Let’s Talk Curly Haircuts

It’s the same old story with curly girls. We get so bored with our hair we could scream. Cute short hair beckons. But finding the courage (and the stylist) to pull it off, well, that scares us to death!

Understandable dilemma.

I too was tired of trying to look sexy. Cute sounded good. But short curly hair is off the charts unpredictable.

Actually there’s not a lot I can say about curly haircuts other than that. Because curly hair is, well, curly hair. Beyond that you simply want it cut correctly so it behaves and lays right.

As you know there is no one specific style that’s better than another here. But there are a few things to keep in mind.

For one, longer naturally curly haircuts are often layered. Reason being the lack of layers puts you on the fast track to triangle head. Which you don’t need.

Layers can also apply for shorter cuts though too. Like say a curly bob. A bit of layering can cut out some of the excess volume making it more easily managed at the same time.

Of course some would declare the bob as the best hair cut for curly hair as it’s got bounce, is light and low maintenance. Three appealing features. So it’s a fun, flirty carefree look. And don’t forget you’ll probably only need one box of color, it dries faster, and is easy to style. In other words what’s not to like?

Besides it’s flexible. Straightening it once or twice a week is good as long as you have a hot enough styling iron. Which gives you another styling option – even if it isn’t completely hassle free. Just do not ignore the need to use heat protectant products to prevent your hair from being fried.

Yet you may be mistaken for a walking cotton swab if your curly bob is cut wrong. Plus your curly locks may be too short for up hairstyles. And a pony tail may be problematic too. But headbands can still fill in nicely.

However you take these curly hair cutting tips, just don’t go too drastic when it comes to changes. Once your hair is cut short it’s short. Nothing can be done to change that anytime soon. But if you go easy with the scissors, the length can always be shortened more later.

And this much is certainly true. With curly hairstyle ideas, the right cut can take your curls from untamed or boring to absolutely awesome.
