New Year, new hair: 8 celeb-inspired short hairstyles for you to try in 2020
Time to let your hair down
image

New year, new hair! If you’ve been on the fence about taking the plunge to get a cropped ’do, here’s all the inspo you need. From chic cropped pixies to soft long bobs (lobs), we’ve rounded up some of the best celebrity short hairdos to help you decide on your new cut.

Still unsure? If you don’t want to risk a major chop, you can always start with a long bob and then go shorter gradually throughout the year, if you please!

Rounded short bob

Kaia Gerber’s sleek chin-grazing bob is a perfect ’do for those with fine hair; a cropped length will make your tresses look fuller and thicker.

Keep it one-length and wear it with a middle-part for a chic, timeless look. For dressier days, style it with on-trend hair clips or hair bands.

Choppy bob

We’re obsessed with Lana Condor’s take on the popular side-part bob: it’s got great texture, thanks to beachy, effortless-looking waves, and it’s just-below-the-chin length perfectly accentuates her round face shape.

Shaggy lob
image

Alexa Chung has gone back and forth between her signature lob and longer tresses over the last few years, but we have to admit we’re pretty partial towards her shorter hairdos, like this one.

Effortless and with just minimal styling needed, a shaggy lob is the perfect transition cut if you’re not quite sure if you’re ready for a chin-length crop yet.

Cropped pixie
image

Definitely one for the brave of heart, this super-cropped pixie perfectly complements Zoe Kravitz’s high cheekbones and delicate features.

Don’t be fooled by its short length, this cut can still be dressed up for nights out with hair gel to create a chic, slicked-to-the-side look.

Wavy lob
image

If you’re scared you’re going to miss your long tresses, start slow with a lob that falls just below the shoulders.

Soft waves and medium layers give Gemma Chan’s flattering lob a pretty, relaxed look that’s easy to pull off. Plus, at this length, you can still easily pull your mane into a ponytail.

Soft pixie with bangs
image

Rowan Blanchard’s tousled pixie is proof that shorter hairdos can look just as feminine and pretty as longer ones.

Plus, we love how the piecey bangs give the overall ’do a fun and flirty yet edgy look.

Tousled bob

If you’ve got thick hair, Demi Lovato’s tousled bob is a good representation of how your future chopped ’do could look.

She keeps it styled with subtle tousled waves and a flattering side part.

Blunt lob
image

Want to flaunt a fresh yet easy-to-maintain look for the new year? Go for a one-length, blunt lob a la Katy Perry.

This cut doesn’t require much styling and it’s also effortless to grow out, so you don’t need to keep going back to the salon to keep it in shape.
