What Hairstyles Work With Curly Hair?

7. Chignon

Start with freshly washed and combed hair to create a chignon style. Work a generous amount of mousse through damp hair, and let hair air-dry. This style can be accented with extra texture using a 5/8-inch curling iron. Stabilize curls with a light holding spray. Separate hair near the front of the face into clips to use for bangs. Grasp half of the remaining hair starting behind the ears. Twist that section of hair towards the back of the head using bobby pins to hold it in place.

Pull the rest of the hair into a ponytail with a strong elastic or scrunchie. The ponytail should be right below the nape of the neck. Roll the ponytail into a messy bun and pin it to the top of the head with large bobby pins. Take bangs out of the clip, and pull them backward. Secure bangs into the bun with decorative clips.
