Ringlet Curls: Rock those ringlets and all the bounce, shine, and structure that goes along with them. (Photo via @lasorbrain)
Floral Accessories: These feminine hair accessories add a delicate vibe to the texture of your locks. (Photo via @herhairherway)
Contrasted Buns: Show off your playful personality with these sectioned-off, tiny buns. We love how the roots are a different color than the knots. (Photo via @morganjanaye)
Teased and Shapely: Don't be afraid to brush out your texture a little bit to add a slightly softer touch to your style. (Photo via @herhairherway)
Braided Knot: A knot at the nape of your neck is always in trend, but it's taken to the next level with the addition of thick side braids. (Photo via @herhairherway)
Blonde Tips: Lighten things up with a blonde hue. It'll bring new dimension to your coils — and looks amazing with a bold, blue lip. (Photo via @herhairherway)
Lots of Length: Let those locks grow out! A shoulder-sweeping cut is not only showstopping, but plays up the natural shape of your curls. (Photo via @herhairherway)
Sleek and Stylish: Sweep your tresses to your "good" side and call it a day. The part will add lift and shape to the roots. (Photo via @curlfriendari)
