While pastels are all the rage this year, as are exposed roots, the biggest hair trend taking over the celebrity world is surprisingly classic. Bobs and bobbed haircuts can be seen everywhere, and there are currently dozens of female celebrities with short hair. If you’ve been thinking about cutting off your hair, you’re certainly not short of style inspiration right now!
I first joined the short hair club in 2013. I broke up with my first love and decided I needed to break up with my hair too. It ran down my back until it almost touched my chin. This adjustment was a little disruptive at first, but I love having short hair so much that I barely have to think about styling it.
Fast forward two years later, and I'm rocking long hair again, playing with pink columbine hair and mermaid blue hair. I love the rainbow action happening on my head, but it's starting to get really unhealthy and drying. I decided the bleach job was beyond repair and in April of this year I had it all cut off again. I'm currently at lob length and obsessed with the fact that it's still short enough, but I can now tie the top knot again. win.
