Hottest New Short Hair Styles–The Crop



Short Hair Styles
Rihanna’s short hair styles

Corinne asks:

I’ve heard the name, “crop cut,” as a name of new short hair styles that are cute, quick and easy. I remember this name for short hair styles back in the 80’s. Who wore the crop cut back in the 80’s?  Who is wearing these short hair styles now?

,,

The most famous celebrity that comes to mind, who wore the crop cut short hair styles some 20 plus years ago, is Princess Dianna. Princess Di developed an impeccable style, of which her hair, of course, played a big part.

Princess Dianna personified short hair styles we know as the “crop”

What defines ‘crop’ short hair styles is one that heavier layered on top and tapers short on the sides and back. Like any short hair style that makes a return debut like the shag or the bob, when it does return for a new run, the designing hair stylist will give it a new signature.
 
Rihanna’s short ‘crop cut’ hair style was voted the winner of “Best New Short Hair Styles,” by Elle magazine. Rihanna started a new trend for the popular short crop hair styles, that has proven the test of time. Quick and easy to style, makes it even more desirable to fashionistas and women who don’t have the time to putz with styling their hair every day. What’s not to like? Use a flat-iron to direct the fringe forward with a deep side part. Finish with a texturizing balm like, Aveda Control Paste, to add piecey spikes.

Agyness Deyn’s “Aggy” cut is a crop cut short hair styles

Super model Agyness Deyn wears the ‘crop cut’ short hair styles so well, this hair style was also in hair styling circles as the ‘Aggy” hair style. With her platnium hair color and highly texturized layers, Agyness Deyn’s crop hair cut gets another signature of it’s own. To style, work in a mouse and simply brush forward from the crown giving the fringe a side-swept direction without showing a part. Shine it up with a product like, Paul Mitchell Shine Drops for extra bling!

Victoria Beckman’s pixie cut or crop cut short hair style

I call this a pixie short hair style, which also has been around forever . . . remember Mia Farrow, in Rosemary’s Baby, but some call this a crop cut short hair style also. Never-the-less it fits the category of a short-n-easy hair style.

“Short Hair
Styles are back”
This sort of a short hair style doesn’t work for everyone. It looks fabulous on Victoria Beckham. It was a great short hair style to move into after her famous ‘inverted bob short haircut.’  It looks best on women who have a petite bone structure and who have a good sense of self. Small, well proportioned features get a big boost with this short hair style.

But if you are on the shy side, this hair style isn’t for you. Hair this short can make you feel ‘exposed’ and leave you feeling wide open for scrutiny.

    1. I loved the short bob hairstyles when they started several months ago. They looked very feminine and stylish. These latest shorter crops and pixies don’t appear very feminine and I think there is a ’stylish’ race going on with celebrities today to get the latest look. Am I the alone in thinking these celebrities have clipped their hair one too many times?
