loose curls

Soft spiral strands

Loose curls are curls with a relaxed, open spiral pattern rather than tight coils.

The term appears in hair styling to describe waves that fall softly rather than springing back: She styled her hair in loose curls for the wedding.

The look suggests effortless elegance rather than precision.
