Side parted short curly hairstyles with bangs produce a bouncy form that elevates the springiness of your curly short strands. Neatly arranged but in all sorts of funky and wild!
#2: Loose Blonde Curly Hairstyle
Currently, a loose blonde curly hairstyle is trendy for textured strands. Consider this style if you’re going for a round and full look with a halo of curls. Cutting layers around your head will enhance the texture and create an enjoyable hairstyle. I recommend drying with a diffuser for maximum volume. If you adore the blonde color and its additional dimension, try adding some highlights to brighten your shade.
#3: Shoulder-Length Rezo-Cut Curls
Increase your volume with shoulder-length rezo-cut curls. A rezo-cut has many benefits. It increases root volume and body. It creates a balanced look around the head. Also, it maintains the length of your hair. Look for a skilled hairstylist who is an expert in this excellent technique. You’ll appreciate your natural texture even more. Remember that a Rezo-cut is expensive as you pay for the hairstylist’s expertise in the field.
#4: Perfectly Shaped Curly Bob
Keep your curly bob in good shape with regular care. Use a wash regimen with a mask twice a week and put a leave-in conditioner on your hair every day. Do you want curls that are full and bouncy? Use Mizani’s Curl Foam. For a sleek look, try a cream gel. Apply it from your roots to the ends and use a microfiber towel to remove any extra moisture and product.
#5: Rezo-Inspired Curls and Bangs
At your next salon visit, consider getting curls and bangs inspired by Rezo. A Rezo cut is perfect for people who may want to straighten their hair as the layers are even all around. The even layers in a Rezo cut will bring bouncy volume from the root of your curls. Let your hair flow freely with a stylish yet easy-to-manage cut. I suggest using L’Oréal’s Curl Expression line and a diffuser on low heat to perfect your curls. This combination will give you stand-out, well-defined curls.
#6: Fun Short Curls with Bangs
Style your curly hair into ringlets and transform them into short curls with bangs for a fun look. Adding layers to your curls will give a voluminous shape, in line with the latest trends. A rounded shape with a cute fringe will be your aim. Always remember, curly hair has a tendency to shrink up, so sometimes using less hair product can give better results. Go easy on your hair while shaping it and try to have your bangs reach the nose when wet. For added volume and curl definition, diffuse your cut on low heat using a high-quality curl product.
#7: Cherry Red Curly Hair with Fringe
Consider cherry red curly hair with a fringe if you want to add some pop to your style. Adding bright color and more layers to your hairdo will make you look youthful. Ask for square layers around the head to create a shape that gives more volume. Bangs are a great choice to balance your features but leave them long to account for hair’s tendency to shrink when dry. To add extra volume, you can air dry or use a diffuser but don’t forget to apply your curl products.
#8: Auburn Highlights for Curly Hair
Auburn highlights in your curly hair with bangs add warmth and depth. Women with thick curls might prefer this low-maintenance, stylish cut. Auburn highlights complement your curls and enhance volume and texture without shifting the focus from your style.
#9: Cool Curly Bob with Fringe
Consider a cool curly bob with fringe as your next haircut. Ask for shorter rounded layers to create more volume in your shape. If you have a long or oval face, this cut will be very complimentary. When styling your curly bob, air drying will work well, or try diffusing it for extra volume.

Ask about rounded layers to boost the fullness of your cut and let your curl live free. If you want extra fluff, use a diffuser to dry your hair. You’ll love the way this cut compliments your features.
#11: Wild Copper Curls
Amp up your style in wild copper curls. The number one recommendation I can give you to achieve wild curls is adding layers to your shape. Adding medium layers to your chin-length hair eliminates weight. This lets your curls fly free. An added fringe is great for framing your face and opening your eyes. Diffuse your ringlets with L’Oréal’s 10-In-1 Professional Crème-In-Mousse. It’s great for volume and shine.
#12: High Volume-Shaped Curls with Fringe
High volume-shaped curls with a fringe are a rounded style with lots of personality. This shape is great for long or narrow faces, giving width for a beautiful balance. If you love the full shape, you will need graduated layers. Start around the roll of the head and at a lip-length bottom perimeter. Apply moisturizing curl cream to your ringlets and air dry, or diffuse thicker hair on very low heat.
#13: Curly Fringe on a Curly Short Bob Cut
A great way to rock a unique style for ladies over 60 is with a curly short bob. To get the most out of your cut, go for a curly fringe that will give you the added volume and texture you’d like. To make sure your fringe looks perfect, use a curling iron instead of a flat iron to give you those perfect spirals. If you have time, use a serum on your fringe to make it look glossy and healthy. This will give you the perfect mix of style and practicality, and you’ll be sure to feel confident in your new look!

Shoulder-length curls with bangs are a smart choice for women over 60. Your hair density, or the number of strands on your head, can decline as you get older.
