Vintage Mood Takes Over Hair Trends: Style It with the ‘Ghost Curl’

The latest hair trend everyone’s talking about? The ghost curl. Effortless and naturally undone, it looks just like you’ve just rolled out of bed—and the best part? It’s perfect for anyone who struggles with hair styling.

The ghost curl was first introduced by hairstylist Tom Smith (@tomsmithhd), and true to its name, it features soft, barely-there waves that almost look like they’re not even styled. Think of it as a grown-out perm or curls loosely twisted with your fingers—it’s all about that carefree, natural vibe.

 

Why Everyone Loves the Ghost Curl

• Defined curls take a backseat—this look focuses on soft, elegant silhouettes

The ultimate “effortlessly chic” hairstyle for the no-fuss look

• Pairs perfectly with your daily outfits thanks to its undone, relaxed texture

• Sits right between straight and wavy—flattering on any face shape and hair length

 

How to Get the Look
The secret to ghost curls? Letting go. You don’t need perfect curls—just grab sections of your hair at random and loosely curl them. If you have naturally curly hair, simply apply curl cream and let it air dry. Finish off by gently brushing through with a wide-tooth comb to soften the shape.

No Salon? No Problem! Here’s How to DIY You don’t need a professional perm for this look—just a curling iron or flat iron at home will do.

 

1. Create Asymmetric Curls
Use a 32–36mm curling iron or a flat iron to alternate between C-curls and S-curls in different directions. Don’t aim for perfection—use your fingers to gently tousle and loosen the curls for that undone finish.

2. How to Make Curls Last
Avoid touching the curls right after styling. Let the heat cool down completely before using your hands to break them up—that’s the key to achieving that dreamy ghost wave.

3. Blow-Dry Styling Tip
Apply curl cream, then scrunch your hair gently while blow-drying with warm air. That’s it! It’s simple and keeps hair care easy.

 

The Takeaway?
We’re in an era where looking effortlessly pretty is all the rage.
With ghost curls, you can achieve a naturally chic vibe that’s all your own.
