Twenty-six years ago today, Meg Ryan’s shoulder-length curls first bounced across the screen in the 1986 classic, When Harry Met Sally, winning the affection of costar Billy Crystal and a stoic hair following from audience members, many of whom left the theater and headed straight to the salon saying, “I’ll have what she’s having.” Though it may be almost three decades later, the current heat wave has us thinking, what could be more appealing than the humidity-embracing texture that comes with a short, weightless crop?
After all, Ryan’s quirky, exuberant beauty soon transformed her into America’s sweetheart, but she wasn’t the only woman to recognize the appeal of spirals that fall somewhere between the chin and collarbone.

Diana Ross found late nights of disco dancing were best accompanied by glossy ringlets. And today’s street style stars continue to give the look endless range by way of finger-raked coils (Yasmin Sewell), deconstructed Afros (Julia Sarr-Jamois), and voluminous, center-parted cuts (Solange Knowles). Here, a look at nine reasons why short hair and curls are the makings for a summer romance.
