Short Curly Hair

Get inspired by some of Hollywood’s curly but short styles!!!

Everyone’s hair is different, each strand completely unique. This is especially true when it comes to curly hair. Your choices for short curly hair styles are most commonly determined by your face shape and personal style but most importantly by your hair, and the type of curl you possess. Celebrities have recently been chopping their locks to achieve new fresh looks, not a ponytail in sight!

>African American women tend to have a very tight and thick curl that begins at the root and continues to spiral all the way to the tip. The best short curly hair styles for this type of hair are ones that can handle the weight of certain curl products which will be used to both separate and define individual sections.

These styles are usually either extremely short, or are left at a mid-chin to shoulder length. For examples of great short curly hair styles for African American hair, try sourcing photos of celebs such as Halle Berry or Rihanna.

Loose and wavy curls are sometimes even harder to manage than tighter more dense curly hair. This is because loose curls seem more susceptible to the effects of humidity, moisture and product residue. The best short curly hair cuts for this type of hair are usually fairly free-flowing and funky.

Cutting a large amount of layers into the hair will work with the loose curls to add texture and volume. For examples of these types of short curly hair styles try sourcing photos of American sweethearts, Sara Jessica Parker or a short haired Charlize Theron.

True cork-screw curls are rare but beautiful. If you are lucky enough to have such strands almost any short curly hair styles will work.

For the best curly hair styles for corkscrew curls have a look for images of stunning celebs such as Meg Ryan.
