Crops...and not the tops....


Whoever thought when Britney infamously shaved her bleached locks before descending into a mental breakdown that produced arguably the best album of her career that it would kickstart a trend that is still rampant with A-List females across the world to this date. Charlize Theron recently said goodbye to her golden curls for a film role and kissed goodbye to any lucrative hair product campaigns for the next few years.



Sure, Britney wasn't the first to take hold of the clippers...Demi Moore parting with her long, glossy locks in G.I. Jane showed the world just how stunning she really is, while Natalie Portman's close shave in V for Vendetta got her beauty and acting skills some serious attention. But for every genetically gifted Demi, there's a potato headed Britney who just couldn't wait to get a weave on that stubbly head to hide a multitude of sins.


Anne Hathaway recently cropped her glorious tresses for a film role, making her look less like the raven haired screen siren the world has come to love, and more like a pre-pubescent schoolboy.



Another actress parting with her locks for a movie role was High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens. When the chocolate brown waves were gone, a soccer mom haircut aged the pretty starlet. If only she was so neat and tidy down below (nobody's forgotten those naked pics, V-Hud).

Not even flawless bone structure can save some of the most beautiful women in the world from the perils of looking like an egg head. Yeah, Demi looked fierce, but none of the current crop - pardon the pun - of Hollywood starlets are styling it up enough to pull off such a harsh look. Must do better, ladies.
