Cropped hairstyles
For a while there, we were #obsessed with long hair – but now cropped hair is officially back and better than ever. Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Janelle Monae and Jamie Lee Curtis are just a few of the celebrities with short hair on the red carpet. Not only is it super stylish, it’s also low maintenance and surprisingly versatile: With styles ranging from undercuts, to sweeping mohawks and pixie cuts.
Style a shorter ‘do: L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pixie Pommade, TONI&GUY Hair Care Creative Style Spray Wax, JUSTICE Professional Firm Clay

Watch the video to find out my favourite thing about them (and let me know whether you can relate in the comments section, below!).
