Curly hair can go in any direction, as we're sure you've discovered. A hairstylist can tame it. For a playful look, cut curls so the volume goes out to the sides in a thick bob with bangs. It's a clever hairstyle for those who have long faces because the fuller sides balance the oval shape of the face.

Now this is modern romance. It displays hair's movement without looking bulky or frazzled. Most importantly, the face isn't lost behind a sea of hair. We see the defined coils and the face. As fabulous as curls are, you don't want them to mask facial features.
