Celebrity short hair styles are no simple matter.

A lot of work goes into creating images that make celebrities look attractive, often using hair styles which, without all the cheating, wouldn't really suit these women at all.


There are fifteen celebrity women in this gallery, fifteen curly hair styles, and every hair style here is short.

Not only that, but every hair style here looks good on the woman wearing it.

Does that mean that all these women have been blessed with the sort of faces that just naturally sit well beneath short curly hair styles?

Hardly!

There's a lot going on with these short celebrity hair styles that the cameras - literally - don't reveal.

Celebrity Short Hair Styles - Top Row

All the short hairstyles in the top row - and the women who wear them, naturally - come from Spain. From left to right they are Eva Pedraza, Laura Ponte, Marta Sanchez, Minerva Portillo and Esther Arroyo.

Of the five Spanish celebrities with short hair styles, only Eva Pedraza uses her hair to alter her face significantly - hers is an interesting and attractive hair style, very round at the top but cut off square near the bottom of the ears. Of her forehead, only a wedge remains visible on one side.

Pedraza's face appears fairly long, and the aim of her celebrity short hair style may simply be to make it seem shorter.

Minerva Portillo and Marta Sanchez, captured almost face on to the camera, and Esther Arroyo, in three-quarter view, hide nothing of their faces at all. Unless you include the tiny intrusion of curls on the right of Marta Sanchez's forehead.

The celebrity short hair styles worn by these three women are the real deal - Arroyo, Sanchez and Portillo wear short hair styles because they can ... and they don't need any help to look good in them.

Laura Ponte is a celebrity who often wears short hair styles - despite, however, having a face that tends to be too wide. She's usually photographed on an angle, which conceals the width.

Here she isn't looking at the camera. Her head is angled downwards, her short, curly hair is piled high to offset the breadth of her forehead and jaw. Her chin looks narrow at this angle, but not awkwardly so. It's a clever device that works for her.

Pictures that show Laura Ponte face on with a short hair style tend to use lighting, accessories and obstacles, as well as hair styling, to give her the oval look.

Celebrity Short Hair Styles - Middle Row

The middle row shows the celebrity short hair styles of German supermodel Nadja Auermann and Sweden's Mini Anden, and Americans Amy Lemons, Bette Midler and Gillian Anderson.

Mini Anden's is a short curly hair style similar to those of Portillo, Sanchez and Arroyo - no intrusion of hair into a face that needs no alteration. Her jaw might be a little bit square, but the hair line is a beautiful curve around the top of her forehead, and that pulls everything into place.

Nadja Auermann's look is very different - a quirky, short wavy hair style, shaved extremely close on the sides and pulled into a writhing forest of vine-like strands on top, reaching forward. It's a harsh style that deliberately elongates the model's face and emphasizes angles rather than curves.

The three American celebrity short hair styles are as different from each other as Anden's is different from Auermann's.

Amy Lemons, like Sweden's Mini Anden and Spain's Arroyo, Portillo and Sanchez, is able to wear her curly short hair style completely away from her face. Her hair follows a high, rounded line to describe the forehead. Like some of the others, her celebrity short hair styles are authentic - what you see is what's really there.

Actress Gillian Anderson wears a short wavy hair style, but unlike Amy Lemons she needs to alter her face shape significantly. She keeps plenty of length at the front to disguise the hair line with twin upswept, outswept locks, using an off-center part to achieve a pseudo-symmetry away from the real center of her forehead.

Bette Midler's celebrity short hair style is a profile gives little evidence of her actual face shape. Her forehead is covered by blonde curly hair, curls conceal her ears, and the back of her hair tapers into a point.

Celebrity Short Hair Styles - Bottom Row

Two celebrity short hair styles in the bottom row are similar - the short wavy hair styles of actress Elisha Cuthbert and model Carolyn Murphy. Both hair styles leave the faces completely open, with hair swept up from the hair line at the forehead.

Carolyn Murphy's face is an oval and her hair needs only to crown it.

Elisha Cuthbert's face is gorgeous by any standards, but her forehead isn't quite high enough to round off into that oval shape. Hers is more a heart-shaped face. She adds height to it by boosting her hair, sweeping it back and up from the hair line, into a round profile that lends an overall oval shape to her face.

Cameron Diaz, far more noticeably than Elisha Cuthbert, has a heart-shaped face. In contrast to the lower half of her face, which tends towards the oval, her forehead is shortened by a low, straight hair line.

The celebrity short hair styles of Cameron Diaz require her to extend the apparent height of her face.

In this picture she does that by sweeping her hair up and back from the forehead, and she uses her hand to push it higher still, into a peak that echoes the shape of her chin.

The edge of her palm and little finger curve upwards and in to create an illusory line, the top edge of an oval that really isn't there. Her fingers, meanwhile, force some strands of hair up and back, disrupting and obscuring the straightness of her real hair line.

Her angle to the camera emphasizes the curves of her face rather than the flat planes and straight lines.

A lot of planning went into the making of this picture of Cameron Diaz. It's a good example of how celebrity short hair styles - like other types of celebrity hair style - are often manufactured for a specific photo shoot.

You might never see that celebrity woman wearing her short hair style anywhere outside that photo - in real life, in a movie, on television or anywhere.

Celebrity short hair styles were no less prone to cheating in the past.

Take Ann Sheridan, pictured first in the bottom row. The deliberate asymmetry of her short hair style cleverly conceals the underlying heart shape of her face. Like Cameron Diaz and Elisha Cuthbert, Sheridan was shorter in the upper part of her face than in the lower. Her hair line tapered upwards from the sides and then ran straight across the forehead.

But looking at her picture here, it would be hard to convince anyone that Sheridan's face was anything but an oval.

The last of the celebrity short hair styles on the bottom row belongs to Christele Saint Louis Augustin. Even at the extreme angle of this photo you can see that her face forms a natural diamond shape, shortened at the top by a low, straight hair line across the forehead.

This is a very curly hair style that uses striking highlights against a dark base to obscure the shape of the model's forehead and draw attention outwards at the side, away from the inward tapering hair line.

Celebrity Short Hair Styles - Conclusion

Some of these short haired, curly haired celebrities are well known everywhere, like Bette Midler and, harking back a few decades to the Second World War, Ann Sheridan.

Others are barely known outside Europe, like Minerva Portillo, Esther Arroyo, and beautiful French model Chrystele Saint Louis Augustin.

Yet celebrities they all are, and their ability to wear short hair styles says much about their natural beauty ... and much about the cleverness of the image-makers who surround them.
