Pictures of curly hairstyles with helpful information about how to achieve the look.

Take a look at Ben Lloyd-Hughes with his curly wet look haircut. It's short and manicured with a few curlicues up front for fun.

Ben Lloyd-Hughes

He has berry brown hair color along with warm-brown eyes and an olive skin tone. His black suit and white shirt are rather formal here at the 56th Annual BFI London Film Festival – Closing Gala Film "Great Expectations." Some pomade or other strong holding product will help to tame the strands on the sides and a little finger styling up front and center can whip those curls into shape. He's got a rather mischievous grin here so makes one wonder what is up.

Hair was typically cut to shoulder length and curls were a must. Rollers and pin curls did the trick for styling. This gal has medium brown tresses with the sides brushed back away from the face. There is a small tuft above the forehead that winds around in a swirl. Bobby pins keep the sides neat and tidy and close to the scalp. Then at about ear level the soft curls grow in volume and fullness.
