Finding a curly hair short style woman is difficult, and with good reason.

According to Lorraine Massey, not only is every head of curly hair different, but each curl on every head is different from all the others.

Massey is a pioneer in the informed care, cutting and styling of natural curly hair. She devotes a chapter of her book Curly Girl to the subject of how she cuts curly hair and manages a session with a curly haired client.

It's not a simple process.

It's small wonder that most curly women - and curly men, for that matter - find it so hard to locate a hair stylist who knows anything about cutting curly hair at all, let alone the sub-categories like long curly hair or medium or, most risky of all, short curly hairstyles for women.

Cutting and styling curly hair is a specialized field with few practitioners. And if Massey's information on the virtual absence of training in curly hair cuts remains current, the situation isn't going to improve any time soon.

To quote her directly:

"I've yet to attend a hairdressing workshop in the United States that offered instructions on understanding and cutting curly hair, and I've seen very few curly-haired models participating in hairdressing seminars or classes."

Has much changed since 2001, when she wrote those words?

Not from a look at the hair style magazines. Even those published in the United Kingdom, where according to Massey the training in hair cut techniques is "more comprehensive", it's rare to come upon a picture of a woman with naturally curly hair, cut and styled in a way that shows off her hair's natural texture.

And that's in any length - least of all something like curly hair short style woman!

Is it possible that virtually the entire hair cut industry is frozen at a Kindergarten skill level, where they can only cut in straight lines and the teacher has to help them with circles?

If that's the case it's very sad, because the teachers in charge of these pupils can't cut curved shapes themselves.

It's a straight world.

The utterly unique nature of every curl means that, even if you can find pictures of curly hair cuts in magazines or salon style books - and it's a rare day when you can! - the images might not be of great benefit because your curls and everyone else's are so different from those of the model.

And curly hair short style woman is a particularly difficult category.

Why?

Curly hair has to find its own natural length which, in Massey's words, is "that point where your curls flatter your face and fall gracefully." That point varies for every woman.

While it's certainly possible for short and very short curly hair to look wonderful, it's more likely that it will take a bit of length for your hair to develop its real, natural, inner shape.

Nevertheless, assembled below is a gallery of pictures of hair styles in the category of curly hair short style woman.

Yes, the range of curls is broad and the models are not you. Your curls are different. But you're looking for hair style ideas, after all.

You're not trying to identify the definitive image of your next curly hair cut, the one true curly hair short style woman that you'll be wearing when you skip happily out of the salon after your next visit.

(Of course, we hope you do skip happily out of the salon after your next visit whether you've chosen a curly hair short style woman or curly hair long style woman or curly hair medium style woman or ... whatever.)

Pictures can be useful, even if all they do is suggest something you can make further enquiries about with your stylist.
