Lupita Nyongo's Close Crop
Take note: close crops aren't limiting. During the whirlwind awards season we saw the Oscar winner change her part, length and even add in accessories. Lupita's haircut proves that even if your ends can't create a ponytail there's still plenty of possibles. And on days you need a break, this is the one no-fuss look that is actually get-up and go.
Allison Williams' Shoulder-Length Cut
We always admired the Girls star's long locks and our appreciation didn't lessen when she chopped off a few inches. In fact, the cut—which stops around her collarbones—makes the actress seem more sophisticated without taking away from her youthfulness. Long hair gals looking for an update, this might be the way to go!
Reese Witherspoon's Chic Bob
Short hair, don't care? Hardly. Clearly the Oscar winner cares a great deal about making the most of her bob. Whether down or up, curly or straight, the chin-length appears effortlessly chic. And unlike Rihanna or Katy Perry's Cleopatra cut, her side-swept bangs keep her cut from looking too blunt (read: harsh).
Jessica Alba's Lob
Play your part! Sometimes little tweaks have a major impact. Since the actress' got her lob (long bob) she's changed her part on a near daily basis to highlight the cut's layers. Bonus: An assymetical crop also makes for an ideal starting point for a flawless faux bob.
Jennifer Lawrence's Pixie
If you're going to get a pixie, J.Law has and endless supply of styling examples (her Hunger Games: Catching Fire promotional tour will give you weeks worth of inspiration). Just be sure you keep a little bit of length in the front because those bangs, so to speak, could make or break your ability to be versatile.
Kate Mara's Edgy Bob
Yes, it's another bob—what can we say: short hair is it, people! Unlike Reese's version, this crop has got an edgier vibe thanks to choppy ends. The uneven length gives curls more texture (and the appearance of mega volume) and adds a hint of rock n roll to sleek styles.
