    Go for something loose, messy, and choppy if you want some softness and femininity in your look. If you'd rather be more dramatic, opt for bangs that are straight and blunt.

    Take a comb, run it across the top of your head, and part your hair, either midline or to the side. Then you can do a low pony or a low bun to keep it parted.

    Community Answer

    People who are thin and short look great with hair that falls just past their shoulders. If your hair is curly, you can try straightening it to make it look longer. If you would want to keep your hair curly, then wear it loose; you can brush it off to the side to give it more motion and movement.

    A great way to sport your hair is to keep it down but give it some unique flair. Take a small section and braid it and pull it back, pinning it with an accessory.

    When your hair is dry, put some coconut oil in it. You don't need a lot; just a small amount. This will help with frizz and heal your split ends as well.

    Use a detangler made for your hair type (for example: thick, thin, etc.), also try to find a detangling conditioner. For the detangler I recommend any Kristin Ess sprays -- you can get them at Target.

    In my opinion you'd look stunning with a high ponytail or with a half ponytail. You could also wear it down and use a texturizing spray to make your hair look less flat.

    You should try doing a knotted bun or a messy carefree ponytail. If you'd like a more sophisticated look, try doing a half up, half down hairdo.

    How do I style my hair if it's long and curly and I can't leave it down?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Don’t brush it too much, or it will be super frizzy and hard to maintain. Spray it with a water-based leave-in conditioner, then style it. I would try a bun or dutch braids for your hair type.

    High ponytails or high pigtails are a couple options. To make a bit of a flashy or cute look, add a simple braid at the end or fishtail braid. Use colorful, glittery or cute accessories like headbands, bows, ribbons, colorful hair ties or even a little bit of glitter!
