Why don’t you just put them down and try these curly hairdos out? These are what’s in fashion for this year. By Lora O’Brien This year, however, is all about embracing natural hair if you have spent your entire life attempting to make tight curls become straight locks.
The curlier the better! Reasons why there is an increase in the number of individuals who embrace curly hairstyles come from various places. However, one of the major sources I believe is Bridgerton. Many of us are watching that fashionable series and not only admiring the Regency-style dresses but also coveting its hairstyles. However, some curly hairstyles can be informal!
We asked Nicole Petty, a Hair Care Specialist at Milk + Blush to show us some of this year’s trendiest curls below.
Curly & Wavy Hairdos For 2025
1. Pre-Raphaelite Curls
One of the most beautiful types was Kaia Gerber’s voluminous pre-Raphaelite tresses we’ve ever seen that has been done on a celebrity or model head before her look which she wore on her last Met Gala appearance whereas it also happens that other people liked it too; among them Sophie Turner Olivia Rodriguez and Phoebe Dynevor whose such include soft wavy curls finished by waist-length locks as shown above.
A quality set of clip-in human hair extensions will help you achieve the same long hairstyle for both volume and length (minimum 22” required). Because after all, this is what Kaia did! Besides altering your hair texture they can also change its color too; just like Kaia’s whose colors are lighter due to extension use.
Don’t know how you would look when you get lighter or darker? Now to the curls. You start by curling half of your own hair using a wide barrel curling iron.
Then, use a smaller curling wand on the other half. Take small sections for more volume and make sure to vary the direction of your curls for better natural looks. Next, fasten in the extensions and blend your own hair with them using your fingers; add some big clips near your crown. Wow!
2. Vintage Waves
Another trend of twisted hair that was brought to the Met Gala which is a good example of it is old Hollywood style. Euphoria Star Maude Apatow carried her do in gilded glamour by rocking up on the red carpet at the event. Her shoulder-length bob was styled with sweeping waves and tight ringlets framing one side of her face.
For a little vintage feel, finger waves were also seen on Lizzo and Laura Harrier. On shorter hair, you can create signature waves using just your fingers and a firm-hold hair gel. Take some time out so as to add your hair gel into the section framing your face that you want to curl in order for it to dry and harden.
Then take little twirls of gelled-up hair in sections and pin them down with bobby pins then once it’s dried properly let them loose again working through them with your fingers until they’re soft enough set or if you prefer a tighter look leave them pinned!
On longer hair, use either heated rollers or a thin curling iron to curl small sections of hair and pin in rolls at the crown area. Use an extra hold hairspray for setting up styles like this.
3. Modern Regency Curls
Love Daphne Bridgerton on Netflix? Now you can have it yourself – with a modern twist! And even if it’s not your wedding day; but you are invited as a guest, it will be perfect too.. Here are instructions on how to recreate this style yourself. Begin by using an iron-barrelled curler that has been made bigger than usual ensuring that all sections are the same size and curled in one direction.
Once left to cool, brush the curls with a soft-bristled brush to blend hair together and create softer waves. Then, do a loose ponytail. Wrap it around the elastic, and clip it. Add in a statement hair accessory for a special occasion. One of the best curly hairstyles for: Special occasions, like weddings.
4. Disco Glam
The 70s had lots of “height” when it came to hairdos.“That’s hot!” Thus, disco glam is back as one of the top trendy formal hairstyles! This hair trend carries some retro feel; everyone will relate to this style especially considering its fun nature and full motion.
In fact, these are among the best curly hairstyles for any type of hair. Therefore if you want this disco glam on your present tresses? You need to focus on getting enough volume whilst still having movement by using some sort of curling device like rollers or maybe even putting some vegan volumizing product into a straight gel.
5. 3D Curls
Curly styles do not get any bolder and more beautiful than this! 3D curls mean embracing your naturally curly hair and all the things it is. Rather than struggle with it, throw away toxic hair straighteners and work with your natural texture. Your curls will really shine through, and your hair will look stunning.
The top trick to make 3D curls really pop is to use strong-hold gel or balm on your tresses. Let the hair fully dry, then gently massage the product into the curls so they are not hard. My best advice? Resist the need to brush out those waves. One of the best curly hair trends for Those with naturally curly hair.
6. Lob
Are you looking for a way to give your curls a chic touch? Then you should be interested in the lob hairstyle trend. There is a variety of wear styles that lob can be worn depending on how you cut it as well as layering much of it to give it a fuller voluminous style making thus it perfect for people who want low-effort hairstyles.
Perfect your lob by using styling cream after washing your hair. Next, dry off using the diffuser attachment on your dryer so that it doesn’t blow around too much (this will help keep frizz at bay). For someone having thick hair already, go for light products such as vegan gels that add texture but less bulk. One of the best curly hair trends for haired women definitely!
7. Curly Crops
Pixie cuts are so versatile! You can give them bold colors (they’ll grow out anyway in about three months). You can slick them back to make them straightened as well as sleek or else just add some curls! Blow-dried by scrunching with fingers or curling with a large barrel then comb through.
Tight to the face or all tousled for a take-it-easy attitude, wear it one of two ways. One of the best curly hair trends for Those growing out buzz cut.
8. Curly Bangs
The bangs are back again with a big impact. Some of the different ways they can be cut include choppy, straight, and asymmetrical… It’s like bangs are open for you to choose in any shape or design. Also, all curly hair types including the loosest waves up to tight ringlets can wear fringe.
To texture your bangs run some styling gel through your hands and then massage it between your fingers before applying it down your hairline. For extra volume, let the hair air dry instead of using heat tools. Alternatively, use a diffuser on them! How about trying out new colors?
There is an app that changes hair color so that one may know how dying would look like if they are afraid to take the plunge. One of the best curly hair trends for Natural curls and lots of them.
9. 60s Shag
While it’s been several years after 2022, our hairstyles still remain reminiscent of this era because of trends such as shag haircutting styles; thus being among my fav curly hairdos! It’s a relaxed style that looks super casual and natural at first glance.
This trend works great regardless of whether you have curly tresses or not; making it an easily adoptable style for everyone else around there who wishes to embrace it. One of the best curly hair trends for Androgynous cuts.

Isn’t this simply romantic? Certainly, one of our favorite curly hairstyles is a loose updo especially when paired with these bangs! However, this style is ideal when dealing with much thicker locks but will also work well in case your tresses happen to be thinner too Just scrunch-dry your hair using a mousse then put your hair in a bun.

12. Side Swept
Do you have dense, curly hair? Well, then you’re lucky! But sometimes it can be quite unmanageable, right? A side sweeper can help prevent your whole face from being engulfed in your locks. Apply a firm hold gel to one side of damp hair.
Blow-dry this side towards the back of your head. Besides if you want it to keep really well why don’t you try putting some pins at the back? Otherwise, if you are feeling radical – or have just decided to sport that style – shave off the side so that you won’t need to style it daily! One of the best curly hair trends for: It is dramatic.
