Because a curly hair short style leaves the lower half of your face exposed and frames only the upper half, many women simply can't adopt this style.
Ashley Judd is one woman who can. In fact she carries off just about any style of hair with ease.
The pictures here show her in a number of short curly hair styles, but she also appears on other pages in long curly hair cuts and medium length curls.
Charlize Theron is another celebrity who has success with one hair style after another. Notice, though, that with short styles she tends to keep some hair down behind the nape of her neck, to balance the line of her cute but pointy chin.
Delta Goodrem, Kate Hudson and Julia Ormond keep their short curly hair style a bit longer at the back, too.
But Kate Beckinsale, with her oval face and more rounded chin, wears a curly hair short style lengthened only by loose dark strands that echo the sweeping line of her brows.
As for Bridget Moynahan, seen here in one nicely tousled short curly hair style, anyone who saw I, Robot will be left in no doubt about the power of a hair cut. As her relationship with Will Smith changed through the movie, so did her hair style. It never became a short style, but the evolution was dramatic.
The face shapes best suited to short hair cuts are diamond shaped and oval. If you're lucky enough to have an oval face then not only can you wear a short curly hair style, but the entire world of hair cuts and hair styles is wide open to you. Just about every hair style suits an oval.
Diamond shaped faces have a lot of scope, too, as most hair styles will suit them. But a short style only works with diamond faces if the angle of your jaw line is not too sharp.
If the line from your cheekbones to your chin is very dramatic then, like Delta Goodrem, Charlize Theron and Julia Ormond, you'll want to leave some hair showing at the nape of your neck to balance the overall shape of your curly hair short style.
