Best Celebrity Short Hair Inspiration
Chopping off nine, six, or even three inches of hair is pretty scary stuff, which is probably why most of us always settle for the same old, run-of-the-mill trim every six weeks. Our hair, and how we choose to rock it, says so much about us — and in many ways is a reflection of our personalities; it’s oftentimes the first thing someone notices about us and the last thing they remember. So, why not live on the wild side and take a page out of Rihanna or Karlie Kloss’ book and chop it all off? From buzz cuts to lobs, these women make a strong case for shaking things up with a dramatic cut. Click through to see all the hair inspo you need to make your coolest mane move yet. We dare you!

Hailey opts for a shoulder length bob (also known as the lob) that’s even more sultry and attention-grabbing than her longer tresses. If you have thicker hair and want Hailey's volume, ask your stylist to give you a texturized cut without thinning out your mane too much.

A long bob with soft beach waves is a hairstyle that’s here to stay and Sofia Richie makes us finally want to give in and try it. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray will give you the same, piece-y finish with minimal fuss.

Emma Roberts went for a double change with a brand-new hue and cut. Her slightly longer-in-the-front lob is the perfect bold way to enter bob territory.

Buzz cuts are not for the faint of heart, but model Ruth Belle shows us that with the right confidence anyone can rock it. We love how she styled her 'do so that the hairline tapers down toward the front, putting an even cooler spin on the dramatic chop.

Having a shorter ‘do means you can skip styling and hit the snooze button one more time. Just tuck your hair behind your ears à la Emma Watson and you’re ready to head out the door.

When Rihanna first premiered her now infamous short bob back in ‘08 it caused quite a stir. Of course, she was way ahead of her time because eight years later and we still can’t get enough of it. We love how she combined short sides with a dramatic, swooping side bang to emphasize her mane makeover.

It seems like ages ago that Kristen Stewart had long brown hair, but maybe that’s because her cropped lighter locks look so dang good — especially with a faded section of dark roots down the center.

Not ready to chop it all off? Copy Karlie, and go for a cut that’s slightly longer and hits just at the shoulders for a style that’s still fun, but a little a less scary.

Jemima looks like a completely different person after her hacking off her hair and serving a severe side part; and we're here for it! The sculptural shape and wet finish of her 'do heightens the drama of her hairstyle in the best way possible.

Earlier this year Gina chopped off several inches of her hair and donated them to the charity Locks of Love; making her big makeover fearless, stylish and the kindest cut yet.

Model Katie Anne is known in the industry for her choppy pixie cut (and dramatic bangs) so it’s almost impossible to imagine her with the long blonde hair she once had. Talk about totally career-making mane moves!

Model Peyton Knight’s shaggy bob and bangs show that two changes definitely make a right. Plus, her strands are still long enough to throw up in a ponytail. She's definitely got the best of both worlds.
