Ringlets are a type of hairstyle that is created by curling the hair into small, tight spirals. They are often seen in children's hairstyles, but can also be worn by adults. The term 'ringlets' is derived from the word 'curls, ' which is a five-letter word that is used to describe the same hairstyle. Ringlets are usually created with the use of heated styling tools, such as curling irons or rollers, and can be styled in various ways.
