To get the most out of this very chic hairstyle, remember that straightened hair typically yields the best crimps. Always apply heat protectants when using a crimping iron.
#1: Casually Crimped with Touches of Green
A casually crimped look with touches of green provides a playful twist to the traditional crimped hairstyle. Loosely crimping at the root or throughout your hair enhances the appearance of extra volume, texture, and dimension. Adding a hint of green at the tips of your crimped hair brings an effortlessly chic touch.
#2: Elegant Long Hair Featuring a High Half Up Pony
An ideal style for nights out is long hair styled into a high half-up pony. If possible, incorporate extensions or clip-ins to take your party pony to the next level. Remember to add a sleek finish to the pony with a lightweight gel or hairspray. My go-to hairspray is the Number 4. Non Aerosol Hairspray for added shine and lasting hold.
#3: Crimped Hair with Bangs: A 90s Throwback
This hairstyle evokes the beloved 90s crimped look! The great aspect of this style is the incredible texture the crimper adds to your hair, giving it a distinctive and daring appearance. In the world of hairstyling, we are witnessing a resurgence of past trends, and crimped hair is definitely making a comeback.
#4: Smooth Crimped Texture
Experiment with a crimped weave to achieve a sleek, gleaming mermaid wave for your hair. Crimping is experiencing a resurgence with the latest styles of crimping irons, which provide softer crimps, resulting in more natural-looking waves, as if your hair effortlessly possesses this texture.
#5: Relaxed Waves
The relaxed waves present a contemporary take on the traditional hairstyle, featuring softer curls. To achieve this style, begin by partitioning your hair into small horizontal sections while utilizing your hair crimper. Glide down the length of your hair and press to form an s-wave pattern. Allow for 3-5 seconds between each press. Remember to apply a heat protectant spray for a longer-lasting finish like Chi’s Enviro 54.
#6: Adorable Crimped Zig Zags
This hair crimp is soothing, earthy, and organic with the contrast of rich texture. For optimal results, hairstyles for women with fine hair or hair that is too soft to style easily, are recommended.
#7: Ponytail with Classic Crimp
A ponytail with classic crimp is a fashionable method to enhance the traditional ponytail. It brings an extra layer of texture and volume. To achieve this style, use a crimper to crimp the mid-section of your hair, then secure it in a ponytail. Applying a heat protectant will safeguard your hair and maintain the style for a longer duration.
#8: Laid-Back Crimped Bob
A crimped bob is a trendy hairstyle choice for women of all ages. When asking for a bob, keep in mind that longer layers work best. Use Living Proof Perfect Hair Day spray to avoid heat damage and maintain the crimp throughout the day.
#9: Chic Crimped Mid-Length Hair
For this look, a thermal product from Kerastase was applied first, followed by a Dyson hair dryer. Utilize the GHD crimped iron and the serum from Franck Provost to achieve crimped hair. This crimp hairstyle is suitable for both day and night.

#12: Top Crimping Styles for Black Hair
This particular crimp style falls into body waves usually after a week of them being done, and you don’t have to do much to it until your next touch-up.

This crimped hairstyle is engaging, layered, natural, and even enchanting. It’s Viking chic with a touch of shimmer! It’s not a widely recognized crimping style, but it’s daring, and any woman with longer locks can pull it off. The best part is the opportunity to create so much depth and texture by combining hair tinsel, curls, crimped sections, and five different types of braids (fishtail, dutch fishtail, ponytail, DNA, bubble, and three-strand). Have hair that hasn’t been washed for at least a day or two. Those styles maintain better and provide a superior grip when attempting to achieve the desired hair crimps.

The waves also begin higher up than curling tongs, offering increased volume and width to your hair.
#18: Dramatic Loose Crimped Locks
These loose crimped locks are ideal for women with longer hair. Invest in quality crimping irons and hair care products. To achieve crimped hair, consider using Ouai Wave Spray.
