25 Fall Curly Hairstyles That Let Your Texture Do All The Talking

Okay, curly hair genuinely has the best relationship with fall out of any texture I work with. Cooler air, lower humidity some days, it’s honestly easier to get a great curl day this time of year than almost any other.

These are the 25 curly looks I keep doing this season, grouped by how you’re wearing your curls. Down and defined, pulled back, dressed up, all of it.

Save your favorite, and let your texture actually lead the style instead of fighting it.

Defined Curls Down

Sometimes the best fall hairstyle is just your curls, done right, worn down. No extra styling required.

Curly Half-Up Styles

A half-up on curly hair adds so much height and shape naturally, you barely need to do anything else.

Pulled-back curls hold shape and texture in a way straight hair just can’t, these updos look intentional from every single angle.
