Short Choppy Celebrity Hairstyles

12/09/2014

A short choppy hairstyle is the perfect haircut for girls who like simplicity, are daring and minimalist. It will add an instant cool factor to your look, look great with any hair color, but is best suited if you have straight hair or are willing to straighten it. Read on for our favorite hairstyles and advice on how to maintain it.

Elisha Cuthbert

Remember that movie, "The Girl Next Door"? In it, Elisha Cuthbert debuted one of our favorite short choppy hairstyle, a deeply parted bob with asymmetric layers. The gorgeous blonde really made it work and it complimented her so well. The actress has since worn her hair in various ways, but we are still lusting after those perfectly messy layers.

Taylor Momsen

The "Gossip Girl" star started out as a pretty, innocent looking young girl on the hit TV show. Her character as well as the actress both had intense make overs and this lovely lady transformed her hair from pretty long locks to a short choppy hairstyle, keeping her color blonde. This hairstyle is incredibly easy to maintain – you do not have to over style it, just use a little bit of hairspray. Regular trims will keep your hair looking fresh and layered.

Michelle Williams

Gorgeous Michelle rose from the actress that starred in "Dawsons Creek" to an award winning star. Her transformation included a choppy blonde pixie cut recreated by many, and we have to say, it really compliments her features. Gorgeous Michelle went for a choppy pixie cut with wispy layers. We like! An inspiration for this kind of hairstyle might also be model Agyness Deyn, who has been wearing a similar hairstyle for ages. She bleaches it and has some dark pieces in it as well – perfect for an edgier look.

Jenna Elfman

Jenna Elfman is an actress who shows us how to do the short choppy hair both on curly and straight hair. This beauty looks just as good with voluminous ringlets as she does with straightened hair, and we love both hairstyles. Other celebrities who have worn this look include Alyssa Milano, Glee’s Diana Agron, Emma Watson and even Miley Cyrus. If you are looking to take the plunge and cut your long locks, a short choppy hairstyle might be perfect for you.

Something that will work great for this kind of hairstyle is definitely hair pomade. A smoothing product which will preven flyaways will also make your layers pretty and piece-y. Do not use too much though. You do not want you hair to look greasy! Some flexible hairspray is also good if you want to maintain flexibility in your hair and not make it too crispy. Remember to get regular haircuts, hair grows fast and this kind of haircut tends to start looking messy pretty fast. A monthly touch up should ensure you have a freshly coiffed hairstyle all day, every day.
