Get ready to unleash your inner stylist and create Sims with short, curly hairstyles that are bursting with character!
AINHOA BY ANTO
Ainhoa is striking textured hairstyle from Anto. It leans more towards medium length, but since the ends don’t quite reach the shoulders, I’m considering it a short style. Plus, just look at those luscious, tousled tresses. Ainhoa is absolutely stunning!
CARLOTA BY ANTO
Similar to Ainhoa, Anto’s Carlota features a striking layered bob with a neat part slightly to the left of center, accompanied by a generous amount of twirled, curled ringlets. While it may not be as fluffy as some other hairstyles on this list, it boasts plenty of texture and body to keep it trendy.
CAROUSEL BY SIMSONTHEROPE
Simsontherope’s Carousel hair is a less voluminous take on the cute, curly hairstyle from The Sims 4: Toddler Stuff. The shorter length gives it a spunkier, more spirited look compared to the original, which now appears softer and sweeter. If you have the Toddler Stuff pack, adding Carousel to your CAS will give you some variety. If you don’t, it serves as a great base game compatible alternative!
JORT HAIR BY OKRUEE
Looking for big and fluffy? Okruee has you covered. This magnificent afro is fit for a queen, with luscious, twisted curls styled to perfection. Even the “unruly” ends enhance the overall look, making it absolutely flawless.
MALE SPLIT CURLY HAIR BY WINGSSIMS
You can never go wrong with classic styles, and a middle part is the epitome of classic! Sure, not everyone can pull it off, but for those who can, why not try some lightly permed bangs or fluffed-out edges? Wingssims’ Male Splity Curly Hair is proof that this look is absolutely bomb!
CURLY BUNCH: RIANNE HAIR BY DIVINECAP
Here’s another stunning afro from divinecap’s Curly Bunch pack, a set of three bold, bouffant, and curly hairstyles that are simply to die for. Rianne stands out as the “short and curly” option, with her tightly-twisted ringlets and sharp cut. But make no mistake—all three hairstyles in this collection are beautiful!
JUDE HAIR BY OKRUEE
Okruee’s Jude Hair is fluffy and angelic, featuring clean, defined whorls that aren’t too kinked or tight. This hairstyle strikes the perfect balance between ‘casually modern’ and ‘classic boy-next-door’.
HYLAS MALE HAIR BY WISTFULCASTLE
WistfulCastle’s Hylas hair is reminiscent of BED & MUSAE’s Nerdy hair. There’s something distinctly Grecian about the well-defined locks, like hand-carved marble curls. These whorls are a bit looser, giving them a more casual and trendy look rather than abstract or artsy. Available in 15 custom colors.
BREONA HAIR BY KOTCAT
Breona is a charming hairstyle with the potential for a touch of sass when you want it. It shares the same texture as Cleo and Gabbie but with slightly less volume. Despite this, the loose curls—similar to aharris00britney’s Gabbie hair—add enough body to keep the style from looking flat. It’s also available in 16 out of 18 EA colors.

CLEO HAIR BY GREENLLAMAS
Cleo by greenllamas has a similar vibe to aharris00britney’s Gabbie. It’s short, stylish, and full of volume. This CC hairstyle features a side part, though Cleo’s is on the opposite side. The curls are slightly less defined—more relaxed than beach waves, but definitely between them and loose curls.
GABBIE HAIR BY AHARRIS00BRITNEY
Not quite an afro, but just as full, thick, and beautifully textured, aharris00britney’s Gabbie hair is a stylish short-medium cut with a chic side part and, of course, plenty of curls. The curls are too loose to be considered ringlets, yet too defined to be called waves.
HARI HAIR BY MARSO
Marso’s Hari hair shares a similar vibe with clumsyalien’s Adriana Hair: clean, elegant, and featuring artfully tousled curls that highlight its slightly off-center part. While it doesn’t include a two-tone accessory overlay like Adriana’s, it does come in EA’s standard swatches, offering a good range of hair colors to choose from.
