Anyone with curly hair knows that it requires lots of love, attention and a special hair cut! If you’re looking to whip your waves into place for the summer season, then a quick scroll through this list is a must. We’ve rounded up the best haircuts and hairstyles for curly hair that will take your locks from drab to fab, just in time to battle the next heat wave.

Haircuts

Curly Crop

Just because you have wavy locks doesn't mean you have to keep them long. Get to a skilled stylist to crop your curls so that they lay right, without excess bulk. Invest in some great product and rock you cute curly 'do with this amazingly adorable short curly hairstyle.

Medium Length with Texture

Medium length styles are beyond versatile. Long enough for braids and pony's, but short enough to not feel overwhelming, have your stylist give a textured cut that adds volume without the frizz.

Long Layers

Want to keep your luxurious locks long? Get some face-framing layers to help take out bulk and show the world the curls you've got! This long curly hairstyle is timeless and easy to wear down or twist into a top knot (aka, the mom bun).

Big Body

Why battle the bulge when you can rock your curly hair with some big body? Whether you have loose waves or tight curls, embrace the fullness and accessories with scarves and headbands to complete your look.

Full Bangs

Curly-haired folk have missed out on many a bang style over the decades, but not anymore! If you have tight spiral curls, there's absolutely no reason not to flash your fringe. Go for a manageable length and go out with a bang.

Hairstyles

Half-Up Mini Twist

Enjoy your waves but keep them out of your face with this half-up mini twist style. Grab your top layer of hair, do a simple twist then just pin with bobby pins! This style works great for an everyday look or even a night out.

Side Braid + Headband

Dress up this uncomplicated braid with a headband for the perfect look for any day. We love the simple, side swept look with framing layers and the added bonus of a cute hair accessory! Curly or straight, this look is for everyone.

Low Pony + Head Scarf

Pony tails are classic for a reason: they look great on everyone and can be dressed up or down! When it comes to controlling your waves, a low pony plus a cute head scarf makes this look appear a little more pulled together and great for day or night.

Half Braid

Want to dress up? This half braid is great for keeping hair off your face, while still putting your curls on display. If you're talented in braiding, give this sophisticated look a try!

High Bun or Pony

Holy curls, batman! Let your curls do their thang with this simple style that packs a punch. Rather than wrapping all your hair into a smooth bun, let some hang out in all their glory.

12 Easy Hairstyles to Get You Through Summer

Mom Buns That Are Actually Stylish

 

Summer time means warm lazy days spent with family, with maybe a beach or camping trip added in for good measure. While you’re chasing your kids and making memories the last thing you want to worry about is your hair. Luckily we’ve got you covered with some easy summer hairstyles that are cute and functional.

Pineapple Updo

SimplyBianca via YouTube

A fun, but easy hairstyle to keep your curly or natural hair up and out of the way is with a Pineapple Updo like the one shown in this easy to follow YouTube tutorial by SimplyBiancaAlexa. All you need is a little moisturizer and a scrunchie, and you’ll have a perfect updo in minutes.

Top Knot

If the summer sun has you overheating, sweep your hair up into a top knot that’s easy and playful. Keep it sleek and pinned for a cleaner look or just let the ends hang loose for a little more messy fun.

Messy French Braid

Dan Gold via Unsplash

This is a great look for short hair when you want to sweep it back, but still keep some volume. Work your hair into a loose French braid and tie it off with a short ponytail.

High Pony

Matthew Henry via Burst

Your kiddos aren’t the only ones who can rock a ponytail. Sweep yours up high for a more dramatic, grown-up look that still keeps the hair out of your face while you're racing around the splash pad.

Bandana Roll

Roll up that classic bandana you still have from summer camp and wrap it around your forehead Karate-Kid-style, then loosely weave some hair around the band for a messy half-up style.

Braided Braids

Samantha Hurley via Burst

Tame lengthy braids by braiding them again into loose double braids that will keep your hair out of the way.

Crown Braid

Brooke Cagle via Unsplash

Braid your hair into a crown for a stylish look that keeps your hair off your shoulders and lasts all day. You can keep it simple by using a twisted braid. Start at the top of your hairline and slowly twist two sections together, gathering more hair into the braid as you work your way to the opposite side and secure the ends with a bobby pin. Or check out this easy-to-follow video tutorial.

Messy Bun

You can never go wrong with a basic messy bun to give you the clean, practical look of an updo without being too formal. Pull your hair into a loose ponytail, either high or low will work. Twist the hair, and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, continuing to wrap below the bun. Secure your hair with an elastic tie and bobby pins. You can pull out a few strands from the bun or around your face to make it a little messier.

Headband

Headbands don’t have to be relegated to bad hair days and gym visits. Elevate a basic top knot or ponytail by wrapping a floral print scarf into an accent piece.

Beachy Waves

SoCal Curls

Get gorgeous beach waves for that date night or moms night out, without more than a few minutes of effort with the genius hair tie by SoCal Curls. It gives you the look in half an hour, and you can even chase the kids while your hair is setting. We tested it out on ourselves, and after setting the hair tie in and then enjoying a few minutes of playtime, we were left with happy kids and perfect curls. A mom win-win. You can buy the SoCal Curls in several adorable colors here.

Panda Buns

Skip the boring single mom bun and get a little more creative with two. Panda buns are as easy as regular buns, with a much more stylish result. Split your hair into two parts and put each side up into a high, messy bun.

Sun Hat, Don’t Care

On those no-time-to-style (or wash) days make the most of your functional summer wear with an adorable sun hat. Just throw it on and go.

“Playdate with Destiny” was announced via the Simpsons Instagram account and shares a photo of Maggie looking chic with her trademark pacifier, hat, sunglasses and scarf. But who is her mystery partner?

No other information has been released about the short, including the plot or length of the film. The only thing we know for sure is the film will precede Pixar’s Onward, which is all we need to know to make sure we’re early for the film.
