Few hairstyles are as easy to do as half up, half down, also known as half up. This style that was successful in the 90s is back with a vengeance and has become the favorite of many celebrities and influencers on Instagram. To reproduce this look, the tip is to leave the top strand, which will be stuck, very high and with the root well polished. Use a gelatin or hair gel to help give this effect to the strands. The fall of the curls on top of the head will create a voluminous effect that is super modern and full of attitude.

2. Ponytail variations are great simple hairstyle options for long curly hair

It's impossible to talk about simple hairstyles for long curly hair without talking about ponytails. This look is a classic and always a great choice for anyone who needs to fix their locks quickly on a daily basis.

Loose hairstyles are perfect for enhancing the length of long curly hair. If you are looking for an easy and quick style to do alone, it is worth betting on the side hairstyle. You'll only need a few barrettes or clips to secure a small section to one side of your head and you're good to go. If you want a slightly more elaborate look, but still very easy to reproduce, twist some strands and use the bobby pins and barrettes to maintain the effect.

4. The braid ponytail enhances the length of the curls with simplicity and style

The braid ponytail is one of the best options for those looking for simple hairstyles to get inspired. As the name of the hairstyle already reveals, the look consists of a ponytail - which can be done at the height you prefer - in which the strands are braided. The trick to reproduce at home is to make your ponytail as usual and, with your hair tied up, make a simple three-strand braid. Then just secure the end of the braid with a very thin elastic so it doesn't open. If you want a more stripped-down look, you can leave the root fluffier and looser. But if the goal is a well-groomed and elegant look for a special occasion, the low and well-polished root is the best option.

5. Double buns are great options for simple and laid-back hairstyles

Another darling of fashionistas, the double buns (or double bun, in Portuguese) are perfect for those with a more casual and laid-back style. This hairstyle is a variation of the half bun and consists of making two small buns in the front locks of the hair and leaving the rest of the strands loose. In addition to being easy to do, this look is super versatile and allows for different styles. You can customize your double buns with accessories or use larger strands to make them look more voluminous and messy. It is also possible to make more polished double buns or with some loose front strands to frame the face. The choice is yours, diva.

Diva tip: choose the right finishing cream for your hairstyle

To rock any hairstyle for curly hair, a good styling cream makes all the difference. This little product not only gives more definition to curls, but also controls frizz and adds shine to locks. As curly hair needs a lot of nutrition, our suggestion is the finishers from the Cachos do Seu Jeito line, by Niely Gold, which are enriched with two ingredients that curly hair loves: linseed oil and shea butter.

If you like a lot of definition or are going to bet on a hairstyle that calls for a well-polished effect, the Definition Pudding from the line is the product that delivers this effect. But if you're a fan of volume in loose hairstyles or ponytails, Volumão Jelly is a sure choice. You can use it alone or together with the traditional combing cream, using the tape or finishing technique of your choice.
