So, if you have decided to chop off your long curls, here are some ways of maintaining and styling them:
1. Short curly hair will look messy and more frizzy. So, you need to moisture it regularly with conditioners, leave-in conditioners that are especially made for curly hair and also serums
2. In order to avoid dull and frizzy looking curly hair, shampoo less often as much as possible
3. Try cutting some bangs with your short curly hair style. Bangs should reach the eyebrows in length and not shorter in length. This will help give some dimension to the face and won’t look like a bush all together
4. Short curly hair can also be made to look clean with a bun that’s tied up the head leaving the bangs to fall on the forehead. Believe me, nothing is sexier than this!
