If there’s one look that never goes out of style, it’s the effortless beauty of soft curls and loose waves. Whether you’re heading to brunch, a night out, or just want to elevate your everyday style, these curls bring that perfect mix of polish and ease. At HONE&CO, the best salon North Sydney, we see this look requested daily—and for good reason! It’s versatile, flattering, and suits all face shapes and hair types.
But how do you get that just-right curl without the frizz or stiffness? We’ve got you covered with our favourite hairstyle tips, styling techniques, and must-have products. Let’s break it down.
Start with the Right Foundation
Beautiful curls start in the shower. Hydration is key, especially for those with natural texture or who struggle with dry or frizzy ends. We love Kerastase Curl Manifesto Bain Hydratation Douceur, a gently hydrating shampoo that preps your hair for smooth styling. Follow with the Fondant Hydratation Essentielle to soften and detangle while preserving curl shape.
This combo is a must for curly hair Sydney product recommendations!
Style Like a Pro
Once your hair is towel-dried, we have two key products we are obsessed with.
The Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream defines and enhances the appearance of curls, infused with nourishing Argan oil to increase bounce and movement while improving curl pattern.
Then the Moroccanoil Curl Control Mouse is a lightweight airy foam that seals in moisture while taming curls and encouraging separation without leaving a sticky residue. It beautifully enhances shine and eliminates frizz.
When styling, use a large-barrel curling wand or flat iron. Wrap sections of hair around the barrel, alternating direction for a more natural wave. Be sure to leave the ends out slightly for that modern, undone finish.
Don’t Forget to Finish
A little styling cream or oil will go a long way in maintaining soft curls all day long. We’re obsessed with Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream – a very rich deep nourishing leave in conditioner infused with vitamins and antioxidant rich argan oil. Used for all curl taming, curl defining and reactivating needs.
Loose waves can be beachy, glam, polished or casual depending on how you finish them. They work for both short and long hair, and suit everyone from our sleek bob clients to our long-layered girls rocking the best curly hair Sydney has to offer.
At the best salon North Sydney, we love creating soft waves on clients of all ages.
