Get a mess of curls looking its best with a short hairstyle. A cropped cut can shorten maintenance and keep hair healthy and strong. Short hairstyles for curly hair can create solutions for frizzy and dry hair types. Create a short and curly hairstyle with the help of a curling iron. Nourish your curly top with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and then style your hair to your choosing. - "Marie Claire" magazine suggests using a leave-in conditioner for tight curls to fight breakage and to moisturize locks. Use tight curls to your advantage by letting them free, keeping hair trimmed several inches off the head. Tight curls can have big volume, so grow bangs out to avoid hair dominating the face.
- Create a curly, side-swept style with a large barreled curing iron and a chic hair cut. Cut your hair at chin level, and part on the side, sweeping hair across one side of the forehead. Cut the bangs on an angle with the longest pieces grazing just past the lower lid of your eye. Use mousse or styling gel to keep bangs in place. Wind hair around in small sections of a hot curling iron to create a bouncy style.
- Trim your hair into a short bob with longer pieces in front and shorter layers in the back. Divide hair into a loose part down a side or in the center of the crown with a comb. Wet the hair and trim at jaw or cheekbone level. Cut hair in small sections as hair hangs down longer wet and shortens when dry. Pouf your curls by blow drying or use a diffuser to create added volume.
- For a wash-and-wear look, crop curls close to the head to create a pixie hairstyle. Trim medium tight curls a few inches from the root to let hair frame the face. Mix together leave-in conditioner and a strong hair gel and scrunch through curls. Pull a wide tooth comb through the hair and let it air dry. The products will keep curls in place, and air-drying hair will prevent split ends and a frizzy look.
