What Are The Best Haircuts For Naturally Curly Hair?

May 14, 2021

For those with curly hair, finding a haircut idea you like can be difficult. Across the internet and in magazines, haircuts predominantly seem to revolve around straight hair. If you have naturally curly hair, the thought of getting a haircut may bring you anxiety as it’s not always easy to get an idea of what the result may look like. Plus, so many hairdressers can easily mess it up.


That’s why we have provided this article to talk about some of the best haircuts for curly hair, to show that there are creative and doable haircuts for wonderfully wild curly hair.

1. Deva cut


The Deva cut originated in New York City at the Devachan Salon. This is a detailed technique where a hairdresser will cut your curls one by one, observing how each curl falls after it’s cut and continuing in response to this.



This kind of haircut is tailored specifically to your hair, and whilst it may be a lengthy process, it’s worth it to have a cut you’ll be happy with.

2. Face framing cut


Have you ever looked at the layers on a straight haircut and been jealous of it? Well, there is an option for curly-haired women out there! The face-framing curl cut can add (even more) texture and depth to your hair and frame your face so it stands out beautifully.

This is an ideal cut for those with tight, but voluminous curls. Let your hair drape in a gorgeous fashion with this face-framing cut for curls.

3. Pixie cut


We’ve seen so many celebrities with strenuously straight pixie cuts, and it looks great, but where are the curly-haired women at? If you have curly hair and have always wanted a pixie cut, then it is not something out of your reach!

A pixie cut will help keep your curls out of your way and provide a sophisticated and stylish look for any woman willing to pull it off. You could even have it cut as short as possible on the bottom whilst keeping your curls at the top.

4. Ouidad


This, similarly to the Deva cut, is a skilful technique that slices hair with mindful precision. With Ouidad (pronounced wee-dad, if you’re not familiar with French) the haircut is done when your hair is wet and once your hair is shaped, the hairdresser will use the ‘carve and slice’ technique.

It involves taking vertical sections of hair, starting just below your ear, then lengthening the strand out to reveal thicker sections then snipping away appropriately.

5. Fringe


It’s not too common to see a curly-haired person with a fringe, but that’s not to say it can’t be done. Whilst it’s not going to fall the same as a straight fringe, they look just as elegant (if not more so) and can refresh your look if you’re getting bored of your hair.

There are options to have a full, side or curtain fringe with curly hair, all depending on your face shape and what you feel would suit your style!

You’ve likely heard of keratin and nanoplasty hair straightening treatments, but how do you know which is right? Whether you have Afro hair, curly hair, or are seeking smooth, frizz-free locks, understanding the core differences between these two popular options can help you make the best decision for your hair goals. Permanent and non-permanent straightening treatments offer different results, maintenance levels, and longevity. If you're contemplating an appointment and aren’t sure whether you’re after a temporary refresh or a long-term change, this guide will break down everything you need to know—clearing up confusion, busting myths, and ensuring you feel confident before committing to either option. Let’s explore the key differences between keratin and nanoplasty so you can decide which path suits your lifestyle, hair type, and preferences. Understanding Keratin Straightening & How It Works Keratin straightening is a smoothing treatment, not a restructuring one. It infuses hair with keratin, a naturally occurring protein in hair to coat the outer layer, reducing frizz and enhancing shine without changing the internal structure of the hair shaft. This is considered a non-permanent straightening option, and it is ideal for clients who want to try smoother hair without committing long-term. Key characteristics of keratin treatments: Offers semi-permanent frizz control and shine. Results typically last 3–6 months, depending on hair type and aftercare. Works best for mildly wavy, frizzy, or dry hair. Doesn’t cause long-term damage when applied professionally with the right product. Great for busy people wanting to reduce blow-drying time or tame seasonal humidity with a natural-looking finish. The Science Behind Nanoplasty Treatments Nanoplasty goes several steps further than keratin by changing the hair's internal structure using nanotechnology and active ingredients like amino acids, collagen, and botanical acids. The nanoplasty treatment not only smooths and straightens hair from within but also offers that dramatic look and longer-lasting results. This permanent hair straightening service is perfect for anyone seeking a noticeable transformation. Safe for pregnant clients and those looking for a non-invasive method, the nanoplasty treatment offers a smooth, effortless experience with no downtime. At our Sunshine Coast salon, we use only natural ingredients, including amino acids, açai, and linseed oil. Plus, after your treatment, you’re free to enjoy hair colouring without any restrictions! Key benefits of Nanoplasty: Offers sleek, straight hair for up to 8–12 months. Suitable for a broader range of hair types, including coarse, curly, and ethnic hair textures. Free from harsh chemicals like formaldehyde. Leaves hair glossy and manageable with less need for heat styling. The effect doesn't wash out because it alters the hair’s inner bonds—it grows out over time. How Long Do the Results Last? Both treatments leave your hair sleek and smooth, but the duration of results varies between services. The best way to choose the right treatment for you is to consider your budget and how often you’re willing to repeat the sessions.