NERDY HAIR BY BED & MUSAE
These curls evoke the look of a Grecian statue: clear, detailed, and incredibly defined. They resemble hand-carved swirls with a clay-like texture and distinct separation between each whorl. Viewed from that angle, they have an artsy quality that many Simmers are likely to appreciate.
X3 FORTNITE CONVERSION/EDIT BY BUSTEDPIXELS
BustedPixels, a talented content creator, has made a name for themself by converting and editing Fortnite assets for other games. One such project is the “Fortnite Misc Hair Set 01 Conversion/Edit.” This conversion makes Fortnite hairstyles usable in The Sims 4, allowing players to add a unique flair to their Sims with iconic Fortnite looks.
KIALA HAIR BY HELLFROZEOVER
This hairstyle combines classic pixie cut elements with trendy, sophisticated curls. It’s a stunning mix of high-fashion flair and no-nonsense elegance—think Boss Lady meets a quietly intelligent art curator, in the best possible way. It comes in EA’s standard 18-swatch palette, offering both natural and unconventional color options.
ILLUSIONS: ADRIANA HAIR BY CLUMSYALIEN
Clumsyalien’s content is quite similar to okruee’s, featuring a distinctly Maxis Match texture with a touch of Alpha CC detail. It strikes a balance between realistic and stylized. Their Adriana hair, from the Illusions CAS pack, is short and elegant. It features a slightly off-center part and artfully tousled curls. Plus, it offers a cool two-toned option.
SERAPHIM (MALE HAIR) BY WISTFUL CASTLE
Yes, the Sim model is stunning, but setting aside Wistful Castle’s impressive CAS skills, this Seraphim hair is truly spectacular! The curls are clean, crisp, and neatly styled, twisting and sitting perfectly on the Sim’s head. It’s by far my favorite curly hairstyle for male frames—I honestly can’t find a single flaw. It even looks fantastic in Laptop Mode!
BONNIE HAIR BY OKRUEE
BustedPixels, a talented content creator, has made a name for themself by converting and editing Fortnite assets for other games. One such project is the “Fortnite Misc Hair Set 01 Conversion/Edit.” This conversion makes Fortnite hairstyles usable in The Sims 4, allowing players to add a unique flair to their Sims with iconic Fortnite looks.
MAELA HAIR BY WONDERCARLOTTA
Wondercarlotta, a creator on the Sims 4 modding scene, has released a hair mod called “Maela Hair.” This hairstyle is available for all ages, from teen to elder, and even works with hats in-game. It also comes in all 24 of the base game’s color swatches, giving players plenty of options to customize their Sims’ look.
HILARY BY SIMSTROUBLE
Simstrouble’s Hilary hair is a spunky, fluffy style with curls and playful, wayward strands, finished off with a vibrant bandana-turned-hairband accessory. The hairband is integrated into the hairstyle, so it can’t be removed or worn with hats. However, it’s absolutely perfect on its own!
DAVID HAIRSTYLE BY ANTO
Anto, a popular creator for The Sims 4, has designed a hairstyle called “David.” This virtual hairpiece caters to players who want a curly style for their male Sims. If you’re looking to add a touch of personality to your Sims, the David Hairstyle might be the perfect choice!
CLOSE CURLS BY KIARA24
Just as described: a chopped-short style with tight, close curls. It may look a bit unruly, but that’s part of its charm. Plus, it’s a versatile hairstyle that works for all ages and comes in 40 custom colors!
JOSHUA HAIR BY STEPHANINE
These curls (and the model wearing them) are absolutely stunning. Nicely defined and casually styled, this “low maintenance, just-rolled-out-of-bed” look is something many people aspire to achieve. Plus, it’s pretty and Base Game Compatible!
TORI; OBLIVION RECOLOR BY TEKRI | RECOLORS BY EVOXYR
The hair that supposedly served as the base mesh for this edit and recolor is, quite frankly, drastically different from the reworked product. The original was long, featured a braid, and had wavy rather than curly ends. Not sure what happened in the transformation, but fortunately, you don’t need the original mesh for evoxyr’s gorgeous custom locks to work in-game. Just look at those beautiful ringlets!
