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.

This stunning actress looks fabulous with this short layer cut. This is an excellent low maintenance design for making the most of natural curls or artificial ones.
