In this era of celebration for naturally curly hair, there’s no right way to embrace your natural texture. You do you! Thanks, in part, to celebrities using their platforms to embrace their curly, kinky, and coily textures and amplify diverse beauty standards, curly girls have more options than ever for cuts, colors, and trends they can try to highlight their manes. For 2024, we’re excited about a trend that simplifies individuality, making every texture a standout.

We’re talking about the round curly cut. We love this style because it follows the shape of your face and embraces your curl pattern. Shrinkage is no joke for more tightly curled and coiled hair, no matter the length. A round, curly cut can make your hair look thicker, fuller, and more uniform. There’s no need for stretching, twisting, or diffusing—just let your curls air-dry, keep them moisturized, and flaunt them in all their glory.
When you want to switch it up, you can do so very easily, depending on your length. Try:
-Combing or picking your curls out to give them a more oversized, Afro-inspired look.
-Laying down your front edges or brushing them upwards to add accessories like headbands (a fun hair accessory that’s having a resurgence right now).
-Slicking one or both sides down or adding small braids to give frohawk vibes.
If your 2024 hair goals are low manipulation and easy-to-style curls, keep reading for examples of this curly hair trend we love.
