#1: Shiny Copper Penny Ringlets
Ringlets dyed with shiny copper penny hair color can enhance the look of your naturally coiled hair! You should book this service with a curl expert. They must have experience in lightening curls. As such, hair textures are sensitive to lighteners. Also, you should be able to discuss with them about choosing a copper color that suits your skin tone. Depending on your preference, this can be more red or more orange.

Side parted short curly hairstyles with bangs produce a bouncy form that elevates the springiness of your curly short strands. Neatly arranged but in all sorts of funky and wild!
#3: Tight Curly Texture
Adding bangs is a stylish and versatile option for those with tight, curly textures. When paired with bangs, the voluminous nature of curly hair creates a full and playful look. The hair will maintain its natural shape and bounce if kept longer. To achieve this style and separation, starting with wet hair is recommended. Then, apply a volumizing mousse to encourage curl definition. A mousse helps add definition and volume to curls.
#4: Light Curls with Highlights
If you like short and sassy haircuts with light curls, highlights, and bangs, ask for a short, rounded bob with many layers. This is an extremely playful and versatile look. The curl pattern adds body and movement, while the highlights add depth and dimension to the hair. This haircut works best for women with naturally curly or wavy hair, as the curls enhance the overall texture and shape of the style. Adding bangs makes the look trendier and younger and frames the face beautifully.
#5 Flattering Bangs for Older Women
Flattering bangs for older women with curly hair look best on oval and square-shaped faces. To create fuller-looking curls, ask your stylist to add in extra layers.
#6: Loose Blonde Curly Hairstyle
Currently, a loose blonde curly hairstyle is trendy for textured strands. Consider this style if you’re going for a round and full look with a halo of curls. Cutting layers around your head will enhance the texture and create an enjoyable hairstyle. I recommend drying with a diffuser for maximum volume. If you adore the blonde color and its additional dimension, try adding some highlights to brighten your shade.
#7: Rezo-Cut Curls
Increase your volume with rezo-cut curls. A rezo-cut has many benefits. It increases root volume and body. It creates a balanced look around the head. Also, it maintains the length of your hair. Look for a skilled hairstylist who is an expert in this excellent technique. You’ll appreciate your natural texture even more. Remember that a Rezo-cut is expensive as you pay for the hairstylist’s expertise in the field.
#8: Perfectly Shaped Curly Bob
Keep your curly bob cut in good shape with regular care. Use a wash regimen with a mask twice weekly and put a leave-in conditioner on your hair daily. Do you want curls that are full and bouncy? Use Mizani’s Curl Foam. For a sleek look, try a cream gel. Apply it from your roots to the ends and use a microfiber towel to remove any extra moisture and product.
#9: Rezo-Inspired Curls and Bangs
Consider getting curls and bangs at your next salon visit inspired by Rezo. A Rezo cut is perfect for people who may want to straighten their hair as the layers are even all around. The even layers in a Rezo cut will bring bouncy volume from the root of your curls. Let your hair flow freely with a stylish yet easy-to-manage cut. I suggest using L’Oréal’s Curl Expression line and a diffuser on low heat to perfect your curls. This combination will give you stand-out, well-defined curls.
#10: Fun Short Curls with Bangs
Style your curly hair into ringlets and transform them into short curls for a fun look. Adding layers to your curls will give a voluminous shape that aligns with the latest trends.

For added volume and curl definition, diffuse your cut on low heat using a high-quality curl product.
#11: Cherry Red Curly Hair with Fringe
Consider cherry red curly hair with a fringe to add some pop to your style. Adding bright colors and more layers to your hairdo will make you look youthful. Ask for square layers around the head to create a shape that gives more volume. Bangs are a great choice to balance your features, but leave them long to account for hair’s tendency to shrink when dry. To add extra volume, you can air dry or use a diffuser, but don’t forget to apply your curl products.
#12: Auburn Highlights for Curly Hair
Auburn highlights in your hair add warmth and depth. Women with thick curls might prefer this low-maintenance, stylish cut. Auburn highlights complement your curls and enhance volume and texture without shifting the focus from your style.
#13: Cool Curly Bob with Fringe

You’ll love the way this cut compliments your features.
#15: Wild Copper Curls
Amp up your style in wild copper curls. The number one recommendation I can give you to achieve wild curls is adding layers to your shape. Adding medium layers to your chin-length hair eliminates weight. This lets your curls fly free. An added fringe is great for framing your face and opening your eyes. Diffuse your ringlets with L’Oréal’s 10-In-1 Professional Crème-In-Mousse. It’s great for volume and shine.
#16: High Volume-Shaped Curls with Fringe
High volume-shaped curls with a fringe are a rounded style with lots of personality. This shape is great for long or narrow faces, giving width for a beautiful balance. If you love the full shape, you will need graduated layers. Start around the roll of the head and at a lip-length bottom perimeter. Apply moisturizing curl cream to your ringlets and air dry, or diffuse thicker hair on very low heat.
#17: Curly Fringe on a Curly Short Bob Cut
A great way to rock a unique style for ladies over 60 is with a curly short bob. To get the most out of your cut, go for a curly fringe that will give you the added volume and texture you’d like.

#22: Curls and Bangs for Women Over 60
Curls with bangs are a smart choice for women over 60. Your hair density, or the number of strands on your head, can decline as you get older. Wearing your hair curly with an added fringe will fill in thin areas. Your aging hair will love the fullness that curls have to offer. If you aren’t blessed with natural waves, a perm is always an option.
#23: Neck-Length Curly Blunt Bangs
This short haircut is a shaggy bob/curly shag with curly bangs. My favorite thing about this look is the airy texture and the long bangs for sure. I used a curl mousse by Bumble & Bumble and a diffuser for the finished look. Choosing the right product for your short natural curls is key.
