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.

11. Solange Knowles
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.

Wade dabbles into bleach with her picture-perfect ombré, but let's her naturally crimped waves do their thing, which totally suits her bohemian aura.

15. Miss Brit
The ultimate statement hair, we love when Miss Brit pairs her corkscrew fro with a vampy statement lip.

Lauren is the former beauty editor at Marie Claire. She love to while away the hours at coffee shops, hunt for vintage clothes, and bask in the rough-and-tumble beauty of NYC. She firmly believes that solitude can be a luxury if you’ve got the right soundtrack—that being the Rolling Stones, of course.
