Curly Short Hair Styles

Curly short hair styles are a stylish way to show off those curls. Naturally curly hair can be a little difficult to control, although most people think that if you have curly hair you have it made. It is true that curly hair is forgiving unlike straight hair where every oops is noticeable. Still curly hair requires work.

A good haircut will follow the natural pattern of curl. The hair should be cut with the pattern not against it. A good choice for short curly hair is a layered cut, following the natural hair pattern. Weight is a curly short hair styles enemy, it weighs the curl down pulling the curl out of it. A layered cut will distribute the weight of the hair and keep those curls bouncy and alive.

To keep that bouncy look with any of the curly short hair styles going gently blow dry with a diffuser attached to the blow dryer, or better yet avoid the heat and let hair naturally dry. To keep your curls avoid shampooing more than once or twice a week. Hair curls because of the way sulfides (proteins) bond in the hair, ph in shampoo breaks those bonds and can leave hair limp.

Going from curly top to glam is relatively easy once you get those curls in shape and give them a little direction with the right cut. Take care of those curls and they will reward you greatly, through cooperation. A visit to the hairdresser should be scheduled for once every six weeks to keep the hairstyle in good shape, avoid harsh chemical treatments, take it easy on the hair products (don’t want to weigh those curls down) and have fun with your new short curly hair.
