Chin-length coils, rounded afros, and tapered ringlets are the looks behind the search ‘crochet hairstyles short curly.’ Each gets its shape from crochet extensions, so you can choose a soft bob silhouette or a closer crop without relying on long lengths.
The ideas below focus on details you can actually see: the part, curl size, cut line, and color placement. You’ll also find braided and faux-loc variations that keep the finish short while leaving curls visible.
Chin-length curly crochet bob
The Chin-length curly crochet bob features defined, medium-sized black ringlets falling around the jawline, with a rounded perimeter and compact volume through the sides and crown. A narrow, discreet part sits above the brow, while individual curls frame the cheeks and the shorter back leaves the neck exposed. This style works well with crochet hair extensions, requiring gentle finger separation to preserve the ringlet pattern.
Rounded afro crochet curls
Rounded afro crochet curls feature densely packed, small kinky coils forming a short, dome-shaped silhouette, with the fullest volume concentrated around the temples and upper sides. The tightly coiled strands create a curved outline above the ears, while the ends remain well clear of the shoulders and the hairline blends into the surrounding curls. This style works best with crochet extensions that closely match the wearer’s existing coil pattern.
Short tapered crochet pixie curls
Short tapered crochet pixie curls feature tiny, closely packed coils around the nape and above the ears, transitioning into longer, defined spirals across the crown. The raised top creates a rounded silhouette with noticeable height, while a few curls fall toward the forehead and the tapered sides remain close to the head. This style works best with lightweight crochet curls, using gentle finger separation to maintain definition and crown volume.
Deep side-part crochet curly bob
The Deep side-part crochet curly bob features glossy black ringlets falling just below the chin on both sides, with a sharply defined part positioned well away from the center. Curls sweep across the forehead in a raised arc above one eyebrow, creating fuller volume on one side without a separate fringe. This style needs a clearly maintained side part to preserve its lifted, asymmetrical silhouette.
Middle-part short crochet curly bob
The Middle-part short crochet curly bob features soft black ringlets falling to chin level, divided by a straight center part that leaves the forehead exposed. Both sides form balanced, rounded sections with compact crown volume, while a few shorter curls curve inward around the cheekbones to frame the face. This style works well with medium-sized crochet curls, using gentle finger separation to maintain the symmetrical shape and defined ringlets.
Layered short curly crochet bob
The Layered short curly crochet bob features shorter, defined coils framing the cheekbones, with longer, fuller ringlets extending toward the jawline. Staggered layers create a stepped silhouette through the sides, allowing individual curls to overlap at different heights rather than forming a dense, uniform bottom edge. This cut works particularly well with thick crochet hair, as the graduated lengths distribute volume across the sides instead of concentrating it at the ends.
Short crochet faux locs with curls
Short crochet faux locs with curls feature slim, individually wrapped strands falling around the jawline, with small, loose spirals extending from their ends. The locs form a rounded, chin-level silhouette, while the separated curly tips create an uneven lower edge and visible movement around the cheeks and neckline. This style works well with pre-looped crochet faux loc extensions that have curled ends, helping maintain consistent length and curl definition.
Short Gogo curl crochet bob
The Short Gogo curl crochet bob features closely packed, S-shaped loops falling around the jawline, with individual strands separated enough to reveal their springy curl pattern. Fullness extends through the sides and back, creating a rounded silhouette with a curved lower edge rather than the compact shape of a tightly coiled afro. This style works well with eight-inch Gogo curl crochet extensions, allowing for curl shrinkage when determining the finished length.
Short ocean wave crochet curls
Short ocean wave crochet curls feature broad, loose S-shaped ripples falling to the neckline, with gently curved ends that create movement along the lower edge. The crown sits relatively flat, while the sides form a relaxed, rounded silhouette with visible wave separation rather than tightly packed ringlets. This style works best with loose-wave crochet extensions, using gentle finger detangling to preserve the wave pattern and prevent frizz.
Jamaican bounce crochet ringlet bob
The Jamaican bounce crochet ringlet bob features firm, rounded corkscrew curls arranged in a short, jaw-length silhouette, with tighter spirals framing the cheeks and forehead. Fuller sections around the sides create a curved outline, while individual ringlets remain clearly separated instead of blending into a dense afro shape. This style works best with pre-curled Jamaican bounce crochet extensions, using gentle finger separation to preserve the corkscrew definition.
Tiny spiral curl crochet crop
The Tiny spiral curl crochet crop features densely arranged, pencil-width coils forming a short, rounded silhouette, with slightly longer spirals adding height across the crown. Closely cropped sides sit above the ears, while the individual coils create a defined surface and the ends stop well above the jawline. This style works best with small spiral crochet extensions, using gentle finger separation to maintain coil definition and compact volume.
Short crochet bob with curly bangs
The Short crochet bob with curly bangs features dark, defined spirals falling to chin length, with shorter curls forming a soft fringe across the forehead. Rounded volume extends through the sides, while individual ringlets curve inward around the cheeks, creating a compact silhouette with a clearly separated front section. This style works well with small-ringlet crochet extensions, using gentle finger separation to maintain the bangs and prevent the curls from clumping together.
