How to Style Your Hair for a Snow Day
By NaturallyCurly · Published March 21, 2018

winter natural hairstyle

With winter wreaking havoc on the weather, finding the right styles for your curls takes a little extra preparation and thought. When the weather forecast calls for a serious case of the flurries – or worse – another bomb cyclone, having a few tried and true snow day hairstyles is always a good idea to get you through the season in style. Here are 5 styles to break out of a rut when cold weather strikes.

1. Wrap Up

Depending on how extreme the weather is in your area, it may be time to wrap up your curls for a style that is pretty and protective all in one. Wrap styles are actually one of the more versatile choices because there are so many ways to wrap your curls. Here is a tutorial to help you master three different wrapping techniques to achieve this winter-friendly look:

Here are 45 more ways to wear a headwrap.

2. Heatless Winter Braid Out

Winter can be drying for our hair as is, so you don’t want to add to that by heat styling your hair. When you want a look that offers body and texture without taking on the extra damage of heat tools, these heatless curls are the way to go. This is an easy overnight look, so you wake up with beautiful winter curls perfect for the office or a day of fun.

3. Winter Wash and Go

A wash and go is a staple for most naturals, so when looking at snow day hairstyles, don’t count this one out just yet. This is such an easy way to get a great look to last throughout the day, so you want to look for ways to make it more winter friendly. The key here is thick cremes for lasting hydration. Here is a quick video of achieving a winter wash and go:

4. High Puff with Faux Bangs

A high puff is one of the easiest looks to pull off in any season. When you want a twist on the high puff complete with faux bangs, this video has you covered:

5. Winter Protective Style

Since winter can be a little harsh on your strands, it is important to have a protective style to keep your curls healthy during those harsh snow days. With this look, your ends are safely tucked in to avoid any damage while also giving you a pretty style that is easy to achieve.

If you’re going to be covering up with a hat or scarf, keep in mind that the material will likely be rubbing up against your curls, so opt for satin-lined accessories whenever possible.

How are you wearing your hair in the extreme cold?

Curly Hairstyles To Try In 2025
Sabrina Carpenter on Instagram
By Larry Stansbury · Updated December 24, 2024

Can you believe it’s almost 2025? While we’re looking back at all the beauty moments of this year at all this year’s beauty moments, we’re also looking forward to the trends coming in the new year, specifically for the curls. “The focus is all about embracing natural textures,” says IGK NYC hairstylist Olya Iudina. “People are moving away from over-styled looks and leaning into the beauty of their own curls.” 

Remember how people were diffusing their curls? Yep, it’s still on the horizon. “Embracing your natural curls has been making a big comeback in 2024 and for 2025,” says RPZL Master Stylist Stephanie Angelone. “Instead of blowing your hair out, a round brush using the diffusing nozzle with curling products and letting natural curls dry without frizz is on the upswing.”

This year, we’re seeing a surge in styles that celebrate the beauty of all curls, from bold Jheri Curls to curly pixie. For specific hairstyles, layered bobs, heavy fringes, and voluminous shapes offer versatility and showcase curls in their best spotlight. Regarding curly hair, we’re focusing on low-maintenance yet high-impact hairstyles (especially if we’re trying to look good when running late to work). Let’s remember beauty products to maintain the volume of the curls. “The main focus here is moisture,” says Iudina. “Something that will enhance hair texture and won’t bring it down.”

2025 is the year for the curls to shine. We’re here to express ourselves with the power of hair while keeping it chic and healthy. 

Below for some inspiring curly hair looks to consider rocking in the new year.
