3 Carrie Bradshaw-Inspired Curly Hairstyles for Every Hair Type

Learn how to recreate Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic curls from “Sex and the City.”

If you’re a devoted “Sex and the City” fan, you surely know that every character is a true style icon. Take, for instance, Carrie Bradshaw, with her witty writing, love for expensive shoes, and those cascading, fluffy, and natural-looking soft curls to die for.

Carrie Bradshaw’s curly hairstyle is the ultimate hair goal for many fashionistas out there. For curly beauties, the flowing signature look is a sign to embrace their natural hair texture. For girls with fine and straight hair, curly style à la Carrie Bradshaw is a great chance to revamp their everyday look with a whirl. Here are three different ways to master that Carrie Bradshaw-inspired look on different hair types.

Straight to Curly

Here’s the truth about us type 1 hair girls: we just love curling our locks every now and then. But to bring some funky vibes to the look and transform straight hair into tumbling curls, one must show a great deal of commitment. One way to get that curly mane is to use a half-inch curling iron.

Just divide your hair into several sections and start curling each strand. The smaller the piece you do at a time, the better it turns out. Use your hairspray on each section to make those tight curls last. And the best thing about this style is that you can wear it for days!

Styling Natural Curls

If you have naturally curly hair, you’ve definitely mastered the Curly Girl Method to get those well-defined ringlets every time you style your tresses. Here’s a great curly hair tutorial to make your curls pop as if you’re Carrie Bradshaw herself. After washing and conditioning your hair as usual, apply your favorite curling cream and styling products.

Then, take a Denman brush and start brush-styling your curls to achieve smooth and even ringlets. Use a diffuser to dry your curls. Finally, give your ringlets a little shake and run your fingers gently through them to let the frizz in (just a bit!) for a more natural and perfectly imperfect look.

Short Fine Hair Inspo

Who says girls with thin hair can’t have fun? And if your definition of ‘fun’ matches ours, you’ll surely try this heatless curl method to channel Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic look and add some fullness to your mane. Start out by creating four French braids on slightly wet hair for your overnight curls.

The next morning, take down the braids and curl the mini-sections with a tiny curling iron to break the smooth and braided effect of the tips. And just like that, you get this ultra-natural look that screams Carrie Bradshaw.
