As someone with naturally straight hair, I’ve never relied on hair straighteners. However, curling my hair has been a different story—after countless attempts with various tools and techniques, achieving long-lasting curls has often eluded me. This winter, though, the trending hairstyle is all about loose, gentle curls, a refreshing shift that combines elegance and sophistication.
The Beauty of Soft Curl Hairstyles
If you have naturally wavy hair, you’re in luck! Achieving soft curls may require just a few curl-boosting products. Those with tight curls might need to straighten their hair before curling, while those with straight hair can easily create soft curls. This trend embraces “day two” curls rather than tightly styled ones, allowing for a more relaxed look.
How to Style Soft Curl Hairstyles
The versatility of soft curl hairstyles means they look great even days after styling. For those not naturally endowed with soft curls, using heat-styling tools and curl-enhancing products can help.
Preparation: Start with a volume spray at the roots and a mousse for the mid-lengths and ends.
Volume and Curls: Use a round brush to create volume at the roots, then section your hair and use a curling wand or tong to form loose curls. Allow your hair to cool before brushing through with a soft bristle brush.
Setting Curls: Finish with a light hairspray to hold your style.
By day three, your hair may be ready for an elegant up-do. A trendy messy up-do can offer an effortlessly glamorous look—revive your curls with a curling wand before pulling your hair back into a ponytail, leaving out face-framing pieces. Twist sections of hair around the base of your ponytail for added texture and volume.
This winter, soft curl hairstyles will not only be trendy but also timeless, offering a chic look for any occasion.
