No need to wait until Summer to debut a new 'do [1]. If you're angling to up your sexy factor, take a cue from these stars and consider a cut [2]. Yes, it's a pretty significant commitment, but there are plenty of levels — from lobs to buzz cuts — that'll inspire new confidence. Plus, you can always grow it out when you're over it.
Sleek Side Swoop
Olivia Wilde [4]'s side-swept laters take the stiffness out of a classic bob.
Modern Chop
Amandla Stenberg's cool reddish colour and curls are a fresh spin on this nod to the '90s haircut.
Faux Bob
When you're not ready to commit to a full snip, fake it like Olivia Culpo does here with tucked-under waves.
Straight Forward
Hailey Baldwin's centre parting, supersmooth strands, and slight bump under at the ends can read both as all business or ready for play.
Painted Partings
Just when you thought a buzz cut couldn't get any more badass, Danai Gurira's hair art proved us all wrong.
Razor-Edge Cut
Update a sharp and supersmooth asymmetrical bob with a deep side parting and ear tuck like Mila Kunis [5] does with this look.
Prickly Pixie
Katy Perry [6]'s spiked-top platinum pixie serves serious '80s vibes but doesn't at all look dated.
Short and Sweet
Add some curls to a slightly longer pixie like Ruth Negga to camouflage any weird grow-out stages.
Beachy and Blunt
Re-create Margot Robbie's look by adding a subtle wave throughout. It'll give blunt bobs a bit of texture without looking too casual.
Layered Bob
A deep swoop and light layers add texture and tons of sexy like Taraji P. Henson serves here.
Double Textured Lob
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's lob was made even more fresh by mixing a sleek top half with textured ends.
Mid-Length Chop
Coco Rocha's length that's slightly in between a classic bent bob and a longer lob is a solid comprise if you don't want to go too short.
Modern Marcel
Add fun accents to shorter styles like Janelle Monae's forehead curl, which looks like a newer version of a classic Marcel wave.
Wash 'n' Gadot
If you already have a bit of natural texture, no need to overstyle it. Gal Gadot opted for a slightly longer cut that looks good air dried.
Slept-On Pixie
Pixies don't have to be perfect. Case in point: Zoë Kravitz's sultry bedhead version.
Curvy Cut
Consider cutting a longer bob that hits at the shoulders so that you have some flexibility to add more shortening waves like Maren Morris wears here.
Far-From-Basic Bob
Take a cue from Rowan Blanchard on all the ways you can style a cool, classic, blunt bob — she's a pro.
Multitonal Layers
Don't stop at the cut — add some colour like Paris Jackson's ombre to help bring out the dimension in your style.
Classic Lob
Taraji P. Henson's smooth and slightly longer style is the perfect go-between for both casual and more formal occasions.
Forever-Fresh Fringe
Michelle William's platinum pixie is the epitome of when you find a good thing, stick with it. It's timeless.
Couture Curls
Buzzed sides and vibrant colour up top, like Anika Noni Rose totally pulls off here, are a Summer switch-up worth trying on textured tresses.
Snipped Ends
Take notes from Jenna Dewan Tatum that even if you're not ready for a dramatic cut, clean and trimmed ends make a big style impact.
Old Hollywood Glam
Cate Blanchett [7]'s semiwavy layers add a retro vibe to a more modern, textured bob.
Polished Definition
You can get texture without it feeling messy. Lauren Conrad [8]'s waves on her blunt bob are still super smooth and shiny.
Wavy Lob
The movement and bend on Paris Hilton [9]'s 'do makes it look more youthful and takes away the aging elements often associated with shorter hair.
