Celebrities Who Cut Their Hair Short

Celebrities cut their hair all the time. In the glamour world you have to keep evolving in order to stay in news. Some celebrities cut their hair for special movie roles. Others do it just for publicity. However, we have to admit that it takes a lot of courage for a celebrity to sport a very short hairstyle. Very few celebrities have dared to chop off their hair and sport short hairstyles.

It is commoner in Hollywood for celebrities to cut their hair short. In Bollywood, we still have conventional standards of a woman's beauty. Long and lustrous hair is one these beauty parameters that are still very strong. That why most Indian celebrities do not dare to cut their hair very short.

But in Hollywood, a celebrity chopping off her long locks is very fashionable. In fact, the short hairstyles can sometimes give the celebrity a sudden facelift. For example, Halle Berry is one of the first celebrities to cut her hair short. Today, we love Halle Berry's pixie cut hairstyle more than we likes her long hair.
