If you've dubbed 2018 the year you'll actually get one of the 200 short haircuts you pinned to your Pinterest boards, the first step in your journey is this URL. It's where you'll hopefully scoop up your inspiration image to take to your salon, where you'll discuss the details of how the celebrity-approved cut it will interact with your hair type, the time you actually have in the a.m. to style, and all the other ins and outs of making a ginormous hair change. 

Good news is that you have plenty of looks to choose from, because going short is a trend that continues to reign, no matter the calender year. From choppy pixies to chin-length bobs, these are a few of the cutest looks worth considering.

Don't let anyone ever tell you the pixie isn't a versatile haircut. Ask for a little length to play with—and maybe to pin to the side like The Crown star Claire Foy.

If you lean towards an extreme side-part, Scarlett Johansson's pixie might be a solid option for you. The longer length on top almost acts as built-in side-swept bangs, but the strands also easily can be slicked back, spiked, or accessorized.
