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: Explosive Red Curls
Light up the room with explosive red curls. Ask for long layers to add style and volume to your hair, whether it’s natural or permed. Consider embracing a color overlay, which can give your highlights a striking, bold shade resembling a cellophane effect. For extra volume and shine, diffuse your curls using a product designed to enhance curls, like L’Oréal’s Curl Expression.
#3: Light Auburn Curls
Look at these light auburn curls! After getting a long layered curly cut and some essential dry cutting, consider using a demi-permanent gloss to enhance your ginger locks. This will help intensify your copper and red tones tastefully. Using a demi-permanent gloss is a great way to experiment with your hair color without needing a long-term commitment.
#4: Very Long Thick Curly Hair with No Bangs
You’ll love the hair goddess look of very long, thick curly hair with no bangs. If you want your curls to be this perfect, get regular trims and intense conditioning treatments. I recommend medium-length layered haircuts to give your hair more volume. Try L’Oreal’s Curl Expression product line to help define your curls and reduce frizz. You can air dry your hair or use a diffuser on low heat for ideal results.
#5: Long Curly Hair with a Subtle Side Part
A long curly hair style with a subtle side part forms a beautiful shape, showcasing your natural texture. The side parting adds height to the top also, the volume given by your natural curls enhances your look. Request a dry cut or dusting to eliminate split ends while preserving hair length. To attain beautiful ringlets, remember to avoid layering. I recommend air drying with a moisture-rich product to keep frizz to a minimum.
#6: Perfectly Shaped Long Curly Style
You’ll want to try a perfectly shaped, long curly style. Giving your hair a great cut helps keep it healthy and looking great. With hairstyles for long curly hair, you’ll want to avoid over-layering if you want ringlets with a bit of weight. However, medium layers are the perfect length for creating volume and shape. Try air drying with a curl product to achieve defined curls, and steer clear of combing once your hair is dry.
#7: 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.
#8: 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 long, curly hair with bangs is to air dry or diffuse it with minimal heat. And, of course, use products like L’Oréal’s Curl Expression line.
#9: Long Curls with a Side Part and Ombre
Try the beautiful look of long curls with a side part and an ombre for long, thick hair. These long hair styles work best for those with oval or diamond-shaped faces. To create this look, use a curling wand to curl your locks away from your face loosely. Use volumizing mousse to achieve fullness and avoid frizziness. I suggest L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Air Dry It Ruffled Body Mousse!
#10: Extra Thick Long Curly Hairstyle
My best advice for women with extra thick long curly hairstyles is to use a wide toothcomb 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.
#11: Gorgeous Long Curls
This long hair style is perfect if your hair is naturally curly. Start by prepping with a curl-defining cream or mousse to keep the curls from falling flat. 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.
#12: 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 a curly hair hairstyle to accent your features. If your hair color needs help with gloss and shine, consider a sealer to even out tones and condition.
#13: 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.
#14: 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. Matching extensions can be helpful if your hair doesn’t grow long enough. You must invest in good quality wefts if you want to curl them. Try curling each section to perfect and smooth your natural curl.
#15: 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 a leave-in conditioner and products to help defrizz for easier styling and management.
#16: Very Long Side-Parted Kinks
I suggest long side-parted kinks if you want a fabulous way to style your long hair. 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 to work with your natural texture. With proper care and maintenance, you’ll enjoy this fantastic curls hairstyle all year round!
#17: 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.
#18: 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.
#19: 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. Long curly hairstyles for women are a beautiful way to show individuality, as no one has the same wave pattern as you.
#20: 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.
#21: 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.
#22: 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.
#23: 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 the maintenance required. To keep your curls healthy, clarify often, use clean products, deep condition, and protect your curls!
#24: 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 finer. 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.
#25: 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.
#26: Long 3b Curly Hair with a Side Part
Look bold and beautiful with long 3B curly hair with a side part. 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.
#27: 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.
#28: Long Red Curly Hairstyle with Large Curls
A long red curly hairstyle with large curls is captivating as it shows off multi-tonal red-orange tones. For effortless radiance, try Evo Love Perpetua when curls are completely dry.

The messy curls look dreamy and so full of life! Long curly hair with bangs is a commitment. But if you want a shorter length with enough versatility, curly long bob is a nice choice, too.

#31: Classic Medium-to-Long Curly Cut in V Shape
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. This works well for finer hair which can’t be overly layered. The shape will focus all the attention on the front of your hair, while the back can stay effortlessly one length.
#32: Long-Length Haircut with Blonde Bouncy Curls
A long-length haircut with bouncy curls is perfect for women who want to revive their curls without taking much length off. Keeping the length, but adding shorter layers, won’t weigh down the curls. Once shaped, the curls bounce back up and keep the length intact.

When it comes to this curly style, less is more. The curls will curl; all they need is water. Water is key to achieving frizz-free, shiny, and defined curls.

A curly girl should wear her hair and not let her hair wear her. Now, forget about your short hair and start growing your curly hair long to try a new trend.

Dark long curly hairstyles are excellent for longevity between haircuts. If you’re going for a long curly haircut, don’t stretch the curls as you dry cut. Layer vertically and try only to use the very top of the crown to layer a ton. Stay away from silicones, dimethicones, parabens, butters, and oils.
#38: Picture Perfect Long Curly Hair with a Middle Part
Suppose you have a long symmetrical face, loose long curly hair with a middle part would be ideal if you’re searching for a long curly hairstyle for a formal event, like a wedding.

The short layers on long hair allow your hair to dry faster and give a lot of volume without sacrificing the length many curly girls crave.
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.

Consider that factor before deciding to get long curly haircuts and styles done.
You have the flexibility of wearing your hair down or up. If your hair is thick enough, you can still have the option for a “full head of hair” look. The only downside would be the maintenance.

This curly hairstyle with an off-center part on luscious curly thick locks has a face-framing look. This cut on thick curly hair is great because of the layers. 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. It’s important to use products that define your curls and help keep them hydrated. To maintain or reach this length, it’s important to do trims/hair treatments to keep your long curls healthy.

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 despite a layer.

#57: 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.
#58: 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.
