfect in-between color that fits most skin tones. In my experience, cutting long curled hair is best done when it’s dry to prevent taking too much length off when it’s wet. A side part will give your locks lots of body around your face right where you need it.
#9: Waist-Length Curls with Blonde Ombre
Try waist-length curls with a blonde ombre. Nothing is more eye-catching than beautiful, long, sculpted waves with blonde coloring. If your hair doesn’t grow long enough, matching extensions can be helpful. You will need to invest in good quality wefts if you want to curl them. Try curling each section to perfect and smooth your natural curl.
#10: Extra Long Naturally Curly Hairstyle
Your styling options are endless, with an extra long naturally curly hairstyle. Your best bet is to keep styles simple. Your curls are beautiful and do not need anything complicated to look amazing. You’ll need to use a leave-in conditioner and products to help defrizz for easier styling and management.
#11: Very Long Side-Parted Kinks
If you’re looking for a fabulous way to style your long hair, I suggest trying long side-parted kinks. This look is perfect for those who have naturally curly hair and want to keep it looking healthy and beautiful. To achieve this style, communicate with your hairstylist about the best cut and styling techniques that will work with your natural texture. With proper care and maintenance, you’ll enjoy this fantastic look all year round!
#12: Naturally Curly Long Hair with Bangs
Try bangs and lift your face with your naturally long curly hair. Cut face-framing layers and bangs if you need to give your hair a lift. Having curls and bangs can conceal your forehead and provide balance to a long face. Remember to use a curl gel and defuser when styling to give your curls body and volume.
#13: Light Copper Long Ringlets
Light copper long ringlets are the perfect sun-kissed curls. Ask your stylist for a full balayage to achieve this golden copper color. Very subtly long layers with a soft face frame keep these curls looking long.
#14: Stunning Longer Curls
Stunning longer curls are a great visual change from straight hairstyles. If you want volume in your curls, be sure to have long layers cut into your hair. Try diffusing upside down. A curl amplifier helps plump things up and will reduce frizz. Curly hair is a beautiful way to show individuality, as no one has the same wave pattern as you.
#15: Gorgeous Thick Curls with Sun-Kissed Balayage
Transform your frizzy, dull locks into gorgeous thick curls with sun-kissed balayage. I highly recommend using a leave-in conditioner because curly hair lacks moisture and is naturally drier. Please find a way not to touch your hair while drying, so you don’t disturb your curl pattern and create frizz. Use a diffuser to style beautiful bouncy curls for more volume and bounce.
#16: Bright Copper Curls with a Side Part
Are you feeling long and bright copper curls? This style can be paired with a side part, a middle part, or framed with a fringe. This works best for the long locks kind of girl that wants to add flair to her overall style. Copper, when not natural, can be maintained with salon visits between 4-8 weeks. When paired with a color wash shampoo like Celeb Luxury’s “Viral” or “Gem lites,” vibrancy can be maintained from the comfort of your home.
#17: Popular Long Shaggy Wolf Cut
To create a full, voluminous style, fine, curly hair needs many layers. Ask your stylist for a long, shaggy wolf cut that suits your face shape and curl type. This will give you a variety of curl lengths, giving you volume, and is best when cut on dry, styled curls. This allows your curls to be in their natural state.
#18: Super Long Black Curls
Super long, curly black hair is stunning. Cuts for long curly hair can be styled in many ways and suit many face shapes, but don’t forget about the maintenance required. To keep your curls healthy, clarify often, use clean products, deep condition, and protect your curls!
#19: Very Long Brunette Curls
Try the boho style of very long brunette curls. The best way to achieve long ringlets is to avoid too many layers, especially if your hair is on the finer side. You’ll want to maintain the integrity and thickness at the bottom. A few face-framing pieces would work well, with minimal layering elsewhere. If your locks are not naturally curly, consider a perm.
#20: Full Thick Curls with Curly Fringe
Try wearing your hair in full thick curls with a curly fringe. If you can, ask your stylist cut your layers with disconnection between the top and bottom. This will help you maintain the integrity of the length. The shorter layer on the top will help you achieve a fuller crown shape. If you embrace your curl, avoid handling it too much when diffusing. When styling long curly hair cuts, use a curl product such as L’Oréal Curl Expression.
#21: Long 3b Curly Hair with a Side Part
Look bold and beautiful with long 3B curly hair with a side part. Having a side part will give the illusion of bigger, more volumized locks. Cutting layers will give your curls life and body, but remember, when cutting curls, less is more. If you cut your hair wet, you will not know how much length you are taking off. However, when you cut your hair dry, you will see exactly how much length you are taking off.
#22: Extra Long Curly Hair for Round Faces
Extra long curly hair for round faces is a flattering style that redirects the eyes to the style’s silhouette. Long curly hairstyles for round faces are like countering in haircutting. Weight can be carved out to redistribute how the hair falls around the face to complement the facial features.

A medium-to-long curly cut in a V shape increases the shape around the front of your hairstyle. Lifting your curl, the deeper the “V,” the more shape nearer the face you will enhance.

Long curly hair suits wavy or curly girls with shoulder-length hair who want movement and shape. Use DevaCurl products. Start with BuildUp Buster, a deep cleanser, to remove buildup from past products. This will give wavy curls life and bounce. A buildup remover is important to achieve maximum volume. Certain products and the environment can weigh your hair down and make it impossible to get volume. Next, use One Condition Original and leave a bit in for moisture. Then use Styling Cream and Light Defining Gel to define your wavy curls. Towel dry with a microfiber towel to reduce frizz and then diffuse.

Layers are great for creating hairstyles for naturally curly hair. The reason is that the layers create volume and give your hair body. For styling curls, use moisturizing products.
Try a hydrating leave-in conditioner, then use a curl cream to define the curls. For hold, use a gel. Try a strong hold gel because it holds definition and retains curls for a good three days until your next wash day. This long curly hair is good for women with high-density hair 3a 3b curls.

Typically, face frames look good on all women. The cheekbones are a good place to start because it helps to slim your face and add some extra fun movement to your hair. The layers will be for women who are okay with having volume. The shortest layer is around the chin/cheekbones, adding volume to the crown. I also like this layered cut for curly hair because the perimeter (ends) are still full even though there is a layer.

#52: Healthy Long Curly Hair with a Side Part
Long curly hair with a side part is perfect for anyone who likes an easy, low-maintenance style. There is some upkeep required to keep the curls healthy. However, the styling process is as simple as a curl cream and a diffuser or even air drying with an air-dry cream. Curly hair tends to have much more hold and volume, so it’s also perfect for women who love a big or bold style.
#53: Gorgeous Long Curly Hair with a Center Part
Gorgeous long curly hair with a center part is ideal for a stunning yet low-maintenance style. Longer fringe with a center part opens up the face and accentuates the cheekbones for a youthful look. To amplify your curls, apply a moisturizing curl cream like Oribe Butter Curl Enhancing Creme to wet hair and dry it upside down using a diffuser on low heat.
#54: Adorable Middle-Parted Long Curly Brown Hair
Consider long curly brown hair with a middle part. Celebrate natural curls with wash-and-go products like, “milk” and “ever oil” from GMReverie. Round and pear face shapes go so well with a middle part and long locks by elongating the face.
