Curly Hair FilterDefined curls on your photo, whether you were born with them or want to buy them.
Curly hair changes the whole outline of your head: more volume at the sides, shorter apparent length, and a softer frame around the face. That is a lot to picture from a stranger's photo.
This curly hair filter turns your hair into natural, defined curls with healthy volume and leaves your face and lighting alone. Use it if you are thinking about a perm, bringing out your own texture, or simply curious.

Will curly hair suit you?
Long and narrow faces
Curls add width at the cheekbones, which balances a long face. This is where curls flatter most.
Round faces
Keep the volume below the cheekbones and some length past the chin. Curls that sit round at the jaw add width.
Already a little wavy
If your hair has a natural S-bend, the right cut and products may bring out curls without a perm. The preview shows what to aim for.
Straight, fine hair
Getting these curls means a perm, and fine hair holds one less evenly. Compare the soft perm in the gallery as a gentler option.
Getting and keeping curls
Shrinkage
Curls can look 20 to 50 percent shorter than the same hair stretched straight. Keep that in mind before any cut.
Cut by a curl specialist
Curls are best cut dry, curl by curl. Expect roughly $80 to $200 at a curl-focused salon.
Wash-day routine
Sulfate-free shampoo, a leave-in, a gel or cream, then a diffuser or air-drying. Brushing dry curls turns them into frizz.
