Sweeten-up a Short Cut

I'm getting my hair cut into this really short ’do, so I can donate my strands to Locks of Love. How can I keep a close-crop girly? Help!

 

Just because your locks are shorter, doesn’t mean it can’t be soft and feminine. Here are our tips for getting a gorgeous, cropped cut!

 
Do your homework.

To make sure you get the right length, clip out pics of your fave short-haired celebs. Right now, Audrey Tautou has a fashion-forward crop, Ashley Greene has an amazing bob and Ginnifer Goodwin is sporting inch-long locks.

 
Chat with your stylist.

After you show your stylist your pics, ask what she thinks. She’ll be able to give you advice on what’ll look best with your face shape.


Let her that you want to keep it cute, but not boyish.

Good options are a laidback, wavy bob or super-short with funky bangs (like Rihanna or Pink). Layers can give feminine movement and texture to short crops. Be honest about how short you’re willing to go!


Become a stylista.

How you style your hair can have a big impact on the vibe it gives off. If your locks are a little longer, use a curling iron to add tousled waves. Or use hair glue to sculpt punked-out styles. A cute headband and a girly frock are perf for when you gotta dress up!
