Here are 5 short hairstyles from German Cosmopolitan designed specifically for curly hair – practical, chic, and totally summer-ready!
Classic Curly Bob
The classic bob is a timeless favorite – and for good reason! In its curly form, it feels lively and playful while staying super easy to manage. Usually cut at or just above the jawline, it beautifully frames your face. This style can be soft or bold, depending on how you shape it.
Styling tips:
- Enhance and unify your natural waves with a bit of curl cream.
- For extra volume, dry your hair leaning forward with a diffuser – it makes your curls look fuller.
Curly Pixie
Short, even shorter – pixie! And yes, it works beautifully with curls too! The pixie cut comes alive with natural curls, adding incredible volume while highlighting your facial features for a striking look. Depending on your hair’s texture, it can be soft waves or wild, spiral curls.
Styling tips:
- A little hair mousse lifts and defines curls, giving hold and texture.
- A side part adds a playful, effortless vibe to your hairstyle.
Shag Hairstyle for Curly Hair
The shag style is back in fashion and perfect for curly hair. Its layered cut adds tons of movement and lightness, and it looks amazing paired with curly bangs. It’s playful, youthful, and totally unique.
Styling tips:
- A touch of sea salt spray highlights natural texture and creates a relaxed, carefree look.
- Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to shape layers, avoiding brushes to keep curls intact.
Curly Bowl Cut
For something truly bold and eye-catching, try the curly bowl cut! Once a classic for straight hair, this style now shines with curls. The shape stays sharp, while the texture, movement, and volume give it a modern, futuristic edge.
Styling tips:
- Work a bit of curl cream or defining product into damp hair.
- Dry with a diffuser, then shape with your fingers for a standout, unique look!
Long Curly Bob
Last but not least, if you’re not ready to go super short but want something fresh and new, the long bob – or “lob” – is the perfect choice. Shoulder-length hits the sweet spot between short and long. Combined with natural curls, it looks stunning and requires almost no extra styling. But with a few tricks, you can easily achieve a fabulous finish!
Styling tips:
- A quality leave-in conditioner keeps hair hydrated and curls shiny.
- For a little flair, add a trendy headband or scarf – simple but striking!
