For most girls, the thought of chopping off our long locks strikes fear in our hearts (myself included). I have always envied the girls that have the gumption and the bone structure to pull off a short do, however in recent years I have noticed its less about the bone structure and more about your hairstylist. Colour, cut, and style play such a huge role in making a cropped do work for you.
The crop is a trend that seems to be sweeping Hollywood like wildfire in the last year, everyone from Diana Agron to Emma Watson taking the drastic leap. The key to making this look work for you is choosing the right cut and colour for your face shape.
For those with a round face shape or a heart face shape, opt for a pixie style cut like Ginnifer Goodwin, Michelle Williams, Halle Berry and Emma Watson. This cut elongates your face shape and accentuates your cheekbones.
Ladies with a square face shape are best suited to a choppy crop like Keira Knightley, Alexa Chung and most recently Diana Agron. This is great for softening the jawline and is easily maintained with a bit of dry shampoo for volume and styling mouse used in a scrunching motion.
Long face shapes are best suited to the classic bob a-la Victoria Beckham. Oval face shaped ladies rejoice because anything suits you!
Take some inspiration for the coming summer months from our celebrity gallery below. These fierce ladies prove that keeping your hair long doesn’t prove your femininity.

I love Dianna’s new crop and I had also all my hair chopped off 6 weeks ago which I am loving! Takes no time to style and dry..just fab.
Love love love her hair it looks just like mine!
I love how the chop can turn ordinary into edgy, if you have the face, rock it!
I got my hair like this about 2 years ago and it was so good in terms of maintenance and all but I didn’t suit me that well and i’ve been growing it ever since!
wow Dianna’s new hairstyle looks absolutely amazing..i wish i could pull something like that off 
love dianna’s crop, absolutely gorgeous!! I used to have hair that reached my bum and cut it off at the start of the year to a concave bob above my shoulders – no regrets at all!!!
I love the freshness and cuteness of bobs and crops.
I love Diana’s crop! But I wouldnt have the guts!
I love Rhianna’s Style
woah! now i cant wait to get a new look!! thanks!!
Long hair is the only way for me.
i couldnt pull this look off
I have always wanted to chop my hair off but i dont have the guts and i know that i would be wanting my long hair back within a week. lol
I went from waist long hair to a short bob, it sounds a lot scarier than it is! Hair grows back and you could always get extensions if you really don’t like it. Worth trying it if you’re thinking about it
How i wish i can pull Dianna hair 
I have been growing my hair patiently for the last 3 years, no way I would chop it all off! I agree that the crop does actually suit a lot of people though and it would be much easier to maintain!
The cropped looks would be great for our very HOT australian summers and after swimming, just shake
love the crop! have one myself….
I love the crop.
Looks good on some. I love having short hair, so much easier to look after.
from long to short to long to short and im finally letting my hair grow again but after seeing this style come back im thinking of doing the bob again???
My fave crop out of those photographs here would have to be Vic Beckham. She looks mishcieveous!!
Love Hayden’s cut – I wish I could pull off that style
I’m always afraid to do the crop, but these inspire me!
Personally I’d love to do the crop. Something like Diana Agron but my face is too round for the short style.
i’ve cut my hair like this so many times! it’s way too hard to maintain without straightening every day and after it rains.
Loved the look on Dianna Agron, but I’m not sure it’d work for me.
looks great to me

My short hair was definitely inspired by Dianna. My hairstylist said my texture and volume wasn’t suitable for it so I got a digital perm with my cut and it turned out amazing. Long hair has always been considered sexy but I think girls like Dianna and Emma really help girls take the lead on having it short and still lookng hot.
I really like it when folks arrive with each other and share opinions, wonderful website, maintain it up.
I once tried to get a short hairstyle and I walked out amoslt in tears with something like a bowl cut, the dumb hairdresser didnt know how to cut hair after braggibg how amazing he will make me look, he realised he stuffed up too. So too scared to try short hair.
Daringly going to try this cut this summer
This really makes me want to cut all my hair off again
Diana’s is amazing. So sexy. And might I add that Jess Stoup totally looks like a Kristen Stewart. That is, if Kristen Stewart decided to come up with a new facial expression.
such a fresh cut, looks great summer!!!
I love short hair, I wish it would suit me but it doesnt
I wish I could pull off these kinds of hair styles.
love short hair
Don’t think I’d have the guts! Dianna looks super fierce though
Looks so pretty but I won’t be able to do it!!
like Diana’s hairstyle. looks gorgeous.
wish I were brave enough to do this
I sometimes wonder about a short ‘do but I’ve never seen one with thick curls like mine that I would like. Past a certain shortness, it seems like an afro is my only option without a straightener.
short hair is wonderful
was thinking about cutting my hair
very nice
Love the cropped look, very easy to maintain etc..however now I’m going to grow it a little longer 
I think there’s a great many types of crop or short hair in general and as always it’s best to go with what suits your face shape, body shape and what you’re comfortable with.
A short cut does wonders for my cheekbones
Cute hairstyles
I love Emma’s new crop.
looks too messy, but edgy yet fashionable at the same time!
Whenever I have long hair I want short hair and as soon as I cut it I regret it! Why is it so tempting!
it suits some people. some celebrities look absolutely gorgeous though!
Just can’t work up the courage to get one…
..had the Crop this year…now considering growing it again..
They all look great!
Wow I’m so tempted to chop mine off
The crop would only work on particular face shapes
Love the crop… have it myself ;-D
I really wish I could be brave enough to do this…my hair is halfway down my back, I don’t think I could ever part with it. Personal fave? Michelle Williams, for sure!
nice styles but i’m too scared to cut my hair
Love love love diannas hair!
i love this style. i actually got it myself twice, and it’s grown out again haha.
