Best Pageant Hairstyles for Naturally Curly Hair

Contestants with curly hair are often advised to straighten their curls or tame them into smooth waves. While you certainly could do that if you wanted to, I believe that curls are very unique and worth celebrating! Wearing your natural curls proudly exudes a fierce and confident attitude.

Although curls can be a force to be reckoned with when styling, in this post I explain how to get curls to behave beautifully! Here are four red-carpet hairstyles that are perfect for showcasing curly hair at your next pageant:

Taylor Swift demonstrates how beautiful natural curls can be. She left the ends curled and styled her bangs in a sideswept style. To enhance natural curls, add a curl-enhancing cream to damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser nozzle. You can further enhance curls by using a curling iron on one or two inch sections. Give bangs the sweeping movement by pulling a flatiron in a fluid motion and twisting upwards at the ends. Set the look with light hairspray.

The Effortless Look

Miley Cyrus wears a curly ponytail that drapes down her back. Her bangs are lightly curled around her face, and the curls are gathered into a tight, low ponytail. Wrap a piece of hair around the ponytail to add a little sophistication. Keep curls smooth by using a moisturizing cream on dry hair.

The Romantic Look

Emmy Rossum models a romantic curly bun. Spray curls with a texturizing spray. Gather the hair back into a low ponytail. Create a bun by loosely wrapping the ponytail around the ponytail elastic, pinning with bobby pins to secure. Set the look with hairspray.

The Glamorous Look

Kourtney Kardashian has a stunning Old Hollywood-inspired look with her curls. To enhance natural curls, add a curl-enhancing cream to damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser nozzle. Create defined curls with a curling iron. Straighten the top few inches of hair and set by applying a mix of gel and styling cream with a toothbrush to hold the look without making the hair too stiff. Set the style with hairspray
