Best Earrings Designs for Curly Hair that won't be lost in your locks

Hey, curly girlies! Are you tired of tucking your hair back to avoid occasional snags while wearing earrings? It is a natural tendency to just put your hair up in a safety bun to lock away your locks from accidentally tangling with your earrings. Some also complain that curls caught in the back of the earring can undo them, making hair frizz around the ear and killing the neat curl look.

We acknowledge that there is no simple and straight solution to this curly problem. But we can bring you the right earrings designs to wear with your curls that will make a fashion statement and stay mess-free. Don’t you worry! With our handy tips and tricks, you can wear your daily studs and hoops without losing them in your locks.

What makes curls enticing and exciting is definitely their curvature. We believe that enhancing the natural beauty of your curly locks by selecting earrings that mirror their shapely curves is the right way to go. The result will be harmonious and visually stunning, with the perfect balance between the curls and the curves.

So here we are, rounding up different curl types and matching them with the respective earring styles that we think will suit them ideally.

Loose curls

These are defined curls that are not too tight or kinky and have a more relaxed and natural look. Also called soft curls, they can be enhanced with a stone-studded hoop look. Use A Fine Line Hoop Earrings for daily wear with some sparkly spunk. For a sleek statement earring, go for these Fine Block Hoop Earrings. Both have smooth edges and multiple mini-sized shimmering solitaires that will glamorise any outfit. 

Tight curls

These are curls that are tightly coiled and have a more defined spiral shape. Hoop earrings and studs will also look great on people with tight curls. Wear cluster studs like these Round Halo Solitaire Studs or Victorian Luxor Ear Studs that will shine loud on your lobes that even a mop of curls can’t hide. For a bolder look, pick a dangler or a drop with not many zagged edges that can tangle your curls. Twin Amore Solitaire Earrings or these Illuminar Pear Drop Earrings have curvaceous drops that are a gorgeous complement to any curl.

Kinky curls

Kinky curls are not only more tightly coiled than tight curls but they have a more defined spiral shape and a tendency to be frizzier. Hoops and studs are still a good option for kinky curls as well. Pick these Petite Hoop Earrings or these Two Line Boxed Hoop Earrings whose shape will accentuate the tight curls. And since they have an interlocking back, your curls won’t get caught in them, and will remain frizz-free.

Coily curls

Another step up from kinky curls, these curls are tightly coiled, kinky, and their spiral shape is much defined. If you don’t want to disturb the spiral goodness and let them flow inhibited, just put some strategically placed hairpins around the back side of your ear to subdue the hair around that might play spoilsport with your earrings. For a pixie curl or an asymmetric afro, we can’t recommend these Luminous Dainty Hoop Earrings enough. Its whimsy curves will add a modern dimension to your curls. For a spot of colour, wear these Chromatic Solitaire Stud Earrings that come in colours like scarlet, emerald, violet, and ocean blue.

Wavy curls

These "S" shaped patterned curls are not as tightly coiled as other types of curls, and they tend to have a more relaxed fall. You can transform these casual curls by adding elegant and polished earrings like these Tandem Solitaire Earrings or these Trinity Solitaire Statement Earrings. These delicate drops will create an exciting peek-a-boo moment, or if you want to flaunt them loud and clear, sweep your curls on one shoulder and let these dazzle bombs drop!
