1. Textured Pixie Cuts

When it comes to styling your hair type, a pixie cut that’s loaded with texture is the perfect formula. According to Bailey Pope, a stylist at Unilever: “You can get away with frizz on a short pixie haircut.” When it comes to styling “you’re focusing on adding texture by way of texturizing hair products to create more intentional texture,” she explains.

2. Bob or Lob Haircuts with Subtle Layers

For bob or lob hairstyles, you’ll want to scale back on the amount of layers added. While layers do add more movement to the cut, it may work against the look you’re going for. “The less layering, the better,” Pope suggests. Too much layering can cause your hairstyle to look like frizz is everywhere.

3. Wavy Shag Cuts

This short and shaggy cut looks even better when it’s styled with loads of texture. Lucky for you, you don’t need much help in that department but you could use a product like TRESemmé Make Waves Defining Cream to help define your look. Consider this look as your ideal cut for frizzy short hair if you’re in the mood for a trendy hairdo. To style, all you need is a simple wash and go routine and you’re set.

4. Short Natural Hair Crops

Whatever natural hair texture you have, one of the best short haircuts for curly frizzy hair is this low crop. Consider asking your stylist to focus on giving you a cut with a shape that complements your face frame. When styling, forget about the heat styling tools and opt for air-drying to achieve and embrace your natural texture. If you need a bit of volume on your short frizzy hair, by all means, go in with a blowdryer to lift the roots of your hair which will create some serious height.
