Long Hairstyles or Short Cuts: Which Celebrity Hairstyles Look Better?
Celebrities are taking it off! No, not their clothes (with the exception of maybe Diablo Cody—but that’s for another post). What I’m talking about is the trend of long hairstyles getting a major makeover to short hair cuts. Today we show before and after photos and let you be the judge on which you prefer, long or short?
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hairstyle

I’m going on record as saying this is the best move Gwyneth has made since dumping Brad Pitt. While I think she’s beautiful I was beginning to wonder if all that granola she was eating was starting to affect her fashion sense. The new, shorter haircut makes her look so much sexier and up-to-date. The long hair just dragged her down. As my old hairstyling teacher once said “Hair past your shoulders is just hair. It just sits there and does nothing for you.” Amen Mrs. Salemi!
Jena Malone’s Hairstyles

This transformation is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Jena Malone goes from looking like a nondescript girl next door to a diva thanks to loosing that mass of badly colored hair. The new dark hue contrasts beautifully with her light complexion and the cut is nothing short of stellar. Good job, Jena!
Kristin Chenoweth’s Hairstyles
Before

Just like Giselle in Disney’s Enchanted put the cart before the horse when she thought she should marry Prince Charming and then get to know him, Kristin Chenoweth went against the trend and actually grew out her shorter hairstyle.
Two words—why? And why?
Kristin’s short hairstyle suited her small face so much better and, quite frankly, looked a hell of a lot healthier. Now Kristin’s ends are as fried as the Colonel’s secret recipe chicken. Not to mention how “Barbie doll” blonde that heinous color is. She needs to get herself to her fairy godmother pronto and ask for a happily ever after makeover.
OK, it’s time for the judging. I’ve put in my two cents and now it’s your turn. Which celebrity hairstyles do you like best—the befores or the afters? Let the judging begin!

just for the record, while I do agree that Kristin looks better with shorter hair, both of those pictures are hideous! Try finding two good representations of her with different hair styles and then make the determination.
ps: the long hair? usually hair extentions… just sayin’…
Katie,
Sorry you didn’t like the pictures I chose of Kristin–please feel free to submit better ones if you can find them. I had a hard time finding ones where both her hair and she looked good so I stuck with the hair. As for her longer hair being hair extensions–I seriously doubt it in this case as those two pictures were taken a year apart. Also–why would you pay for hair extensions that hideous? Just sayin’…
