If blondes supposedly have more fun, do curly blondes have the most? Is having both curly and blonde hair considered a beauty power move? Do such silky, springy strands even get frizzy? (These are the hard-hitting questions, folks.) If styling curly blonde hair has you frazzled, you can embrace your natural curls with some easy tricks. These quick and simple hairstyles let those with curly hair get in on the styling action. Plus, we've included stylish cuts for blonde curly hair to show your stylist, so you won't even have to spend any time on styling most days.

We're talking ponytails and half-ups, twists and braids and low-maintenance haircut ideas—they're all on the menu. Sure, honey-hued and buttery blonde curls might never truly outgrow their wily ways (thank goodness!), but we wouldn't want it any other way.

These 25 easy hairstyles for blonde curly hair will turn your most uninspired hair days into show-stopping ones.

Sideswept Part

A part swept to one side and tucked behind the ear on the other side will allow curls to stack and create layers that are full of volume.

Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs are an easy way to add extra volume to curly hair. Plus, you can pull them to the front to accentuate them or tuck them into longer curls for a more understated look.

Deep Side Part

A deep side part allows hair to keep plenty of volume at the roots and allows natural curls plenty of room to fall. We love this style with darker roots.

Voluminous Lob

A short-all-over hairstyle allows curls to keep their natural volume and bounce without being weighed down. And don't skip the bangs!

Curly Pixie

To us, a curly pixie is the perfect pixie. It's elegant while being easy and carefree. This mane swears by Bb. Curl Anti-Humidity Gel Oil to keep the volume but get rid of the frizz.

Short Bob with Bangs

Adding bangs to a short bob allows beautiful, natural curls to shine and create a loose frame around the face.

Lots of Short Layers

Adding plenty of layers from roots to ends allow natural curls to be shown off. This hairstyle also showcases the mixed shades of blonde.

Simple Side Twist

A simple twist pinned to one side will keep hair out of the face while still allowing curls to fall naturally.

Clipped Half-Up Style

A quick half-up style does the work when you have curly "Carrie Bradshaw" hair. An easy bar clip just gives a touch of style without being complicated.

Angled Lob with Headband

Short curly hairstyles can still be paired with accessories for a dressed-up look. Simply add a black velvet headband or ribbon to upgrade a curly blonde lob in seconds.

Braided Low Pony

Starting around your temples, braid two small sections of hair and secure with clear elastics. Pull the rest of your hair into a low ponytail, and wrap the two braids around the base.

Shaggy Curls

Nothing has come back stronger than the shag, and your curls will make the most of this classic cut. It works with your natural curl. Short, choppy bangs are equal parts sweet and edgy.

Half-Up Bun

For short blonde curly hair, it doesn't get much easier than this. Pull the top half of your hair into a ponytail, twist it into a bun, and secure it with bobby pins or a hair tie.

Classic High Pony

The trick to getting this volume-packed pony: layering two ponytails. This style needs some texture to keep the trick hidden, so it's perfect for curly hair. The top ponytail gives you all the lift you'd ever need, while the hidden ponytail right underneath makes your pony look longer.

Curly Twist

This look will transition easily from day to night, work to party. Create three or four small ponytails, then flip each one over itself and tuck it through the next one to create small twists before securing into a bun.

Clipped Side Part

Speaking of Carrie Bradshaw, this side part style has us missing her iconic 1990s curls. The funky clip fits the retro vibe too.

Classic Low Bun

Sometimes, we like to go back to the basics. Pull your curls into a casual chignon and throw in pin detailing just for fun. If you're running late, this look is a no-brainer.

Layered Lob

This cut is a classic on curly hair—and don't you forget it. Layers make sure the spirals get plenty of natural volume and bounce.

Easy Braided Bun

Once you've mastered this easy braid style, it will be your new go-to, even on the days you oversleep. In just one step, a Dutch or French braid adds major style to a basic bun—and distracts from any frizz.

Double Knotted Half-Up

@kayleymelissa
@kayleymelissa

We're not tricking you. This style is just two separate sections of your hair being knotted the old-fashioned way. But it looks mighty cool.

Braided Half-Back

If you're not so confident in your updo abilities, this braided half-up meets you halfway by keeping things simple, even if it doesn't look it.

Double Braid Headband

This style involves a little more work, but don't all good things? For your next formal event, we dare say this curly look will be the belle of the ball.

Easy Twisted Ponytail

With just a few twists, your curls will be back and out of your way. A few bobby pins keep this style in place, and you can dress up this easy look with a jeweled pin.

Bubble Half-Up Style

Like the bubble ponytail, a bubble half-up is even more fun when paired with curls. Bring two sections together at the top to create a ponytail. Add an elastic every 3-4 inches and gently loosen the hair. Add to the look with a few stylish accessories.

Pretty Pins
