Short Hair Styles for Curly Hair

Short hair styles for curly hair can have a lot of attitude. Why is that? Maybe the answers in these pictures.

It's debatable whether it comes from the short curly hair itself or the body language that goes with it. They work as a team.

Perhaps the attitude comes first and a girl chooses the curly, short hair style because it matches the attitude so well. The hand on the hip, the tilt of the head. Natural selection.

A tousled short curly hair style with volume is particularly loaded with potential attitude. Its movement highlights that challenging angle of the head, perhaps, and the look becomes so much more uncompromising.

Of course, it's not always about attitude.

Short curly hair styles can be glamorous, too, and cute and cheeky - well, I guess that's attitude, but it's coming from a different direction.

Or for some, short curly hair styles can be just plain pretty.

Some hair styles end up serving the purposes of high fashion, and that certainly goes for short curly hair. Strange colours and outlandish make up combine in a parody of beauty that catches the eye but isn't really rewarding.

Instead, the viewer faces a vaguely disquieting search for the elements that would make the image attractive under different circumstances.

The pale features of Karen Elson, in particular, seem to inspire the dark side of fashion design. Something about her lends itself to this bizarre use of cosmetics and short curly hairstyles.

First she's just a girl with oomph and attitude to spare, her short red curly hair tousled on a windswept beach.

Then she's a pale, thin waif, her eyes and gestures implying injury.

She takes short hair styles for curly hair from one extreme to the other. A regular girl one moment, beauty's shipwreck the next. Glamour's damaged goods.

It's one of those "Don't try this at home!" moments.

Leave that waif thing to the professionals. It's all done with make up and mirrors and it isn't real.

Healthy, happy people can have shortcurly hair styles too. That's REAL beauty. And it is rewarding for the viewer.
