let’s get into it because spring is here, the curls are curling, and it’s time for a hair switch up that actually gives what it’s supposed to give. Here’s a fun, flirty, and curly girl-approved

Spring Hair Switch-Ups You’ll Actually Want to Try

Because your curls deserve better than a winter bun and a prayer.

Listen. The sun is staying out longer, your seasonal depression is packing her bags, and your curls are THIRSTY for a new vibe.
And let’s be real: nothing says “I’m entering my soft but spicy era” like a fresh hairstyle to match the energy.

This season, we’re not just trimming dead ends we’re trimming dead energy, breaking up with dusty go to buns, and giving our natural hair the shine (and moisture) it deserves. Whether you’re a curly queen who likes a little clip-in drama or someone who likes to keep it cute, coily, and low maintenance, I’ve got options for you.

So let’s get into it because your 3B-3C curls are not basic, and neither are you.

Voluminous Half-Up Clip-In Ponytail (aka “The I’m Booked & Busy But Still Fine” Style)

If you love the idea of drama without commitment, this is your look. Take your natural curls and pop in some curly clip in extensions that match your texture. Pull the top half of your hair into a high, flirty ponytail, leave your curls out in the back, and boom volume, shape, and bounce that turns heads on sidewalks and subway platforms.

Add a scrunchie or silk ribbon if you wanna be extra (and yes, we love extra over here).

T’yanna Tip: Keep that edge control on deck because ain’t nothing cute about a half up ponytail with crunchy edges. Lay them curls with a soft bristle brush and a little mousse for a natural hold that still lets your coils pop.

Fluffy Side-Part Afro with Clip-Ins aka “Yes, This Is All Me… Kind Of”

If you’ve ever wanted that “main character walking through the spring farmer’s market with her curls bouncing in the wind” energy this is IT. Blend a few well placed clip-ins with your natural hair and create a deep side part, picking it out for a round, fluffy shape.

This style is full, it’s fun, it’s high-key sexy, and it’s perfect for a brunch, a picnic, or just a random Wednesday where you wanna feel iconic.

T’yanna Tip: Don’t skip the pick, babe. Fluff it out until your hair looks like it’s about to have its own zip code. Volume is a love language.

3. Defined Wash & Go (aka “Soft Life Curls Activated”)

You know that perfect curl day where you do the wash & go and your hair said “I understood the assignment”? Yeah. That’s the vibe here.

Perfect for springtime, the wash & go is lightweight, bouncy, and lets your natural texture be the star. Use a good curl cream or gel combo, section your hair, define those coils, and air dry or diffuse. You’ll be walking through spring like a herbal tea commercial.

T’yanna Tip: Don’t forget that silk scarf or bonnet at night, boo. A wash & go without nighttime protection is just a wash & no. Keep it cute, not crunchy.

4. Chunky Two-Strand Twists (aka “I’m Booked, Moisturized, and Unbothered”)

Listen protective styles are a vibe, and chunky twists are that girl. Whether you’re heading to the beach, planning a weekend getaway, or just don’t feel like doing your hair for a week, twists are low maintenance but still high key beautiful. Plus, when you unravel them later? You get that bomb twistout as a bonus.

T’yanna Tip: Add gold cuffs, shells, or little spring-colored rubber bands if you want to make the style pop. You didn’t sit there twisting for hours just to be basic.

Spring is the season of blooming, and your hair deserves to blossom too. Whether you’re clip in glam or natural and minimalist, the vibe is the same: light, bouncy, juicy curls with a little sass and a lot of confidence.

So switch it up. Add that volume. Try the twist. Rock the wash & go. And most importantly, don’t let anybody tell you what your curls should look like this season.

Because if your hair could talk, it’d say: “I’m moisturized, thriving, and nobody’s dusty man can text me today.”

Now go be the curl icon you were born to be.
