A ringlet is a type of
hairstyle. Ringlets are often also known as princess curls or corkscrew curls. It is achieved by wrapping a lock of hair around the length of a thin
curling iron or can be done naturally by people with sufficiently
curled hair. The curls can also be achieved by
hair rollers.[1] Loose ringlets can be created just by twisting wet hair as well.
Many
Haredi and
Hasidic Jewish men wear
payot, which may be curled as ringlets.
