Curly Hair Cut Short

On this page we have fifteen pictures of women with short curly hair cuts. Some of these women have names you might know - Kylie Bax, Karen Elson, Milla Jovovich, Charlize Theron.

That's not really important.

Their particular value here is not their celebrity status at all. Rather, they just happen to be modeling the sort of hair styles we're interested in - short curly hair cuts.

You may have reached this page because you're thinking of getting your curly hair cut short. You want it still to be curly, and you're wondering how it will look.

But you don't have to be having just curly hair cut. You might be interested in a short curly hair cut even though you don't have naturally curly hair.

Whatever your situation, hopefully the short curly hair styles and cuts worn in these pictures will help you to form an idea of how short curly hair might work for you.

Short curly haircuts can be spiky, cool, funky, soft and feminine, wavy, tousled and sexy.

The effect depends on how you style it, of course, but also on things like how short you actually get your hair cut, the specific curly texture of your hair - is it tightly curled, for instance, or more wavy ...

Before you get your curly hair cut short - but no, this applies to anyone, curly or straight ...

Before you take the plunge and get any kind of short hair style, you need to know this.

Short hair doesn't suit everyone.

Curly, kinky, wavy or straight, you need to establish whether a short hair cut will work for you.

Answering that question before you get your hair cut short might seem difficult, but it's essential if you want to be happy with your hair.

One way to answer that question safely - and I don't think there's a better way - is to use the free face shape wizard at this brilliant website.

Try it out. If short hair's for you then go for it.

Now if your hair IS naturally curly, AND you're thinking of getting your curly hair cut short, there's one hard, cold, cruel reality of life you have to understand before you do anything drastic.

Not all stylists know how to cut curly hair.

If you place your natural curly hair in the hands of someone who doesn't understand curls, you're risking a bad hair cut and everything that goes with it.

Above all, don't let them wash your hair first and try to cut it wet, the way they do with straight hair.

If you get your curly hair cut short when it's wet, then by the time it's dry it will be a lot shorter than you asked for.

You'll be angry, disappointed and upset.

Do what you have to to find a curly stylist. Ask around. If a stranger's curly hair looks wonderful, ask her who does her hair. Chances are she's already done the research for you and located the perfect stylist.

She won't mind you asking. The fact that you are is a compliment. It means her hair looks great and she'll be pleased, and happy to help.

A stylist who understands curly hair should be able to advise you on the behaviour to expect from your curls after you've had your curly hair cut short.

Curly or not, good luck with your short curly hair cut. If you've tried that face shape wizard you should know by now if short hair will suit you.

I hope the pictures on this page give you some ideas.
