By Helen Wallace

Sometimes our long hair can be a drag; it takes longer to try, it’s more difficult to maintain (constant trims for split ends are required) and styling it can be time-consuming. Cutting it short can be tempting, but many women are too scared to sport such a drastic haircut.

Are you one of those people? These celebs prove that short can be feminine, chic and sassy. Maybe they’ll change your mind….
