Yahoo Lifestyle Presenting, 15 short curly hairstyles that are worthy of a big chop
Been debating a major haircut and in need of some short curly hairstyles inspo? You’ve come to the right place to browse a ton of ideas.
Because the truth is that all types of textured hair look super chic when worn short, be it in a layered pixie cut, a short bob or a teeny weeny Afro. The only thing you need to remember is that short styles need frequent trims to stay, well, short – so you have to be committed to those hairdresser visits. If you're someone that prefers a low maintenance kinda style, maybe just a lil curly hair styling refresher is what you need instead.
Whether you’re thinking about cutting longer curls a bit shorter, doing a big chop or your curls/coils are around short and you just need a little style switch up, we’ve scoured the celebrity archives to find a range of examples on different curl types to give you that much-needed inspo. Here are 15 short curly hairstyles to help you visualise a new look…
Halle Berry
Halle Berry has worn her curls in everything from a pixie to a long bob, and we love this asymmetric shorter bob on her.
Jodie Turner-Smith
Here, the gorgeous Jodie Turner Smith wears her natural Afro fairly short and it SO suits her bone structure. (We’re also low key obsessed with that green liner.)
Ruth Negga
Ruth Negga’s curls are super defined in this shorter bob-length cut that perfectly shapes her face.
America Ferrera
HOW good do these choppy waves look on America Ferrera’s long, layered bob.
Lupita Nyong’o
We love the deep side part on Lupita Nyong’o’s shorter Afro here.
Julia Garner
A longtime curly pixie cut wearer, here, Julia Garner sweeps her curls to one side with this partially slicked back style.
Rihanna
We love Ri Ri’s short coily pixie cut here. She wore this look to an event celebrating Fenty Hair so no doubt some of her products were used to create the look.
Cynthia Erivo
We are so used to seeing Cynthia's completely shaven head or her Wicked micro braids we forget she rocked this stunning bleached blonde TWA.
Audrey Tautou
Audrey Tautou’s ultra thick layered pixie cut is serious French girl vibes.
Viola Davis
We love the height and volume of this short and coily style on Viola Davis.
Michaela Coe
Another great example of a TWA – AKA teeny weeny Afro – on Michaela Coel.
Solange
We are seriously into this curly blonde moment on the gorgeous, and frankly hair chameleon, Solange Knowles.
Meagan Good
Proof of just how chic a layered pixie can be on Meagan Good. We love.
Jourdan Dunn
Nothing to see here, just a super strong case for the wet look wavy bob on Jourdan Dunn.
Amandla Stenberg
Just look at these gorgeous defined curls on Amandla Stenberg– the copper hue just makes the look even better.
