Take it from someone who knows, learning to love your wild, fuzzy, and high-maintenance curls can be a tricky business. The silver lining is that born-with-it-frizz is everywhere thanks to a slew of Insta-famous ladies inspiring thousands, or rather *millions* of followers to let their coils run free. From sky-high corkscrews to soft Botticelli spirals, fill your feed with these #curlgoals.
1. Vashtie
The DJ, director, and girl-about-town's glossy spirals look especially cool when thrown up in a bun, with face-framing wisps.
2. Marlene Wilkerson
We love when The Find Guru founder throws her golden mane into an aerial half-bun.

On her wedding day, Knowles left her hair au naturale, adorning her fro with a smattering of flowers. On any given day she's rocking her signature style or switching things up with Diana Ross-esque, brushed-out waves.
