12 Milano Curls Braids Hairstyles for Bouncy, Voluminous Ends

Milano curls take braiding and pair it with tightly spiraled, bouncy curl extensions at the ends, and the volume it creates is honestly unmatched by a plain straight braid.

These are the twelve versions I love most.

Classic Milano Curls

Braided roots leading into full, bouncy spiral curls give you a dramatic, glamorous finish.

Milano Curls With a Middle Part

A middle part frames the voluminous curls symmetrically on both sides for a balanced finish.

Milano Curls Half-Up

Pulling the top section up shows off the bounce and volume of the curls even more.

Milano Curls With Beads

A few beads at the braided root section add detail before the curls take over the rest of the look.

Colored Milano Curls

Bold or dimensional color on the curly ends makes the volume even more eye-catching.
