spiral curls

Corkscrew hair twists

Spiral curls are ringlets that coil in a helix pattern, winding around themselves like a spring or corkscrew.

The term describes both natural hair texture and styled curls achieved with curling irons, rods, or rollers: Her spiral curls bounced as she walked.

The shape distinguishes them from looser waves or tighter coils.
