These curls are called (plural) peiyot. The custom of allowing the hair in that area to grow, is a voluntary stringency based on (Leviticus 19:27) "...and do not destroy the corners of your beard." These corners were interpreted by the rabbis (Talmud, Makkot 20a) to mean the hair in front of the ears extending to beneath the cheekbone, on a level with the nose.

How many curls were in Shirley Temple's hair every time?

Yes they are. Mrs. Black's curls show the same pattern from the hairline. The early footage of the child star will show that the curls around the hairline have the same pattern throughout all her films. This is not possible to duplicate over so long a period as her movie career. Chemical processes for hair curling of the time were mechanically produced, and a three year old child was not considered for the process. Chemically processed curls do not show the same hair pattern consistently in any hairstyle.
