This year, spiral curls are the talk of every hair trend. Whether you wear your natural hair, try new heatless styles, or reach for a curly wig, the spiral curl look is everywhere! I’m excited to share my favorite ways to get these bouncy, beautiful curls, the best products, and how to keep them looking great all week long. If you're ready to upgrade your style, let’s dive in and embrace those gorgeous spirals together!

What Exactly Are Spiral Curls?

Spiral curls aren’t just any type of curl—they’re tight, springy, and resemble the coils of a spring. Unlike loose waves or beachy curls, these are more defined and usually fall in uniform ringlets. They add a ton of volume and bounce to any style. Many curly girls have this naturally, but with the right technique and tools, anyone can rock spiral curls—no matter your hair type.

How Can You Achieve Gorgeous Spiral Curls?

The Curling Wand Method for Defined Spirals

One of my favorite tools for perfect spirals is a skinny curling wand. I section my hair into small pieces, wrap each one around the barrel, and hold it for about 10 seconds. When I release the hair, I have tight, shiny spirals! A trick I use: let the curl cool in my hand so it keeps its shape even longer.

Overnight Foam Rollers for Heat-Free Spiral Curls

If you don’t like using heat, foam rollers are your friend. After washing and lightly drying my hair, I twist small sections onto the foam rollers before bed. By morning, I wake up and gently unroll them for gorgeous spirals with no damage! Plus, they last for days with a little bit of product.

The Quick-Fix Braided Spiral Technique

On busy days, I braid damp hair into small, tight braids right before sleeping. In the morning, I unravel them and separate the curls with my fingers. This gives a more relaxed spiral—but it’s still just as cute, and super fast!

Effortless Beauty with Spiral Curly Wigs

When I want to make a statement with zero fuss, nothing beats slipping on a curly wig from Luvme Hair. These wigs bring instant length, definition, and luscious spirals. Whether it’s for a big event, daily confidence, or a protective style, they’re my easy go-to for flawless, bounce-filled curls every time.

Show-Stopping Spiral Curl Styles for Every Length

Statement Spiral Curls for Long Hair

Long spiral curls are truly glamorous. I love wearing my length loose, in a high ponytail, or doing a half-up, half-down style for special occasions. A Long Curly Wig is especially perfect if you want to add extra drama to your look!

Spirals with Chic Confidence on Short Hair

Short spiral curls are just as bold. They frame my face beautifully and make styling fast—just fluff them out and go. Sometimes, I pin back one side for a modern, asymmetrical vibe. You really can’t go wrong!

Defined Tight Spiral Curls

If you love super defined curls, I use lots of small sections when styling to get individual ringlets. A bit of lightweight gel helps keep the definition but still keeps the curls bouncy.

Voluminous Big Spiral Curls

For extra volume, I separate and fluff my spirals gently with a wide-tooth comb or just my hands. The bigger, the better if you ask me! This style always gets compliments—especially when I use my favorite Luvme Hair curly wig.

How Long Do Spiral Curls Last and How Can You Maintain Them?

Depending on your styling method, spiral curls can last anywhere from two to seven days. To keep mine fresh, I:

  • Sleep with a satin scarf or pillowcase
  • Refresh with light water spray and a leave-in conditioner
  • Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to keep curls separated
  • Re-curl or touch up sections if needed

If I’m wearing a wig, like those from Luvme Hair, I just pop it on a wig stand at night and it keeps its perfect spiral shape!
