What to tell your stylist
“I’d like voluminous curls around shoulder length. Please cut according to my curls with layers around the face. I don’t want the hair to spread into a triangle, and I’d like the volume balanced on top and at the sides.”
Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.
Why choose it
- Voluminous but manageable length
- Softens facial features
- Low styling for naturally curly hair
Keep in mind
- Frizzes when it loses moisture and needs regular care
- Straight hair needs a perm for this look

About Curly
At medium length, curly hair has its most balanced volume. It’s not heavy enough to go flat at the roots, and not short enough to puff out. Layers gather the curls around the face, and a curl-by-curl cut keeps the hair from drifting to one side.
On long and heart-shaped faces, the volume at the sides creates balance. On a square face, the curls soften the jawline. For care, use a moisturizing cream, dry with a diffuser, and avoid brushing when dry to keep the curls defined. Warm shades like chocolate, copper and auburn create natural depth between the curls.
Will my curls puff up more if I cut them shorter?
As hair gets shorter it loses weight and the curls tighten, so volume can increase. Well-placed layers balance this out. In Mane you can compare medium, short and long curly styles on the same photo.
Is there a difference between curly hair and a perm?
Curly means natural curls shaped by the cut. A perm uses a chemical process to give straight or wavy hair lasting curls, usually more uniform and tighter.
How many credits does it take to try Curly in Mane?
Each CONFIRM costs 1 credit and creates one image. Picking options and browsing uses no credits; a credit is only used when you press CONFIRM, and it’s refunded automatically if the generation fails. You can combine a hairstyle, color and beard in the same CONFIRM. During the beta, credits are bought in the app and the same balance works on the web.
