23 Short Curly Haircuts to Screenshot for Your Next Salon Appointment
By Sarah Jenkins
The classic Parisian crop has adapted seamlessly for waves and curls. The French bob texture sits dramatically high, grazing the corner of the mouth or the chin line, paired with wispy, cheek-skimming tendrils. Unlike straight bobs that rely on razor-sharp horizontal perimeters, the curly French bob uses interior texturizing to create movement around the jaw.
Pairing this shape with a textured bob with bangs eliminates the dreaded "curtain" of heavy hair that overwhelms smaller faces. Curly bangs are cut curl-by-curl, resting right at the eyebrow bridge when dry. As the hair springs up, the fringe separates into soft ribbons that frame the eyes.
This cut thrives on air-drying. When curls are cut to complement the natural bend rather than resist it, you need only a dime-sized amount of lightweight curl cream to keep the silhouette polished and deliberate.
