I recently peeped a picture of Paulina Rubio with a chic bob that would make you forget everything you've ever heard about short cuts and curly hair. The Mexican singer's new chop doesn't just look amazing, but it also makes her locks appear thicker and healthier too. Best part is, it's not nearly as high-maintenance as you'd think it'd be. Need more ideas? Here are a few other stylish haircuts that look fab on curly (or wavy) hair!

Morena Baccarin:
Whoever told you curly girls can't rock pixie cuts was SO wrong! You just want to make sure your stylist adds a mix of layers to help give your style shape. Use a curl cream that's going to keep your rizos defined and frizz-free. I'm obsessed with SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie ($8). This stuff is awesome!
Judy Reyes
Thin, fine curls like Judy's look good with a cut that's going to boost volume and add body. Opt for a shoulder-length bob with layers cut all around the head. Keep curls soft and intact with Nuance Salma Hayek's Blue Agave Enhancing Styling Swirl ($13).
Adrienne Bailon
If you have lose waves like Adrienne Bailon, a razor cut will help you achieve an effortless shaggy look. Ask your stylist to cut your hair in a way that leaves the top fuller and the ends piece-y. By the way, this cut doesn't work on curlier or coarser textures!
Dania Ramiez
Dania's shoulder-length cut looks best on tighter, thicker curls. I suggest rocking this look by parting hair to the side to help boost volume. Keep curls smooth and soft with a leave-in conditioner, like Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner ($23).
Salma Hayek
Blended bangs look good with soft, lose curls like Salma's that are straighter at the roots. Use a curl booster, like Bumble and Bumble Conscious Reactivitating Mist ($26) for added bounce.
