Looking for the safest long-to-short haircut? Without a doubt, it’s the lob. Khloe Kardashian took the plunge with minimal layers and blunt ends. Best part? You can pretty much wear every hairstyle you can with super long hair.

If you love textured, messy styles, the bob is the look for you. Try a piece-y, voluminous style that hits above the shoulders like Demi Lovato.

Don’t be fooled. The bob is one of the most personalized looks you can get. Nicole Richie wears her bob angled with longer strands in the front.

Versatility doesn’t lack with lobs or bobs. Jennifer Lawrence styled her hair into a half-up, half-down look with lots of volume at the crown.
