#3: Brunette Pixie with Curls and Sideburns
Show off your curls with a brunette pixie with sideburns. A short pixie is one of the best cuts to bring your curls to life. Cutting excess weight and length will be great at making your tresses look even curlier. So, be ready to show off your spirals. In my professional opinion, I would almost always cut curly hair dry to ensure I know the length I am cutting. Wet hair can stretch and when your hair dries, can shrink up to an undesired length.

#6: The Curly Undercut Pixie
This is a great curly pixie undercut because it takes the sides incredibly short but blends the top in a way to keep the silhouette soft.It can sometimes be a challenge with how long to keep the curls on top, so it stays tight enough to keep the shape but long enough to have the freedom to style an undercut for curly hair. You have to get your hair cut far more often than when your hair is longer, so factor that into your budget and time. If your hair is less curly on top, you would need to get reshaped much more often.
Face shape plays a huge role in styling short cuts. For example, if you have a round face, styling to give yourself more height is helpful unless your goal is to accentuate that round shape.
