4 Chic Hairstyles for Curly Hair
A quartet of Real Simple readers get the ideal style for their springy, spiraling, occasionally maddening curls. By Didi Gluck

What Denis did:
• Layered the hair at her crown to create more verticality and less width. He also trimmed the back significantly into a wedge
shape, which gave the hair more lift. He left some longer pieces in front to frame her face.
• Added highlights throughout the sides of her hair to brighten her face.
• Adapted his hydrating routine for curls: Since her hair is not quite as thick as, say, Shameka’s, Denis advised she use
a daily conditioner, not a deep conditioner, after shampooing.
Her reaction: “It’s not puffy anymore! I’m happy because I still feel like I have some length—the long pieces in front—even though it was
cut.”
