How would you describe this?
This short haircut is a chin-length curly bob. Based on your head shape, ask your stylist if you can have a 90 degree haircut that adds lots of texture.

Use a cream-based curl defining product to soften and tame the frizz, and a light volumizing mousse to keep the curls in place and add volume.

Gorgeous Tight Curls

How would you describe this?
These tight ringlets are known as a sculpting dry cut. Look at the hair as a whole to create a round shape that gives it that volume at the top of the head and falls more into flattering round layers that frame the face.
Avoid pulling, brushing, and combing your curly hair. Ask your stylist to cut each curl where it wants to sit to create that shape.
This technique also works on shoulder-length hair that has tight curls or coils.
Style short curly hair by cleansing your hair with a non-lathering curl cleanser, and condition it with a clean water-soluble conditioner. Lastly, keep your dryer on a low, warm setting.
What’s your best advice?
Frizzy, dull hair is hair begging for moisture. NYC Curls by Carlos Flores and Curly World by Lorraine Massey are great products for short curly hairstyles. This cut suits all face shapes, and tight curls or coils carry this cut very well because of their fluffiness and bounciness.
Sleep on a satin pillowcase. Make your own curls refresher (filtered water, your favorite conditioner, and gel) and sprits your hair in the morning to produce bouncy curls.
