People oftentimes say individuals with curly hair can’t have pixie cuts. For fear of it turning into a frizzy mess that looks like you put a tiny poodle on your head. Except that isn’t the case. The haircut below is a perfect pixie because it isn’t working against your natural curls. It’s actually a pretty long pixie cut, all things considered. It’s long enough to where you’ll be able to control your curls. Plus the way it’s cut will ensure that when it starts to grow out it won’t look wonky or weird in any way.
Another look people with curly hair is told to stay away from are bangs. While your bangs won’t be a blunt cut like Zooey Deschanel that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy them.

Lobs are definitely in. This look is great because it frames your face and the blunt cut at the bottom really brings out how nice curly hair can fall.

This is another daring pixie cut. Shave just the back of your hair and leave the top of your head long. The shaved back of your neck will be a stark contrast to the rest of your curly hair.
Similar to the lob a curly haired bob plays around even more with texture. This one is cute because it really lets your curly hair do whatever it wants. You can flip it or leave it in a slightly middle part. This haircut would be great for someone who has curly hair but it isn’t incredibly heavy curls.

The 80s might have been a scary time when people would over tease their hair and use way too much hairspray. But there were also people who would have the most amazing curls and the best hair flip. This haircut emulates that. It’s incredibly texture, with really short pieces on top and in heavier in the middle part of the hair, getting thinner at the bottom. This is a cut made by someone who knows curly hair. It’s designed to evenly distribute the weight of the hair but still keeping the length.