MEDIUM MID CURLY BY KIARAZURK
KiaraZurk, a talented 3D hair creator, has designed a hairstyle named “Medium Mid Curly.” This style offers a shoulder-length, curly look that’s perfect for Sims with a touch of wildness. Whether you’re aiming for a carefree or glamorous vibe, “Medium Mid Curly” could be the hairpiece to complete your Sim’s unique look.
OKURRT BY SHESPEAKSSIMLISH
Have you ever seen hair as textured and beautiful as this? I was instantly smitten by those pale-green curls! Shespeakssimlish’s Okurrt hair features a stunning mix of clean, clearly-defined curls, from big, bouncy ringlets to smaller, tighter spirals. The variety in curl sizes, combined with the added ombres, makes this hairstyle one of the most intriguing on the list!
CALI HAIR BY CAROL
This is probably my personal favorite CC from this list. It ticks all the boxes—short, curly, and beautiful. It’s fully BGC and features a playful chunk of curly bangs right at the front. So cute! It has a hint of manic-pixie-girl energy but remains soft and subdued. I absolutely love this Maxis Match style. 10/10 recommend!
OPHELIE HAIR BY WONDERCARLOTTA
This hairstyle was created by the anonymous CC creator wondercarlotta in response to a request for a look modeled after the requester’s own hair. If that’s the case, the requester has absolutely stunning hair! Just look at that volume and spunky elegance! This is hands-down one of my favorites so far.
FLUFFY MALE CURLY HAIR ER0714 BY WINGSSIMS
It’s fluffy male hair—what’s not to love? Short, curly, and as bouncy as a rubber ball, this hairstyle looks like something angels would wear. You can’t convince me otherwise. It comes in fifteen colors, but those curls in blond? They’re truly something special.
VINTAGE CURLY HAIR ER0808 BY WINGSSIMS
Vintage hairstyles always have an undeniable charm, and this stunning alpha CC by wingssims is no exception! The big, bouffant, perfectly-defined tresses exude strong 60s Sweetheart vibes, and it’s hard not to love them. The style is bouncy, shiny, and comes in fifteen original colors.
ZAID HAIR BY ICE-CREAMFORBREAKFAST
This is a quick yet adorable edit of the curly Male hair from TS4 Tiny Living. It reduces some of the volume and gives it a more styled appearance, compared to the original mop of curls. If you don’t have Tiny Living, no worries—the creator included both an override and a BGC standalone version, so you don’t need the original mesh.
MATTHEW HAIR BY MARIGOLDE
Ignore the Sim model’s bored expression—this Matthew hair is anything but flat! It features short, kinked curls with a few unruly strands and a charming just-rolled-out-of-bed look. The overall effect is surprisingly attractive. Plus, the creator deserves extra credit for making this CC unisex.
JACKSON HAIR BY OKRUEE
Named after Jackson Rod Stewart (from Hannah Montana fame), okruee’s Jackson hair embodies that “sweet country heartthrob” vibe. With its wavy bangs, perfectly balanced length, and casually pushed-back curls, it creates a charmingly picturesque look. The preview photo showcasing the curls in straw yellow only enhances the rural charm.
MARCIA BY SIMSTROUBLE
Simstrouble’s Marcia hair is a stunning blend of thin ringlets intertwined with luscious curls. The length is a comfortable short-medium cut, featuring plenty of wayward curls and a pushed-back side part. It strikes the perfect balance between sensible and slightly trendy!
CHARLOTTE HAIR BY FERALPOODLES
Here’s another custom hairstyle that straddles the line between short and medium length. Feralpoodles’ Charlotte hair has a distinct “styled” appearance, as if someone used a flat iron to twist the ends of their wavy hair into clean, bouncy curls. It’s a classic combination that complements almost any face shape!
