#12: Messy Textured Medium Hair

If you want to achieve a no-heat wild look without a crimper and other hot styling tools, that’s doable. Starting with your naturally wavy hair, simply add face-framing micro-braids and leave in for a few hours (or run over them with a straightener). If your hair is straight, do a combination of super tiny braids and larger braids for a mix of textures.

#13: Micro-Crimped Tucked Braid

For maximum volume and elegance, try this updo style. Use a crimper with small ridges all over the hair. Next create a french fishtail braid with a loose tension and allow for some wispy strands. At the end, tuck the braid under or create a simple bun.

#14: Textured Braids and Ponytail

One more styling option is a unique ponytail. After you crimp hair, make two zigzag parts. Then create three french braids that stop halfway. Next, simply grab a pony holder. You’ll definitely want to tease and pull the pony to get some cute, playful volume.

#15: Crimped Formal Updo

While most crimped hairstyles tend to be fun and funky, they can also skew more formal. These looks have evolved to cover basically every event. Here, crimping has only been added to the mid shaft and ends. Then three braids were created and wrapped around each other.

#16: Classic Crimp with Center Part

It’s really easy to learn how to crimp your hair. The best way to start is to take it slow and leave it down to show off all your hard work. Long crimped hair looks really great with a center part. Do the bottom layers first, starting at the roots. Then work through the middle to top layers. Crimped lines on dark black hair look adorable!
