Kristin Kreuk Cut Her Hair Short! Upgrade/Downgrade?

Kristin Kreuk wrote about cutting her hair on her blog:

For three years I have been wanting to cut my hair. It’s been long for about 15 bloody years. If I had not been working on a television series I would have cut it a while ago. I suppose this is kind of an expression of freedom, haha. Us gals tend to have so much tied up in hair. There is like this emotional attachment to it, and it is apparently a REALLY big deal to cut it all off…in one go. I had a plethora or offers to come with, to document, and I just went in there on my own and Sarah (she is the key hairstylist on Smallville, and is freakin rad) tied it in a ponytail and sawed the sucker off…

Long hair suits her better. This style is not attractive, although she is and always will be, the most beautiful woman on the planet. :D

And hair does grow back, thank goodness.

Short hair never looks better on anyone. She looked better with long hair.

I hate her haircut! I don't think it flatters her at all. I used to think she was the most beautiful female I have ever seen, but not anymore. Plus, her face looks gaunt, I don't get why she lost weight when she was so perfect already. Her life and her body, though. Just...BLECH!!!

It's my #1. Whyyyyyyyy Kristin? Why? You were perfect as is...or rather, was. Hate the short hair.

I Can't believe it..OH MY GOD!!!... Still sweet simplicity though...BUT NO!!!!!!!

She has the prettiest face i`ve ever seen.so no matter what her hairstyle is,she still one of the most gorgeous women ever walk on earth!

She's still cute, but definitely a downgrade.

I'm too old and too impatient. If I can just get it to a point where I can clip it, I would be happy.

My fingers are crossed.

Oh my Lord, it is hot and sticky here. But, we're used to it. We evacuated to Sugar Land, TX for Katrina and it was hot as hell. I was praying for the day I would be able to come home to my humidity.

It will grow! Give it some more time. I did the bob thing once too and never again. It's cute on little girls but not as much on grown up ones. Anyway, just be glad it's not short layers. Those would take years to grow back.

Well, that will be much easier to grow out than short layers would be. I bet it gets hot down there. I was just in East Texas and it was scorching!

I did try these vitamins that are supposedly for hair, but it didn't seem to work. This is my punishment for being so impatient. Bad hair.

Thank you! She's my precious angel.

I cut from about the middle of my back to right below my shoulders when I was pregnant (she was born in August and it gets to over 100 here in Louisiana & I couldn't stand the hair). My hormones have been out of whack ever since I gave birth, and my hair started to change (the pregnancy was great; the aftermath wasn't). So, I chopped it into a bob recently. I cried all the next day.

Ah ha. That explains it. She's adorable!

I have never had extensions. I just keep my hair as long as possible (right now a couple of inches below bottom of the shoulder blades but I just got a trim). I have heard that the maintenance on extensions can be a bitch. And they can be ultra expensive, depending on what kind you get. Gelatin caps are supposed to help grow your hair out faster, I have read.

That's my daughter. I refuse to have my pic taken until my hair grows back.

Never thought about extensions. How's the upkeep on them? I have to wash my hair every day.

Do you remember what happened to Felicity when she cut her hair?? I won´t say anything else...

She has a blog??????

anyway, its looks good on her, she pulls it off. her face is a bit stretched out on pic 2, still looks good nice though and she looks even better on pic 1

Assuming that's you anyway (you also look verrry young?)

Great advice, McPerv. I can think of many women who would look better with longer hair and none who would look better with short hair. Long hair is just more feminine and attractive. Rhonda, you can grow it out or get extensions but you look very cute in your pic.

As a rule, women never look better with short hair.

Rhonda

Great advice. Don't do it! I did it and have regretted it ever since. I was always complimented on my hair and now it looks like crap.

CW show about Clark Kent. I don't watch it, but I catch the last few minutes while waiting for Supernatural to come on.

It's a testament to her cuteness that she can do something like this and still be kind of adorable(only maybe Rachel Bilson could do it). I'm getting a flirty, french exchange student vibe from her with this look.

Attn. Ladies:

In the history of Earth, only a handful of young women have looked better with short hair. She isn't one of them.

It tends to makes you look (1) more boyish and (2) older. Don't do it.

Yes, Kristin is still hot, I'd date her even if she were bald, but that doesn't mean she looks better.

Pic 2 is a bad pic.

I need to see some more pics of her to decide.

If she wants to escape the pretty/cute/innocent look she will have to get out of the shitty show Smallville, take some acting lessons and choose different roles.

Now she shouldn't leap to a slutty naked role. She should try something else because everybody has been there and done that.

I like the long hair better, I think she looked better before. Oh well, things change. She is still a cute girl.

OMG Kristin Kreuk cut her hair!!! i thought she was obligated to keep it long. wow. short hair: some girls can pull it off and some can't. Kristin is a gorgeous girl so no matter what hair style she rocks she's still going to be gorgeous. what i'm surprised by are her lips. those are some pretty full natural lips! i always assumed her to have thin lips.

Short hair is good if the girl can support it... and strangely enough she presents why its cute and why its bad in 2 pics... The first is good since it has that sort of pixie look to it and the 2nd... which shows not all faces are meant for short hair... but obviously she just has to shift it around for the right look...

Then again... I don't remember what she looks like with long hair since Smallville isn't really as big as it was so she doesn't get much attention...

Short hair is my third biggest turn off.

It looks ok, i guess. But most women look better with long hair. Its just one of those things. She is still adorable.

She's Lana from Smallville.

It doesn't look too bad. She looked better with long hair, though. She's lucky she's pretty.

Your Dad

You cant fuck up a pretty face like she has. She'd even be hot if she was bald (e.g. Natalie Portman)

I think it suits her pretty well actually.

Sierra

damn this girl, shes so annoyingly adorable and pretty. I bet shes like a disney princess and has cute little animals following her around singing about how lovely she is day and night. Shes so pretty, and with short hair no she just looks like a younger shannon sossamon whos also stunning. But tragically for her, even with short hair she can never escape Lana Lang. The most annoying character in history.

The shorter hair is fine but it looks like she's lost weight and she was always kind of tiny to begin with. Still very beautiful though.

I think Kristin Kreuk fell in a vat of cute when she was younger, like Jack Nicholson's Joker in the acid, and now she can't stop being cute no matter how much she tries. It's a curse, people.

Itachi

Damn it, Fiona. Too much alien face like Jessie Alba like this.

Kristin

We have the same first name so I gotta say she's still cute even though I hate her short hair. Grow it back, Kristin.

Fit Bitch

This type of haircut is never an upgrade for anyone.
