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.

Go for it if it suits you!
A lot of gorgeous styles!
i absolutely love my crop. so easy to look after, and can change color often..:)
Love it, cute and smart.
Dianna’s is amazing WOW
Wish I was brave enough!
Only suits some faces and definetly not mine
Yay for the crop!
i love this style. i actually got it myself twice, and it’s grown out again haha.
Love love love diannas hair!
nice styles but i’m too scared to cut my hair
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!
Love the crop… have it myself ;-D
The crop would only work on particular face shapes
Wow I’m so tempted to chop mine off
They all look great!
..had the Crop this year…now considering growing it again..
Just can’t work up the courage to get one… 🙁
it suits some people. some celebrities look absolutely gorgeous though!
Whenever I have long hair I want short hair and as soon as I cut it I regret it! Why is it so tempting!
looks too messy, but edgy yet fashionable at the same time!
I love Emma’s new crop.
Cute hairstyles
A short cut does wonders for my cheekbones 🙂
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.
Love the cropped look, very easy to maintain etc..however now I’m going to grow it a little longer 😎
very nice
was thinking about cutting my hair 🙂
short hair is wonderful
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.
wish I were brave enough to do this
like Diana’s hairstyle. looks gorgeous.
Looks so pretty but I won’t be able to do it!!
Don’t think I’d have the guts! Dianna looks super fierce though
love short hair
I wish I could pull off these kinds of hair styles. 🙁
I love short hair, I wish it would suit me but it doesnt
such a fresh cut, looks great summer!!!
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.
This really makes me want to cut all my hair off again
Daringly going to try this cut this summer
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.
I really like it when folks arrive with each other and share opinions, wonderful website, maintain it up.
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.

looks great to me 🙂
Loved the look on Dianna Agron, but I’m not sure it’d work for me.
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.
Personally I’d love to do the crop. Something like Diana Agron but my face is too round for the short style.
I’m always afraid to do the crop, but these inspire me!
Love Hayden’s cut – I wish I could pull off that style
My fave crop out of those photographs here would have to be Vic Beckham. She looks mishcieveous!!
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???
Looks good on some. I love having short hair, so much easier to look after.
I love the crop.
love the crop! have one myself….
The cropped looks would be great for our very HOT australian summers and after swimming, just shake 🙂
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!
How i wish i can pull Dianna hair 🙁
*pull off Dianna’s hairstyle 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 🙂
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 couldnt pull this look off
Long hair is the only way for me.
woah! now i cant wait to get a new look!! thanks!!
I love Rhianna’s Style
I love Diana’s crop! But I wouldnt have the guts!
I love the freshness and cuteness of bobs and crops.
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!!!
wow Dianna’s new hairstyle looks absolutely amazing..i wish i could pull something like that off 🙂
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!
I love how the chop can turn ordinary into edgy, if you have the face, rock it!
Love love love her hair it looks just like mine!
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.
ahh! I am contemplating the chop just have to work up the courage 🙂
