9 Fresh Ways To Style Curly Hair

It's time to kiss uninspiring hair buh-bye.
9 Fresh Ways To Style Curly Hair
By Jennifer Ford · Updated December 6, 2020

We’ve reached the time of year when seasonal depression sets in. Cold weather is akin to suck the life out everything, and especially our hair. Hence the reason why many of us find ourselves in a hair rut come the holiday season.

With freezing temperatures, we tend to put a halt on our wash-and-go styles, and cozy-up under beanies, berets, and wool caps. And while the aforementioned accessories help to conceal bad hair days, unfortunately, they only make matters of dry hair worse.

The best way to avoid lifeless looking hair and the seasonal slump this fall, is to do your hair. It’s mind-blowing, right?

Article continues after video.

So to inspire you, we tapped our good curl-friend Yara Shahidi, for nine fresh ways to liven up your locs this season. Check them out in the gallery below.

01
Half and Half
The easiest way to elevate your curls is to pull them up into a ponytail. If you’re working with a lot of volume, then try this half up half down style.
