Miley Cyrus:
"Most people can wear short hair, which many often find surprising!" says Cutler. If you're already used to sporting a shorter style, try razor cutting the sides for an edgier look and keeping the front pieces longer, the way Miley Cyrus does here.
Julia Sarr-Jamois:
A veteran to the fashion curcuit, Sarr-Jamois's natural hair is almost as popular as her camera-worthy outfits. Almost. To keep natural hair looking healthy, try Ojon Damage Reverse Instant Restorative Hair Serum to help retain moisture and add shine.

Elisabeth Moss:
"The beauty of short hair is that you are probably going to have more good hair days!" says Cutler. "However, versatility can be more limited than longer hair styles, so it can feel a bit mundane." To keep things fresh, try experimenting with bold color, like Moss did by choosing an inky chocolate brown.
Michelle Williams:
Short cuts, like Michelle Williams', can benefit from styling products. You can keep your hair smooth and shiny (seen here) by using Kérastase Elixir Ultime or create lots of texture and sharper pieces with Bumble and bumble Semisumo.

Evan Rachel Wood:
"A great way to mix it up is to play with your texture, which can add huge variety," suggests Cutler. Don't be afraid to use product with short hair. A lightweight texturizing spray like Sachajuan Volume Powder will give you weightless volume.

Erin O'Connor
"Those who rely on their hair for a bit of “security” to feel good should steer clear of short styles." says Cutler. Instead, opt for a long bob to start before chopping off all of your locks. You can also try pinning up the back of your hair for a neck-grazing style. See how-to do it here.
Emma Watson:
Cutler gave Watson's her famous post-Potter pixie. If you're worried about grow-out, talk with your stylist before you decide to go short on how this style will look six months from now.
Halle Berry:
Halle Berry does a great job amping up her shorter style. To get her bead-head style, try The Iron Society's Old Fashion Grooming Aid and don't be precise about how your hair falls. The messier the better.
Ginnifer Goodwin:
"Those wanting to take the chop must be willing to maintain it." informs Cutler. "There is more upkeep—with regular visits to the salon." If you're reluctant to visit the salon every six weeks, go for a chin-length bob that will still look great as it grows out.
Carey Mulligan:
"Another way to grow out short hair is from the bottom—where your haircut actually grows out," says Cutler. "Your stylist can steer you towards a shaggier style." A great look is seen here where Mulligan grows out her pixie cut into a choppy bob.
Agyness Deyn:
"Another way to grow a pixie out is from the top— simply growing it out to a short bob-type look." Keep your hair healthy while it grows out by using a weekly omega rich mask like Rahua's Omega 9 Hair Mask.

Rihanna:
"Deciding to go short is all about the adaptation to suit one’s face shape." informs Cutler. "It's also about making sure you work in sync with your natural texture." Hair chameleon Rihanna trades in her bleached out hair for a short, tailored pixie cut which frames her face, highlights her cheekbones, and puts the emphasis on her eyes.
Chloë Sevingy:
Don't be afraid to experiment while your hair is still short. Here, Chloe Sevigny keeps things from getting boring by shaving half of her 'do. Use a light hair whip to keep strands out of your face.
