Short or long hair? Here's what 12 celebs look like before and after the chop

It might have been a reaction to a tough period in her personal life, but we daresay her collarbone-skimming cut is her best, most true-feeling look yet.

Pixie JLaw? Or JLaw with extensions? Why not both?

Another case of post-life-change hair, but it's not too out-there to say most of us still think of Katy Perry with long raven locks.

Because of the frenzy surrounding it (and the incredibly inconvenient time, cough cough), some of us will never forget when Kim Kardashian Got a Haircut. But she does always go back to long.

Her platinum crop has become a signature, but do you miss Miley with hair that reaches her shoulders?

Never forget her V for Vendetta buzz cut (that grew out into an ace pixie).

There's a rather vocal camp that's calling for ScarJo to grow her long-on-top crop out, but do you agree?

Kylie experiments with her look frequently (here's why), but maybe she's just trying to accomplish the same thing as we are with this slideshow: to prove that girls can do both.

KStew = one of the coolest, shortest heads of hair in the game—especially after she buzzed it. Kind of weird to think of her with anything else, but maybe you were into it?

Nobody in Hollywood loves playing with her hair more. And nobody better exemplifies the point that it's not about thinking if you can pull it off—it's about just going for it.
