Hello & welcome! Curly hair items are more plentiful on site than they were a few years ago, but they can still be really hard to find in a sea of gorgeous but overwhelmingly straight and wavy wig items. This list exists to find, organize, and display items of natural hair for other people like me who want to make HAs with hair like our irl hair. Of course, everyone is welcome to enjoy the items & leave comments here.
WHAT IS NATURALLY CURLY HAIR? "Naturally curly hair" is what I'm using to refer to tight curls, afro styles, naturally kinky hair, and other similar hair types in general that tend to be natural to black people. Ideally 3C curls and tighter (@ artists, we always could use more tight curl hair styles), but since artistic renditions of hair can often be hard to peg as a particular type, or are intentionally vague, this list will have 3A items as well and in many different colors and textures. Here is a useful reference for irl curl types so you can see what I'm talking about. Scifi/fantasy themed, dyed and styled hair that still fits those categories are included. Hair with waves or straight hair that looks like they used a curling iron or got it permed won't count.
If you have any input on the items I've included feel free to leave a comment, and also if I missed any items let me know. I encourage all discussion and comments.
Also check out my old suggestion thread requesting more of these styles to be added to subeta.

[box=#6F6169] DEBATABLE & SUPPLEMENTAL [/box] Here are some items that are getting closer to the naturally curly/afro curly hair but aren't quite there. They might still be useful for layering with other items to make a curly style, or I'm just not sure if they qualify since artistic renditions of hair is a lot less certain that actual hair haha. Let me know what you think! If I have a couple people think a particular item works I might bump it up to the normal section.

---------------NOTES FOR ME
-Need to clarify if long dreads items still available from hat box and if hat box is ever in cash shop?
-Custom wearable list
-Order items newest to oldest instead of how they're kinda random now
-Spruce up forumcode
these might also qualify, am not totally shure tho
[edit]whoops saw 2 in the debatable list already [edit]these might also work
This is a great list! Keep it up! <3
One suggestion would be to stick with one categorization for the hairs rather than multiple ones. It can read a bit confusing when you have two lists with the same hairstyles.

Here are some!
Edit: I was just revamping my HA and found a couple more!

Thank you guys! I am updating this now. Still trying to figure out the best layout. :P Thanks so much for your input.
New favorite thread! I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to pour through the wardrobe myself. Thanks for all the hard work, this is wonderful!
Like my avatar? ADORE IT on Style File![/align]
Thank you! It took a while but it has always been a stress relief for me to sort through items on subeta, so I can't say I didn't enjoy it. :P Hope it continues to me useful for you~
Whoops! I thought I found a new one but right after I posted, I saw it in the list. Sorry! I am keeping my eye out for new items. :)

Finally a new addition- more dreads.
I am so glad this thread exists! I have mixed hair, which for me means its very curly but very fine. I found a couple of items that might work?
Desperately seeking ~will buy or trade for it!

We are in a drought D: I had a couple weeks previous to this month where I wasn't online, so I'll skim the wardrobe for any I might have missed. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far! It helps a lot.
In the meantime I may start a custom wearable list. I don't know if it will be useful to users, because I won't be able to distinguish private CWs vs ones that are open to buy. However it might give some good examples of what we could be getting from official site items and maybe inspire the staff a bit.
Also I've got a rough draft of a suggestion thread for curly hair styles, with lots and lots and LOTS of examples. It's taking a while to put together because I'm trying to source all the models properly, but hopefully I will have that done before Luminare haha.
you can consider
the "longdreads" and
"curled" styles as well from the built in hair salon.
Thank you! I was looking at salon styles this week and I realized I was missing some obvious ones. D'oh. Thanks for pointing those out. I'll update the OP when I get home today, I have a couple more items to add as well.

Yo, don't forget this little poof of kick-fu awesomeness...
EDIT: Nevermind, I saw it in the list already. Sorry.
😅

Some of those definitely work, thank you!!
Oh yeah I made sure to get the wilikers items, they're so great! Some of the best items you can tell where designed with black hair in mind! you might have caught me editing the list, I did delete a few items on accident the other day and had to re-add them.
Oh, goodness, thank you so much for putting this list together
[EDIT]
found a number of natural hair & thought i should add :) i actually found a few more that wasnt listed i think but i forgot to compile them. but anyway heres some:
the last one def is

IS THIS UR NATURAL HAIR COLLECTION
<( )
@ Esther Thank you so much! I saw those new hair coupons and then completely forgot about them when the Masquerade started hahaha.
You go and hecking post killmonger so now I have to be distracted by this gorgeous, chiseled man every time I scroll down the thread lol
Update on 4/2/18
Curly hair collectors, here are some curly hair opportunities!
April Collections - grab an older collection some time this month to get these really high quality wigs: 2017: 2016:
Token Shop:
Steamworks Menagerie - wave 2 of the masquerade this year totally knocked my socks off!
Debateables/Supplementals I might just add these to the list, they can work alright. I am always overanalyzing the textures for that "salon perm on straight hair" look but I don't think the artists do that so much anymore, that was more popular like 2014ish I think. :P
More masquerade treasures:
What could have been U__U Beautiful item art on these (admittedly still very cool) headset items [item=Ad for Cute Headset (Left)]
Here are some things, do they fit? They're not of the best quality of items though but some have been on this site longer than I have.
The Dreadfall set, here are a few, they come in a lot of colors and natural colors. Though blonde is among those uh natural colors.
Oh and maybe this
And I have no idea if these Heart Pastries count but I thought it wouldn't hurt to post one just in case.
