Zendaya has always been a trendsetter. One look that truly stopped us in our tracks was the shoulder-length curly bangs bob she wore to the Teen Choice Awards. This style has become a staple for her, gracing red carpets and press appearances alike. It’s voluminous, defined, and bold—a look that works just as well off the carpet as it does on.
The Look Features
A mix of loose bouncy spirals and tighter coils
A rounded, voluminous silhouette
Shoulder-grazing length
And the standout: bold, curly fringe bangs that frame the face
This look didn’t just capture the hearts of Zendaya fans; it became a behind-the-scenes favorite at MANESTORY.
While testing curl textures for our upcoming Body & Curly Collection, this look kept popping up in inspiration feeds and editorial spreads. However, we rarely saw it in real life. So, we made it our benchmark. If a curl pattern could achieve this level of volume, shape, and blend, we knew we had a winner.
To achieve Zendaya-level fullness, MANESTORY’s founder:
Used 300 grams of curly wefts
Paired with a 5x5 closure for a seamless, no-leave-out style
Experimented with both 26-inch cascading curls and a 20-inch shoulder-touching bob
Included colors like Zendaya’s signature auburn with rooted tips and highlights, alongside deeper, richer tones
Although we’re still in the final stages of testing our curly textures, one thing is clear—this look is here to stay. It’s bold, versatile, and incredibly wearable. Whether you’re going for low-key or full-on glam, the curly bob with bangs is a statement style that lets you show up your way.
And the best part? You don’t need a glam squad to pull it off.

How to Get Zendaya's Curly Bob with Clip-In Extensions
You don’t need a celebrity stylist to achieve this red carpet-worthy look. All you need are the right curl patterns, a few key techniques, and high-quality extensions that blend seamlessly with your own hair.
Here’s how to recreate Zendaya’s curly fringe bob using MANESTORY curly clip-ins:
Step 1: Prep Your Hair and Extensions
Start with freshly cleansed and moisturized hair.
Wash and condition your hair and the extensions separately.
Mist curls and clip-ins with a water + leave-in conditioner mix.
Let curls settle naturally; gently detangle with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
For added security, try the Bobby Pin Method (Pre-Anchor Technique).

Step 2: Section Strategically
Begin at the nape and part hair horizontally.
Clip in wefts from the bottom up, spaced 2 cm apart.
Use smaller wefts near the crown to maintain a natural silhouette.
Save the top and front sections for last.
Step 3: Build Volume + Shape
Use 100g to 150g for natural volume, or go bold with 300g for full impact.
Focus wefts around the midshaft to crown area.
For the fringe:
- Install shorter wefts just behind the hairline.
- Avoid the Red Zone (areas where clips can show).
- Angle the wefts slightly forward to mimic a natural bang curve.
Step 4: Blend and Fluff
Shake out curls to merge your hair with the extensions.
Use your fingers or a pick to lift from the roots.
Define curls with curl-specific leave-in, mousse, or gel.
Scrunch to revive bounce; finger coil any areas as needed.
If using heat tools, stick to low heat and use protectant.
Optional: Style It Your Way
Tuck one side for a clean profile.
Add shine serum for polish.
Use edge control or root touch-up to refine the hairline.
