Street Style Hair: Short and Sweet

Making the switch from relaxed to natural by doing the big chop signals the birth of a brand new you. We love and adore hair of all lengths, but there's something sweet and sassy about a daring diva who rocks a cropped cut.  Be inspired by these free-spirited natural wonders.
