What are French curl braids?
French curl braids are a trendy hairstyle that combines traditional braids with the playfulness of loose curls. The hairstyle begins with a very tight braided section at the top of the scalp that’s very similar to classic French braids, but rather than having the braids extend to the end of the hair, the braids transition into spiral curls to provide a flowing look down the wearer’s back.
This look is very versatile and can be worn across various occasions. In all, French curl braids add a modern twist to a timeless braided look that really can’t be matched.
How to create French curl braids

1 پړاو: د ویښتو چمتو کول
Start by washing and conditioning the hair so that it’s manageable. Using a leave-in conditioner before using heat tools on the hair is a good way to protect it from damage. Then, make sure the hair is detangled by using a wide-toothed comb before using a rat-tail comb to separate the hair into smaller sections. The number of sections you divide into will depend on how many braids are desired.

Once the hair is sectioned using a rat-tail comb, ensure each section is secure using hair clips. It’s important that each section is even to create an even and polished look.
3 پړاو: Start braiding the hair
Start with a single section of hair at the front and apply a small amount of gel or styling mousse to the roots. To start a French braid, take three small strands of hair from the root and cross them alternately. While doing this, add hair from the section to each strand. Continue this pattern until the “stopping point,” which is usually near the nape of the neck.
4 پړاو: Create the curls
The next step is to create the curls, but first, the hair extensions must be attached to the braids’ stopping point. Make sure that the natural hair is blended in well with the hair extensions. This can be done by wrapping them into the braided pattern and then securing them with an elastic band. Some people may prefer pre-curled add-in extensions, but others curl the straight extensions later with a curling iron.
5 پړاو: Styling the curls and finishing touches
Use a curling wand to create bouncy curls and a natural texture. For a fuller look, separate the curls gently. Finally, use additional styling mousse or gel to smooth the edges and create a sleek finish. Using a setting spray will also help to keep the hairstyle in place. To refresh the curls over time, use a curling wand to create the initial bouncy look.

Ponytail French curl braids
Not everyone wants to wear their hair down all the time, which is where ponytail French curl braids come in. This look combines the elegance of braids and the playfulness of curls bundled up into a ponytail. It’s a polished hairstyle that maintains the bounciness of the curls while keeping the braids neat and secure, making it ideal for various activities and accessorization.
Classic French curl braids
With their beautiful blend of sophistication and flowing curls, classic French curl braids never go out of style. This elegant look is one that works perfectly for both casual and formal occasions, thanks to its versatility. Tight French braids and loose curls are also often enhanced with hair extensions (sometimes pre-curled) to add extra length as well as volume. This helps to create a natural look that’s both neat and playful.
Jumbo French curl braids
A unique version of French curl braids are jumbo-sized braids, whose oversized ringlets gently transition into voluminous curls. It’s a great show-stopping look and can take less time to create since there are fewer braided sections. Its playfulness means that this hairstyle is great for festivals or parties.
