It's not often we see Jennifer Lopez sporting shorter hair. Long, golden locks have become a big part of her signature look. When she's not wearing her waist-long extensions, she has them up in a voluminous ponytail or in her favorite high, tight bun. She wore her hair short and natural on her hit TV show Shades of Blue but hardly ever on the red carpet, which is why the world takes notice whenever she does wear it in a chic bob. She looks so good, and it's hard to understand why she doesn't rock her hair like this more often.
The appeal of long hair is obvious. It's sexy, flowy, and somewhat empowering. But a woman who can rock a sleek shorter cut, like J.Lo, automatically looks more chic, more sophisticated, and so elegant. While most of us would hesitate to chop off our long locks, celebs can easily adjust the length of their hair with the help of extensions or wigs. But aside from being a chic and trendy cut, it is also quicker and more convenient to style for those moms with plenty of tasks on their to-do list.
More from MamásLatinas: 14 Times Kim Kardashian's hair had the world talking
Stars like Selena Gomez, who is known for having a great head of hair, rotate between shorter and longer looks quite often—and it's honestly difficult to choose which one suits them best! Recently, everyone from the Kardashian and Jenner sisters to Chiquis and Cardi B have been spotted wearing their hair shorter than shoulder length, and we are for sure digging this trend. Here's a look at a few other celebs who are making us want to go for the big chop!
Selena Gomez's hair is always on point.
Selena has one of the best heads of hair in Hollywood. The singer switches her hairstyle often and goes from long locks to shoulder length to even shorter. It looks even cuter when she wears it with her natural curly waves.
Jennifer Lopez looks amazing with a short cut.
How sleek is this straight, short hairdo? We're used to seeing J.Lo with her long and wavy locks that she wears onstage, but we definitely can get used to this shorter cut. It frames her face so beautifully and gives her a more sophisticated yet edgy look.
Kim Kardashian's asymmetrical long bob was everything.
Kim is known for her long, dark hair, and she was part of what started the trend of wearing our hair in long, gorgeous, perfectly curled waves. This shorter cut, which she doesn't wear often, makes her look edgier and more fashion-forward.
Alejandra Espinoza has such a cool look.
She has gone from a typical beauty queen to a super-cool, edgy, and stylish mom. Her short, platinum cut looks perfect on her, and not many could pull it off, but she does it flawlessly.
Chiquis Rivera can rock any hairstyle.
With a face like hers, any hairstyle simply works! Still, there's just something about her shorter hair in loose waves that makes her look so sexy—stylish yet sophisticated. She also shared a video styling her own hair and because it is so short and healthy, it only took her six minutes to blow dry it! That's so practical yet so magical.
Ana Patricia Gámez debuted this short cut in 2020.
She looks like such a princess! We are used to seeing her with long, brunette hair flowing down to her back, but we can get used to this look, for sure. With two kids, a packed schedule, and plenty of time spent in hair and makeup, she will certainly enjoy the quicker prep time when styling her locks.
Becky G is so fierce.
The singer is so petite, and shorter hair suits her so well. While she wears extensions when she is onstage or for music videos, we love seeing her rock a shorter haircut, which makes her beautiful face the focal point. This is proof that you don't need hair down to your back to look sexy.
Clarissa Molina really found her haircut.
Every woman should have a go-to signature haircut that always works on her. This one might just be Clarissa's. It makes her look youthful but also extremely polished and grown, and the contrast of the deep dark brown with the lighter color looks gorgeous on her tan skin.
This has been Adamari López's go-to cut.
Adamari has maintained her hair around this length for quite some time, and it's clear to see why. It suits her face so well and goes perfectly with her petite frame, since longer locks might be a bit overwhelming for someone her height.
America Ferrera really rocked this look.
There was a point in 2017 where the actress cut her hair and went a lot lighter than we were used to seeing her rock. We really loved how it looked on her because it gave her a fun and flirty vibe and it was so trendy at the time.
Karla Martínez just nails this cut.
She has also been wearing her hairstyle around the same length for quite some time, and we don't blame her—it looks gorgeous on her! She always wears it in a way that looks flawless and perfectly coiffed.
Demi Lovato’s lob is one of her best haircuts ever.
The singer, who is known for constantly switching up her look, showed up at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 2017 with a layered and angled shoulder-length lob that added instant edge. She has gone back and forth between this length, longer, and even shorter ever since.
Chrissy Teigen nails short hair.
Her textured lob looks SO good we almost wish she didn't grow it back out. The model has such captivating features that a shoulder-length cut really suits her.
Kylie Jenner never rocks the same length.
Kylie is known for always switching up her look. She usually wears different wigs and extensions to quickly changing her style without damaging her hair. This short, black, asymmetrical bob is so sleek and perfect and makes her look so grown and sexy.
Khloé Kardashian loves collar-bone length hair.
Khloé’s wavy bob adds some serious sex appeal to her look. With a cut like this, why would you ever go back to long strands? She has played a lot with her hair through the years, but this one was one of her best looks.
Gina Rodriguez has owned short hair previously.
The Jane the Virgin star didn't go back to long hair for a while, and we don't blame her. She looks great with just about any hairstyle, but this one definitely worked for her!
Eva Longoria's short cut makes her hair look fuller.
The actress showed off a sexy, voluminous lob in 2016 that made her look so chic and modern. Look at those gorgeous, loose curls! We would definitely love to see her go even shorter than this. With her face structure, she can definitely pull it off.
Joan Smalls' lob gave her life.
The Puerto Rican high-fashion model was spotted wearing her hair in a sleek, straight lob during Paris Fashion Week one year. The cut is so fashionable,and the model looks amazing with it.
Kendall Jenner looks so fierce with short hair.
There's really no style Kendall can't pull off. She has supermodel features that allow her to wear her hair at literally any length and it works. The collar-length cut really complements her cheekbones and makes her facial features stand out even more.
Kaley Cuoco loved her short hair.
The Big Bang Theory star’s shoulder-length lob is the perfect cut if you have longer locks and aren't ready to take the plunge just yet. All you have to do is add a few waves with a curling iron and you're good to go.
