What are good hairstyles for curly hair?

how can i style my hair? it is thick and naturally curly in tight ringlets, and it is really poofy, and goes just below my shoulders. I just don't know how to style it except fro to leave it down naturally or but it in a ponytail/bun. i want to know ways that would be easy for me to style my hair with different ways that i could possibly leave it down but do something different and unique with it. i'm sure that many people with curly hair can understand the frustration you can go through just trying to make your hair look nice. if anyone could help me, i would appreciate it. 10 points will go to the best answer.What are good hairstyles for curly hair?
For long curly hair you want to be sort of smooth you may need to roll it (the hot rollers that are cloth I like best on my curly hair) to get the curls all going in one direction



Since it's summer, you may want something cooler than down -- a French twist is very contemporary 2009:

I get compliments on a French braid which can make curly hair look more wavy and less puffy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6M7WzzYP It's a little more interesting than a pony tail or a bun and really looks better on curly hair than straight.



For long curly hair that you want to be curly, the best way to style it is to let it dry naturallly out of the shower with a little bit of gel or mousse and don't touch it other than to twist a ringlet or so. Maybe hair spray after that. Here are some directions for ringlets: http://www.virtualhaircare.com/virtual%2



Also, this year cuts are getting shorter, and I'm thinking ... so here is my favorite short/medium length cut. It is long on top and tapered short around the face and neck (the 3rd model down in the url above, or see the stage 2 in the url below). The curls could do their thing at the top, but it still looked like it had some form. It is shaped into more of a diamond around the face counteracting curly hair's tendency to pyramid.



Here is an example of short. Look at stage 2 in the progression from short to shoulder length curly hair. The bubble/round is not as becoming, imo. Stage 2 is a nice short wedge shape that is easy and can be either styled or let go curly.
