We all know that Halle Berry is the queen of the short hairstyle. Ever since she first rocked that short cut in 1991’s Strictly Business (looking back it was definitely a bowl cut), sisters have been shedding their long hair-both natural and weaves-and running to the salon to get their tresses cut into a cute pixie style, a shaved side, a tapered cut, and a side-wept bang. Here’s our list of 12 more Madames who rock short hairstyles the best!
Malinda Williams is best known as “Bird” on the hit TV series Soul Food, but she’s also known for having the baddest short cuts in the industry. She’s currently wearing it long, but either way her hair is always so healthy looking.
Nicole Ari Parker, also a star of Soul Food, shouldn’t dare hide that face behind a curtain of hair. We’re sure this busy mom of two children also often sports a short style because it’s easier to manage.
Mary J. Blige has had more hairstyles than hit songs, but you know it’ll always be above her shoulders and it will definitely always be blond.
Monica’s hair always looks polished and she’s known for adding funky color or a new twist to her short cuts.

Rihanna keeps it funky by updating her color…often.
Nia Long said she has no problem rocking a weave in Chris Rock’s Good Hair, but don’t we just love her short?
Eva Marcille is a model, so it would have been easy for her to go long, but she keeps her look unique and looks even more striking with cropped locks.
Estelle tweaks her style with a side-swept bang, a full bang or no bang, but always looks great.
Solange cut her hair and the blogs went wild saying she was trying to stand apart from her big sister. Meanwhile, the Madame was just doing her thing, like always.
Kelis is very experimental with her hair and we never know what to expect. This is one of her more tame looks.
Keyshia Cole made her debut a few years ago in long red dyed tresses, but has been loving her curly and straight styled short cuts…and so have we.
