When it comes to going short, summer is the perfect time for celebrities and clients alike to experiment with something braver than a bob - and with stars from Frankie Sandford to Sarah Harding rocking the short look, inspiration is everywhere.Seen at the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney and Chanel, oversized suits, mannish tailoring and boyish brogues are the new season's must-haves - and what better complement than a cute crop?
Get set for the new season with inspiration from these celebrity favourites:
Evan Rachel Wood
"I just love this haircut on Evan - it is always so refreshing when a celebrity takes a risk and opts for such a dramatic change. There is versatility within the haircut, which means she can wear it in different ways depending on her mood, but the dull blonde washes her out slightly. With her milky complexion, she could pull off rich lowlights in mahogany or slices of caramel tones."
Mark Mountney, Zoology salon group, Essex and London
Helen Flanagan
"This is a terrific look for Helen; it gives her a funky, fashionable feel. She looks like a different person; definitely more edgy than the look we've been used to for years. The delicate, short crop works with her petite features, and the colour is far better now it's a cool, ice blonde. I'm sure any hairdresser would have loved to have created such a dramatic makeover."
Julie Willis, Affinity Hairdressing, Winsford, Cheshire
Sarah Harding
"Sarah's hair really suits her. The soft, warm brown works perfectly with her skin tone and makes for a very elegant look. The shorter layered cut is almost asymmetric and is ideal for showing off her features and face shape. If I were to change anything, I'd take the graduation tighter in the back to expose her nape and exaggerate the asymmetric shape. I'd also use a volume booster and finish with a sculpting mud."
Jon Moore, Trevor Sorbie, Brighton
Frankie Sandford
"Frankie embodies sophistication with this elegant cut, and although the style makes quite a statement, it's wearable and elegant enough for salon clients. The length, texture and colour complement her feminine beauty perfectly. She inspired clients with her last look, and I'm certain this crop will be a trendsetter too."
Stuart Kirby, Real Hair & Beauty, Tunbridge Wells, Kent
