Six Celebs who Look Better with Short Hair and Six Who Don't

Best Short Hair
Halle Berry
Unless you've been living on another planet for the last few decades, you're all too aware that one of Hollywood's most stunning actresses is the ultimate short-hair showstopper. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well done, Halle.

Best Short Hair
Charlize Theron
Renowned for her model-esque features, Charlize has worn her hair on the short to medium length side for many years; her recent head shave for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road movie made this South African beauty live with a buzz cut for a few months followed by a grow-out phase. Currently, Charlize's locks end near the nape of her neck and she's never looked better. Not forced to limit her hairstyles, she's worn her shortened coif in curly waves, straight styles and piecey with hair gel. A shorter style shows off Charlize's cheekbones and highlights her long, swan-like neck.

Best Short Hair
Jennifer Hudson
JHud has sported longer, curlier hair and shorter styles, but her most face-flattering style is cropped, piecey hair, which perfectly accents her beautiful smile and flawless skin. The singer, known for her American Idol days, makes the most of her pixie by pairing it with bold, ruby red lipstick and minimal accessories.

Best Short Hair
Kelly Ripa
Once known for her big hair playing Hayley Vaughan on All My Children, Kelly has coiffed her once over-the-top soap actress tresses into a sleek and pretty blond bob. Over the years she has experimented with long, choppy layers and tapered front pieces, but her signature blond Barbie look is best when it's straightened into submission and worn above her collarbone.

Best Short Hair
Rihanna
Riri can pull off any hairstyle and even rocks a cropped mullet with panache. Leave it to the "S&M" singer to try bobs, buzzes and billowy curls and manage to look good. Rihanna's hairstylist must need a serious vacation.

Best Short Hair
Janet Jackson
Chart-topper Jackson generally remains coy about her hair and beauty secrets, but she's never one to shy away from attempting funky hairstyles and creative costumes. With a less-is-more attitude about her locks, she looks stunning, and her big brown eyes and perfect complexion really shine.

Worst Short Hair
Sarah Hyland
Sarah’s beautiful baby face combined with short curly hair makes her look young and unkempt—not sophisticated. This Modern Family star was cast with long, wavy brown locks and she looks best when there's length to her tresses to offset her round face. Plus, Sarah's natural hair is so gorgeous that chopping it off seems akin to letting a three-year-old play with a hot glue gun — a very bad and messy idea.

Worst Short Hair
Kaley Cuoco
Who let Kaley lop off her locks? Because we are revoking their hairdressing license. All-American bubbly blonde Kaley is renowned for her goddess waves and makes the perfect "dream girl" on The Big Bang Theory. With short hair, Kaley has a slightly masculine appearance and loses her girly spunk and energy. We're predicting this TV actress will be sporting extensions in no time.

Worst Short Hair
Kristin Chenoweth
This petite and perky powerhouse is known for her many stints on Broadway, but little Kristin is not destined for the short hair hall of fame. With longer hair, Kristin looks younger and more vibrant; short hair doesn't flatter her skin or smile. We hope she’s using extensions to get her former follicles back to the perfect length.

Worst Short Hair
Jennifer Lawrence
While we love J-Law and her humble Hollywood attitude, this cropped ‘do is not her best look. A short bob makes this Hunger Games star look more severe, less approachable and older. We like Jennifer with her natural (yes, natural!) honey brown blond locks in long layers.

Worst Short Hair
Pamela Anderson
Perhaps one of the most shocking celebrity hair chops in history (with the exception of Britney's head shave), Pam went from rock star girlfriend with the mandatory big hair to an Audrey Hepburn wannabe. Pam's shorn strands appear Shirley Temple-esque, and the amount of bleach and heat needed to make her newly clipped locks look presentable creates more damage and dryness. Her new style is just not bombshell enough for this former Baywatch babe.

Worst Short Hair
Julianne Hough
This striking blonde is used to getting attention for her dance moves and girl-next-door appeal, but she dared to reach shear perfection with a side-swept pixie. And while Julianne's hair has Peter Pan charm, the style feels awkward and androgynous for a sexy dancer. We're looking forward to the days when Julianne can once again swish her hips and hair around on the dance floor.
