People with oval face shapes have the ideal palette for a short, curly hairdo. This is because an oval has balance between the forehead and the chin, making it easy to add or subtract volume. When choosing your style, avoid any look that droops hair into your face. If you want bangs, keep them wispy and soft, making them a frame instead of a deterrent from your natural face shape. Adding volume to the top of your head paired with short bangs is a cute short look for curly hair.
If you don't want bangs, curly hair that is cut right at the ear with a side part looks nice. You won't need the added volume at the top of your head for this style. Avoid any cuts that alter the shape of your face; work with what you have for the most ideal look. - A heart-shaped face has a larger forehead and a small, pointed chin. This face type is short and wide, with a lot of width in the upper part of the face, so short, fluffy styles aren't recommended. A good short style is one without bangs and volume at the top of your head. The volume at the top helps balance out the face and make it look longer. Also, the lack of bangs makes your forehead look higher, thus giving your face a longer look.

A square-shaped face is defined by a strong, angled jaw. When choosing a hairstyle, the goal is to soften the jaw line by keeping the hair rounded. Adding wispy, side-parted bangs that fall softly to the brow also creates the illusion of a softer jaw. Parting your hair in the middle will only accentuate the squareness of your jaw.
If you want your curly hair very short and you have a square face, avoid close-cut sides and volume at the top of your head. Any style that has short sides on this face type will make your face look squarer. -
Having a round face paired with curly hair can be difficult, since the idea with round faces is to avoid full hair. People with round faces can rock a short, curly hairdo as long as they add volume to the top of their head and not the sides. Try keeping the sides closely cropped to your head while slowly getting longer through the top. Avoid bangs, since these will only make the face look shorter.
Also, parting your hair in the middle will create the illusion of a longer face. The more forehead you show with your style, the more flattering the short style.
