Formal Short Curly Hairstyles

A formal short curly hairstyle can be described as tailored, structured, elegant, and classic looking. It's the kind of hairstyle you'd wear to a formal occasion such as a wedding, prom, classy dinner party. These hairstyles can vary from top-heavy looks with tapered back and sides, to short uniform layers. Formal short curly hairstyles take a small amount of time to create. They are generally designed using rollers, styling products and heat appliances such as curling irons. These hairstyles are a great way to soften and dress up short hair types for any formal occasion. Curls that are uniform in shape and diameter typically have a more formal look about them too.

Piper Perabo Hairstyle

Piper Perabo looked like she stepped out of a scene from Star Wars when she arrived at The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the opening of the new show "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy." Her upstyle recalled Princess Laya's famous side buns- the only difference being that Piper opted for a curly look instead. Let's hope this is the last time she wears this hairdo.
