It’s all well and good to have a Victoria’s Secret-worthy blowout and all, but do you know the effort that goes into maintaining that fabulous head of hair? The effortlessly sexy tousled waves takes more styling and heating than you’d expect, and sometimes ain’t nobody got time for that. Especially in tropical Singapore, not only does the humidity give your hair a life of its own, there’s also the perspiration that from the heat that can result in an uncomfortable rash.
The solution to this is either to tie it up in a ponytail or go short. If you’re looking for a fuss-free way to maintain your tresses, consider the latter option, where all you need to do is simply slap on some hairstyling products and you’re good to go.
If you’re thinking of lobbing off your locks, here are some major celebrity with short hair style that might give you some inspiration:
1. Lily Collins
The sweet-as-pie daughter of Phil Collins has come into her own in many ways. Aside from starring in blockbuster hits like The Mortal Instruments (2013) , Emily In Paris and Mirror, Mirror (2012), Lily Collins is also carrying major clout in the style stakes. Her edgy haircut is departure from her girly waves, and a more grown-up look that shows she’s ready for meatier roles.
2. Karlie Kloss
Sure, the American model looked glamorous and feminine with long hair. But it’s her daring pixie cut that made the headlines of fashion and beauty magazines. Some have even gone so far as to dub her haircut The Karlie, referring to her wispy bangs and slightly undone bob that falls below her ears. All the better to flaunt those killer cheekbones, we say.
3. Kristen Stewart
KStew has always had that devil-may-care attitude when it comes to the press. Love her or loathe her, it’s deniable that she marches to her own beat, wearing sneakers to the red carpet, and now working that dishevelled side-swept bob with her signature smoky eye makeup.
4. Emma Watson
When Emma Watson hacked off her Hermione hair after the Harry Potter series ended, she received mixed reactions from fans and style critics alike. But the Brown graduate paid no heed to what others said about her hair, calling the move “the most liberating thing” in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. The face of Burberry and Lancôme rocks a short bob as well as shoulder-length waves, with face-framing wisps of hair and a simple up-do.
5. Anne Hathaway
The Divergent star is known for her versatility, appearing in films that ranged from fairy tales to adult-oriented dramas and comedies. From her breakthrough role in The Princess Diaries to her powerful portrayal of Fantine in Les Misérables, Hathaway has mesmerized audiences with her captivating performances in bringing characters to life. See how she donned a strapless red gown with bold drop earrings, while having her hair short styled into a side-swept pixie cut? Very classy, very mindful, very demure!
