Rihanna's Tousled High Ponytail
The cascading high ponytail is a perennial favorite -- after all, it looks really cool, while also taking fairly minimal effort. Honestly, what's not to love? A fun color, like the coppery shade Rihanna's rocking here, can also be a great way to punch up your curly-hair look.

Curly Pixie
Asymmetrical pixies are always alternative and cool, but they're especially alternative and cool with curly hair. Just make sure to add appropriate amounts of pomade, and you'll look like a rockstar.

Sailor Moon Buns
Sailor Moon buns -- or "pigtail thingies," as beauty vlogger Alyssa Forever calls them -- are great for when you're feeling lazy, but still want to look like you put some effort into your look. Center part your hair, loop your pigtails into puffs, secure with bobby pins, and you're good to go.
