If you have ever wanted to chop your hair off, all you have to do is look to the stars for some inspiration. We mean celebrity women, of course - many of them have been chopping their locks off. Some celebrities have been rocking the pixie for years while some just recently made the decision to go short. Either way, they make us want to go short as well.
There are women who always seem to cut their hair short after a breakup as if they are determined to show off their independence any way they can. Some celebrities, like Scarlett Johansson, often go from long to short multiple times just to give themselves a fresh start. Johansson has stated that she likes changing up her hair because it's all part of her creative personality. "I had a rich childhood," the actress said. "A lot of kids growing up have their creativity kind of squashed and not accepted. But I was very lucky my parents let me do my own thing."
If you're looking for inspiration and motivation to cut your hair short, you came to the right place. Check out these 20 celebs who rocked the pixie cuts in 2018.
19 Zoe Kravitz Gets An Edgy Haircut
This woman is known to be super cool and she is also quite edgy so she took the rockstar look up a notch. She can thank her hairstylist Nikki Nelms for making her pixie look so awesome. She has very delicate features and this hairstyle really shows them off. She has had the style for over a year now and it goes from dark to blonde frequently. She has gone from an ice blonde to a dark natural color, with variations in between. A color change is no big deal because it grows out quickly.
18 Michelle Williams Loves The Short Look
Michelle Williams has had a pixie cut for years. You sure wouldn't know it judging by her movies, but that's where wigs come in. She's had her pixie cut in numerous lengths and styles and every one of them is gorgeous. “What Matilda [Williams' daughter with Heath Ledger] would love is for her mum to grow out the cropped hair, though that's unlikely to happen any time soon.
I've really grown into it - I feel like myself with short hair.
And it's been a really long time since I had long hair, five years, Of course, the only people who like it are gay men and my girlfriends. Straight men across the board are not into this hair!”
17 Scarlett Johansson Embraces Short Hair
Scarlett certainly isn't someone that shies away from changing her hair, she's done it a lot. Now that she has a pixie, she has styled it in every which way, including a mohawk and a mullet which she rocked in 2003. "I had a serious Florence Henderson haircut for a while," the actress has said.
"There was a total party going on in the back of my head! I had a 'mullet pride' shirt that I wore."

Cara Delevingne, for a long time, had long blonde hair that we have become used to seeing during her modelling career. But she shook up her look in 2017 when she started to rock a pixie cut and she's been rocking the style ever since. Mara Roszak, her hairstylist said this about her client: “For her hair type, I don't want it to ever be too blunt. Because she has a really awesome natural wave and her hair is really thick, I essentially cut it to create hidden layers," she explained.
15 Katy Perry Goes For the Platinum Look
If anyone can pull off a color change, it's Katy Perry because her hair has been a dozen different colors. These days, she is sporting an edgier pixie in a gorgeous platinum blonde color.

she said. "As long as I can wear a wig, I can be any character and in real life, I can be myself."

When Kristen Stewart shaved her head and dyed the remaining strands blonde, she shocked us all. We were used to the girl with the long chestnut hair and it took us by surprise. Since her buzz cut, she has allowed it to grow out into a messy pixie cut that she wears in varying forms.

I'm sore.”
11 Agyness Deyn Goes By How She Is Feeling
This supermodel-turned-actress said her hairstyles change based on how she is feeling. "It really depends on how I'm feeling," the model told Fashionologie about her famous punk-influenced short hairstyle.
"It's something I like to express in addition to the way I dress. I've done that all the way through growing up.
You just get to the point of shaving it all off, and I've gone through years where I dye it, shave it, grow it out, and have fun with it all over again."

Halsey first cut her hair into a pixie cut in 2016 and this year, we saw her go platinum at the Vanity Fair event. She has had her hair many different colors like her blue look of last year but she seems to be loving the short look more than she did the long hair.

Turns out a smile isn't such an awful look for me after all," she wrote in the caption of her post.
9 Kate Hudson Cut It All Off
Kate Hudson had pretty much always had the same look since she started in Hollywood, so it was a surprise when she buzzed all her hair off. "It's funny, too, because when [it] first started, I didn't think about it because it was (for) the role," she explained to Jimmy Kimmel. "It was like, 'Oh, let's do this!'" She did, however, start to worry about her head. "Oh! What is the shape of my head going to look like?" she recalled thinking. "I really started to panic."

She has been rocking the style for a while now and it's a look that she feels very comfortable in it. We love it!

Haley Bennett really changed up her look when she chopped her long locks off and went for a choppy pixie. “I chopped my hair off into a pixie cut recently,” she told U.K. Marie Claire magazine.
“I'm used to dyeing or cutting my hair for work, so I'm pretty brave about trying new looks.
My hair is much easier to style now - just a spritz of Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray is great for adding texture. If I need some TLC, I'll do a Leonor Greyl hair mask.”
4 Kris Jenner Is Always Stylish
Kris Jenner has been rocking the pixie cut for quite some time now and that's because it suits her so well. She usually keeps it her natural hair color but, in this case, she went platinum blonde along with her daughter Kim Kardashian.

She's a trendy girl that loves to live a stylish and lavish lifestyle.

Whether it's her acting career or her style, she is open to new discoveries. “I don't know where I'm going to be in three years. Because I have the feeling that the future is so full of possibilities, to stop being an actress, to do something else, for me, the future is just a huge bunch of discoveries.”
2 LeToya Luckett Debuted A New Look This Year
