The pixie cut seems to have the cut for celebrities wanting to make an impact on the red carpet this year - and for a good few years now. Two years ago I decided to take the plunge (for the second time in less than a decade) to go for the chop. And - for the second time in less than a decade - I hated it.

But as a mere mortal, what can you do?


I recently spotted this article on MyDaily UK which I wish I had had to hand when I was growing out my crop a year ago.
