The idea with curly hair is to get it under control and nothing does that better than a short little crop. Keep the sides close, graduate the back and use the longer top for styling options.

Moderately curly hair comes to life with a cut that features lots of layers. To add shape, get the back graduated or tapered, then let the top explode in curls. Here, a strong exterior makes interior curls fall right into place.

For a more controlled look, roller set the top; for soft, full wave; lift sections with your fingers as you blowdry. Experimenting with products and styling techniques lets you have anything from waves to tight curls. You can also enhance the top movement with highlights.
