13 Best Haircuts for Curly HairPut down the flat iron. Follow these expert tips for getting a great curly haircut that will work for — not against — your waves |

Why the cut works: As with a curly pixie cut, Francis notes that this short style offers a lower-maintenance alternative for curly hair — making it one of the best curly haircuts around, in our book. As he puts it, "They're flirty, feminine and have a flattering shape that really makes the eyes stand out."
Step 1: Once again, Francis recommends prepping clean hair with a styling spray and salt spray to help add texture and shine.
Step 2: Style and shape hair to liking with hands.
Step 3: Scrunch a leave-in cream (like MoroccanOil Curl Defining Cream, $13) into your curls.
Step 4: You can either air dry, or blow dry with a diffuser to further define your curl pattern.

Most of these women don't even have curly hair...it's just wavy or has obviously been heat styled and isn't naturally curly. The cuts are good suggestions though.

Great advice. My hair's a mix of curly and wavy, as well as medium and coarse textures. It can be complicated, but once I learned how to style it, it's become my best asset!

The women in photos do not do their hair. Stylists have told me it is hard for most people to to blow dry hair to make it look great. Ones has curly hair and to do it straight takes her long time. Wonder what they look like on their days off. When their hair is not professionally styled.

I love AnnaLynne McCord's hair. I have curly/wavy hair and my hair is in layers. It gives volume and it's more manageable
