Thinking about cutting your curly hair short? Spring is the best time for a change. If you're afraid of saying goodbye to your long hair, you should know that a short haircut can, on the contrary, emphasize your natural curls, returning them elasticity and mobility, which are often lost after months (or even years) of investment.
Seven of the most relevant options for spring 2026
Clear curly bob
Neat, graphic, and sophisticated, this option has a flawless look. The curly bob is easy to style, and it looks especially impressive with a subtle but distinct layer in the front or in the version of one length all the way around.

Ulla Johnson
Short tomboy crop with curls
A super short haircut with character. Made in a round shape, it beautifully frames the face, and the bangs to the eyebrow line add a light bohemian mood.

Elongated pixie
For those who aren't ready for the shortest pixie cut, it's a good idea to leave some length. The curls can fall just below the eyes in the front and delicately cover the neck in the back. This adds softness to the look.
Zimmermann
Classic curly pixie
A short, elegant and extremely feminine haircut that highlights the texture of even very short curls. In addition, it is easy to maintain and does not require complex styling.

Wolf cut
The wolf cut is a combination of a shag and a mullet. “The wolf cut balances between sass and softness. The hair has a casual look, not too carefully laid out,” says celebrity hairstylist Charlotte Mensah.
Chloe
Shoulder-length voluminous haircut
If you don't feel like making drastic changes yet, you should pay attention to the trendy medium length. It allows you to emphasize volume as much as possible, but at the same time leaves the opportunity to gather your hair into a hairstyle.

Elegant short haircut
For women in their 50s and 60s with curly hair, a short haircut can be not only practical but also very elegant. Hair often becomes thinner with age, so a light layered cut helps to visually add volume and structure.

Spring is the perfect season to update your look, and a short haircut can be the best solution to emphasize the natural beauty of your curls.