Side cornrows with crochet curls
Side cornrows with crochet curls feature several narrow braids running backward above one ear, exposing neat scalp sections while loose, jaw-length ringlets fall across the opposite side. The braided section sits close to the head, creating an asymmetrical silhouette with concentrated volume around one cheek and fuller curls extending from the crown. Keeping the cornrow sections neat and separating the ringlets with your fingers helps maintain the contrast between both sides.
Curly crochet mohawk with tapered sides
The curly crochet mohawk with tapered sides features a narrow strip of springy coils extending from the forehead over the crown toward the nape, creating a raised, rounded center profile. Closely tapered sections above both ears keep the sides compact, while the longer curls add height without spreading into a full afro silhouette. Regular trimming around the ears helps maintain the contrast between the shorter sides and raised curls.
Shaved-side short curly crochet crop
The shaved-side short curly crochet crop features a closely buzzed panel above one ear, contrasting with a thick crown of medium-sized ringlets swept toward the opposite side. These curls create an asymmetrical silhouette, with rounded volume across the top and shorter ends stopping above the jawline rather than reaching the shoulders. Regular clipper touch-ups around the exposed ear help maintain the sharp contrast between the shaved section and fuller curls.
Fluffy kinky curly crochet bob
The fluffy kinky curly crochet bob features densely packed, pencil-sized coils gently separated into a rounded, jaw-length shape, with an uneven lower edge and less visible ringlet definition than a set curl style. Volume spreads across the crown, sides, and back, creating an airy outline with a matte finish and tightly curled strands. Light finger fluffing at the roots helps maintain fullness without separating the coils too much.
Honey-brown highlighted crochet curly bob
The honey-brown highlighted crochet curly bob features black, jaw-length ringlets with thin honey-brown strands scattered through the front and outer sections. Most curls remain dark, creating a rounded silhouette with brighter spirals framing the cheeks and adding visible separation between individual curls. For balanced color placement, choose crochet extensions with scattered honey-brown highlights concentrated around the face rather than evenly distributed throughout the entire bob.
613 blonde beach curl crochet bob
The 613 blonde beach curl crochet bob features pale yellow-blonde strands falling in loose, S-shaped waves that brush the neckline, with slightly darker roots creating contrast around the hairline. Its short, rounded silhouette carries gentle volume through the sides, while separated waves form an uneven lower edge with curved ends. Choose dark-rooted 613 blonde crochet extensions with loose beach curls to maintain the color transition and wave definition.
Burgundy short curly crochet bob
The burgundy short curly crochet bob features small, rounded ringlets falling to chin length, with a deep wine-red shade covering the curls and darker tones remaining visible near the roots. Fullness extends through the sides and crown, creating a compact, curved silhouette with individual spirals framing the cheeks and defining the lower edge. Choose short burgundy crochet extensions with tightly formed ringlets to maintain consistent curl size and color depth.
Dark-root ombre crochet curly bob
The dark-root ombre crochet curly bob features defined, chin-length ringlets transitioning from nearly black roots at the crown to warm chestnut brown through the lower half. Its rounded silhouette carries fullness along the sides, with lighter curls framing the cheeks and jaw while the upper sections remain dark. Choose pre-ombre crochet extensions with a gradual black-to-chestnut transition to keep the color placement consistent throughout the bob.
Crochet bob braids with curly ends
Crochet bob braids with curly ends feature small, evenly sized box braids falling toward the jawline, where the braided lengths transition into loose spiral tips. The upper sections lie close together, creating a compact bob silhouette, while separated curls add movement around the cheeks and neckline. Choose pre-looped crochet box braids with curled ends, keeping the braided sections short enough for the curls to finish at jaw level.
Short boho crochet braids with curls
Short boho crochet braids with curls combine slim black braids and loose spiral strands in a neck-length bob, with individual curls falling freely between the braided sections. The braids create a structured base, while scattered ringlets add fullness around the cheeks and sides, forming a slightly uneven lower edge. Choose lightweight crochet braids with loose curly strands, separating the curls gently with your fingers to maintain their definition.
Short spring twist crochet curls
Short spring twist crochet curls feature rope-like, lightly coiled twists falling to the jawline, with several ends opening into small spirals. The separated twists create a rounded bob silhouette with fullness through the sides and a compact neckline, while the curled tips give the lower edge an uneven finish. Choose short spring twist crochet extensions with curled ends, and separate the twists gently to preserve their rope-like definition.
Half-up short crochet curly ponytail
The half-up short crochet curly ponytail gathers the upper section of a black, chin-length curly bob into a small ponytail positioned high on the crown. Defined ringlets remain loose around both cheeks and the nape, while the gathered curls form a compact, rounded cluster rather than a long trailing ponytail. Secure the upper section with a small elastic, leaving enough curls loose to maintain fullness around the sides.
Asymmetric short curly crochet bob
The asymmetric short curly crochet bob features defined ringlets falling to the jawline on one side, while the opposite section ends just below the ear. A clean side part separates the uneven lengths, creating an angled silhouette with consistent curl definition across both sides and a visibly slanted lower edge. Choose crochet extensions in two graduated lengths to maintain the asymmetry while keeping the curls uniform.
