However, you can style this short curly hairstyle by following these steps below;

Always wash your hair; before doing anything, make sure you first wash your hair to remove all the dirt
Dry your hair using a blower and then apply a curl enhancing crème and gel to help soften your hair before making curls out of it.

Don’t Use a towel to dry your hair; get a cotton T-shirt because it will help to reduce frizz and getting better sculpted curls compared to a towel because it completely dries your hair and does not leave your moist leading to hair breakages.
Brush your hair using a wide tooth comb; if you always a brush then you should know that it can be very damaging to curly hair and it’s for this reason that I advise you to replace your brush with a comb but also that brush will help to make untangling easier.
Remember to have your hair trimmed; but you should not trim it until you need it to be trimmed because if you’re having short curls just know that your hair will continue growing but to keep it short you need to trim it but not regularly.
