Taking care of long hair is no easy task, so it's no wonder that so many women dream of just chopping it all off and never having to worry about it again. After all, plenty of men do it, so why shouldn't we?
Even though it sounds like a brilliant plan when you're spending half your morning trying to dry and style your hair, the reality is that many of us never actually go through with cutting it all off (or burning it off, if you try this bizarre Brazilian technique). But there are lots of women that actually do decide to rock a shorter style… and look amazing with it. Sure, it's a bit harder to do this gorgeous waterfall braid when you have a pixie cut, but the low maintenance and chic look of a cropped 'do will make you forget all about the days of ponytails and curling irons!
Unfortunately, there are still people out there who think that short hair on women looks "masculine." But don't let that deter you from following your most daring hair dreams. If you're still unsure about going short, check out these gorgeous female stars who went to the salon and came back without a lot of hair, but with a hot new look. And let us know in the comments which one you think wears it best!
Make sure you SHARE these beautiful styles with everyone you know and remind the world that short hair on a woman looks amazing!
1. Ginnifer Goodwin
The He's Just Not That Into You and Once Upon a Time actress has said that she has no interest in ever having long hair again, and she recently dyed it a lovely shade of frosted lavender.
2. Lupita Nyong'o
I'm pretty sure that no matter what this Mexican-born Kenyan actress did with her hair, she'd still look like a princess, but she looks particularly breathtaking with her iconic close-cropped style. Keep an eye out for her when Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens hits theaters!
3. Ruby Rose
The multitalented Australian DJ/model made the world fall in love with her when she appeared in season three of Orange Is The New Black this year.
4. Jennifer Lawrence
The Hunger Games actress shocked all her fans when she showed up with a blonde pixie cut one day, but she definitely proved that different can look dazzling.
5. Zendaya
OK, so Zendaya didn't actually cut her long, flowing locks off in order to achieve this gorgeous look. Instead, she somehow managed to fit all her hair under a wig! Not everyone liked the young star's style, but she shrugged off the hateful comments with ease.
6. Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron has proven time and time again that she can play any role and look good in any haircut. She proved both points when she starred in her recent film, Max Max: Fury Road.
7. Emma Watson
Once a beloved child star of the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson has now grown up to star in many more movies. But most notably, she's become a UN Women Goodwill ambassador and graduated from the prestigious Brown University.
8. Rihanna
We're used to seeing Rihanna trying out new and edgy looks, but no matter what she does with her hair, she always manages to look beautiful.
9. Halle Berry
It's almost weird to imagine Halle Berry without her signature short hair at this point… though I think if she chose to permanently don the silver locks she wears when she plays Storm in the X-Men movies, I highly doubt anyone would say it was a bad choice.
10. Carey Mulligan
It's hard to envision this star without her lovely short hair, and that's just one reason why she was able to so convincingly play the role of Daisy in the 2013 remake of The Great Gatsby.
11. Anne Hathaway
Whether she's wearing it short for a role (such as when she played Fantine in Les Miserables) or just for fun, there's no denying that Anne Hathaway looks just as great with a short style as she does with a long one.
12. Jennifer Hudson
The actress and singer has gone through multiple transformations throughout her career. First, she lost eighty pounds with the help of Weight Watchers, and then most recently, she decided to ditch her long hair in favor of a shorter look. No matter what she does, this star always looks flawless!
13. Pink
This singer has been an icon for female empowerment and body positivity for as long as we can remember, and her short hair has always added an extra touch of spunk to her awesome performances.
14. Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen is one of the most hilarious and talented people in television, so it's no wonder that she plays the lovable and forgettable fish Dory in Disney's Finding Nemo and the upcoming sequel, Finding Dory.
15. Shailene Woodley
Shailene cried when her long hair was cut off for her role in The Fault In Our Stars, but her new look wasn't just changing her appearance — it was changing lives. The actress donated her chopped locks to an organization called Children With Hair Loss, which makes wigs for children with illnesses such as cancer or alopecia.
