Here is a cute little girl with a darling curly hairstyle. Her locks are shoulder length and she is graced with an abundance of curls. A section is taken from the front and pulled over to the side where it is held into place with a clip and yellow ribbon that matches her beaded necklace and clothes. For those lucky enough to have the natural bend, a curl enhancing product applied when strands are damp and then allowing it to air dry should be enough.

Our hair is our best accessory and we see here how a great hairdo just brings this young woman to life. When hair is naturally very kinky curly, it would first be very helpful to have a relaxer applied professionally by a trained hairdresser in order to get this loosely curled hairstyle. The strands are smoothed and straightened near the top to give some contrast here with this look. This is perfect for everyday wear.
