As much as we love freshly-shorn curly bobs and pixies, sometimes spirals need to run wild. In the South, few things command a room better than a little Susie or Sissy with long curly hair. It can be tousled and tossed, flipped and twisted, just for added emphasis. As we get older, our hair tends to get shorter, but we’re making a case to keep those curls long and luscious. From fringe-heavy shags to bouncy layered cuts, these hairstyles for long curly hair will give those ringlets room to shine.

Deep Side Part
