#2 Textured Curly Bob

This client was looking for a change! She had long hair growing for years and suffered from split ends and tangled tresses. This cut was a fresh start. We did the traditional Deva Cut (a specialized dry-cut technique) to give her curls a new life. The Deva Curl cut and three-step styling technique are total game-changers for anyone with texture in their hair.

#3 Adorable Short Blonde Curls

This charming short blonde hairstyle is perfect for little girls with naturally curly hair, especially for the first day of school. The haircut features soft, bouncy curls that frame the face beautifully, providing a playful and youthful look. The curls are cut to a manageable length, making daily styling easy and quick. This style is especially great for fine to medium hair density, enhancing the natural curl pattern without weighing it down. One benefit is its low maintenance, while a potential drawback is needing regular moisture to keep the curls defined and frizz-free. Ideal for young girls with round or oval face shapes.

This is the perfect look for dry, frizzy, texturized hair! The Deva Cut is right for you if your hair reacts to humidity. My favorite thing about this look is that it can work for a girl with curly hair or even the slightest wave.  We used the Deva Super Cream right on top of that leave-in conditioner for styling. The key to great curly hair styles for girls is applying the product to soaking wet hair to avoid feeling sticky or crunchy.

#11: Natural Curls with a Center Part

Not all hairstyles are created equal, and I’ve found that natural curls with a center part can be especially flattering. Before you plan to style her tresses, help define the curl pattern using products specifically designed for curly hair. To achieve such cute hairstyles for girls, create two sections from the forehead to the nape of her neck. Next, use a wide-tooth comb to untangle each section before applying the product evenly throughout both sides.
