Curly hair looks breathtaking when worn short. Its unique sculptural qualities make it easy to style into various cuts and styles. Men can opt for a faded haircut with closely shaven sides and an entire top of gorgeous curls to draw attention. This accentuates their jawline and cheekbones while showing off their unique texture.
The Bowl Cut
This cut is ideal for anyone ready to step outside the traditional bowl hairstyle and try something different. It features longer top layers and cropped, darker under layers for added dimension. Finish off the look by adding subtle highlights for extra lightness – and you’re good to go! Mushroom cuts (known as bowl cuts) are ideal for thick wavy locks and creating the iconic David Bowie or Timothee Chalamet look. Pair them with handlebar mustaches and aviator sunglasses to complete the style. Use texture gel as needed to customize this style. They also pair nicely with mid-fade haircuts, contrasting with the thicker top sections.
The Pixie
If you think super short pixies cannot reflect femininity, this eye-catching beauty will change your mind! Her stunning icy blonde tomboy pixie shows how modern looks can be created using different hues and textures. Her sides have been neatly shaved to provide contrast with the long top styled in an undone manner, creating an interesting juxtaposition. Curly pixie cuts can add volume to thin locks by making waves in their locks. Staggered layers in this lively style fall like bangs to frame this stunning face beautifully. If you want to maintain the fresh look of your pixie cut, add highlights. Not only will they enliven your appearance, but they will also extend the color’s lifespan and help it last longer.
The Shag
The shag is an adaptable hairstyle suitable for women of nearly every hair texture. It is ideal for older women dealing with thinning locks as it adds volume. The shag can be styled using volumizing mousse or simply left to air dry naturally. Shag hairstyles with face-framing layers are an excellent choice for those with petite faces or anyone seeking added femininity. This look can also be worn with a low fade for those looking for something less feminine. Dip dye coloring techniques add depth and grunge flair to a shag’s choppy, layered finish, transforming its appearance. For optimal results, medium or longer hair is best as it creates the full impact of the look.
The Undercut
An undercut is an unconventional variation of traditional men’s haircuts. It features short sides and back hair and long locks on top. While this striking style might initially seem intimidating, it’s very flexible and straightforward. The undercut is ideal for displaying one’s fierce side without giving up the length. Those with textured locks may benefit from having one, as it reduces frizz and makes their locks easier to manage. Regular upkeep is required to keep an undercut looking sharp. It may not be ideal for those with fine or thin hair as it doesn’t mask regrowth as effectively as some styles.
The Bangs
Bangs are one of the simplest ways to reinvent your look without committing to a full haircut. They add personality, frame your face beautifully, and look breathtaking in various styles – whether straight across, curly or wavy, or side-swept and layered. There are so many bang hairstyles you can experiment with! Side-swept bangs can help create an airy and feminine aesthetic, such as Halle Berry’s short crop with side-swept bangs and swept-over fringe that frames it perfectly. Layered bangs are composed of multiple layers cut at different lengths that blend seamlessly together for an appealing appearance. Curly and wavy hair textures work particularly well in creating movement within this style.
