Are you a woman looking for brunette curly hair inspiration? You have come to the right place! Wearing the same curly hairstyle day after day can get a little bit boring. So to get you out of a hairstyling rut, we have compiled curly brunette hairstyles to help you switch up your look.

And the best part about these stylish hairstyles is that you can easily do them on your own. (But if you are not confident in your hairstyling skills, you can always show your hairdresser these curly brunette hairstyles).

Whether you need it for a special occasion or to freshen up your overall look for the office, below you will find curly brunette hairstyles that you will love!

But before you pick new natural curly hairstyles, you need to consider the following factors to help you narrow down the best curly brunette hairstyles.

How to choose the right curly brunette hairstyles

Face Shape

Not all popular curly hairstyles can work for every face shape. To find cute hairstyles to suit your face shape, use this guide.

A) Square face shape: Examples of curl trends that complement your strong and angular jawlines are medium curly hairstyles. Having hair that falls past the jawline will help soften the edges of your face. Plus, medium curly hair will divert attention away from your strong jaw to your eyes and cheeks.

B) Oval face shape: Thanks to the 3:2 ratio of the oval face, any curly hairstyle can work with this shape. For example, a layered haircut will help show off your envious facial features.

C) Round face shape: To make your face shape appear longer and structured, try a curly updo to elongate your round face.

Natural Curl Pattern

Every woman has a unique curl pattern. This includes:

A) Type 2 hair (2A, 2B, 2C): Wavy/ loose curls

B) Type 3 hair (3A, 3B, 3C): Tight curls

C) Type 4 hair: (4A, 4B, 4C): Kinky natural texture curls

Knowing your curl pattern will help you pick the best hairstyles that will work with your hair. For a great hairstyle, you can’t wear a curly hairstyle that would look the best on 2B hair if you have 4A hair.

Now it’s time to pick curly brunette hairstyles!

1. Curly Bangs

Even though short curly hairstyles seem limited, there are endless ways you can style short haircuts! You can add more oomph to your natural curls by going for curly bangs.

Bangs don’t only look good on people with straight hair, they can look beautiful on a curly hair type as well. To achieve the best bangs on your short curls, professional hairstylists recommend having a fringe that is long enough to graze your eyebrows.

Your bangs should not be cut when they are wet. To get the best results, your hairdresser should cut your bangs while they are still dry. If they are trimmed while your hair is still wet, your bangs will probably be too short.

You can use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to style your brown curls. It’s also a good idea to use a Moroccan hair treatment to help your natural hair texture pop. This hair treatment is perfect because it does not weigh down the curls.

2. Low Sleek Curly Ponytail

One of the easiest hairstyles to try is a slicked ponytail. It is one of the best ways to create a chic look.

Since you lucked out with beautiful bouncy curls, you do not need to use a curling iron to create perfect curls. All you have to do is brush your hair back with a dense boar bristle brush to help smoothen and lay down your sleek hair.

You can use hairspray to keep your hair extra secured. And finally, tie your curly locks into a pony to give your bouncy curls a voluminous look.

3. Curly Bob

Have you reached the point where you are tired of long curly hairstyles? You can try other great hairstyles for curly brunettes. Enter: curly bob. If you are not confident in your DIY haircutting skills, ask your hairdresser to give you hair that is 1-2 inches below the chin.

A great way to nail the best curly bob is by creating a side part instead of a middle part. The shorter side of your brown hair can be slicked behind your ear, while the longer curls can take center stage and frame out the other half of your face. It also helps to add some personality and dimension to a short hairstyle.

You can play up this short curly hair even more by accessorizing it with a headband that is fun, feminine, and cute!

4. Curly Updo

Wearing a full dark hair messy bun on a daily basis can be fun, but it is also good to try out other curly brunette hairstyles. If you prefer to have your curly hair away from your face, a curly up-do is the right style for you.

Long to medium hair lengths work well with a curly up-do. If you have a shoulder-length cut, this might not be the right style for you. But instead of making it a messy updo, make it neat and sleek, with a few stray tendrils.

To achieve the best flawless and natural look, take small sections of your curly hair and secure them with bobby pins.

A curly updo is super versatile. This hairstyle can be rocked with your wedding guest dress or for a romantic night out.

5. Curly Pixie Cut

If you have been rocking a messy curly brunette shag for a while now and you want to freshen up your look, consider getting a curly pixie cut. It can be a flattering hairstyle for women over 40-years-old too.

Plus, it will be way easier to dry and style than long hairstyles. If you have a busy schedule, this curly pixie cut is calling your name.

To maintain and define the curls, apply a mouse when your hair is damp.

6. Curly French Braids

Yep, this chic hairstyle is not only for women with straight hair!

To get the desired look, make sure that your hair has been detangled. This way, braiding your curly hair will be much easier.

Part your hair in the middle with a comb. Secondly, section one side of your curly hair. Proceed by making three identical portions to create a basic braid. You can do this by pulling the outer part of your hair into the middle.

However, before you cross each portion, add a small piece of hair from the main area of your hair to the little section of hair from the middle. Repeat this process until you have used the entire main area of hair within the curly braid.
