Curly hair needs lots of love and attention to keep it looking nice, and if you’ve got short curly red hair things are a little different. Short hair can’t be piled up in an updo on a bad hair day. Here are some tips for caring for your short, curly red hair:
1. Get the right cut
The first step to getting gorgeous, easy-to-manage curly hair is the right hair cut. If you get a cut that’s really meant for your curl pattern, you will have a lot more luck styling it. The best tip is to find a hairdresser who specializes in curly cuts or work with your current stylist to get the right cut perfected.
2. Avoid heat
Heat causes frizz and curly hair is already prone to enough frizz as it is. Instead of tackling your mane with heat, try air drying it or using a diffuser on your hair dryer on a low heat setting to help with dry time.
3. Use the right products
Not all hair products work for all hair types. Make sure you’re using products that are meant for curly hair and will add moisture without weighing your curls down. You also want to make sure you have products that will help to fight frizz like a good leave-in conditioner; and products that will help to define your curls like curl cream, gel, and mousse.

4. Stick to a comb
Hair brushes and curly hair don’t mix, so stick to a comb. The best time to brush curly hair is when you’re in the shower, but if you need to touch it up or remove tangles and it’s not on wash day, a wide tooth comb will be your best friend.
5. Protect hair at night
Unlike long curly hair, short curly hair can be hard to manage at night. Protect your hair while you sleep by using a silk or satin pillowcase, and wearing a protective hair covering.
6. Reset with water
One of the pros of short curly hair is you can easily reset it with water and a little dry time. Instead of fighting with your curls and potentially damaging them, just add a little water and product to reset your style.
