The beauty world knows the drill: new season, new look. And since spring has finally sprung, that means warm weather hair trends are coming in hot. Hair cuts looking shorter and shorter (with celebs leading the charge!), look no further than an iconic supermodel Christy Turlington for inspiration.
When Turlington took to the spring-summer 1991 runway season, she made waves (and a major beauty statement) with her short, touseled hair. Mid-length cuts were the biggest trend at the time—but the American model (on her way to earning the title of Super) instead opted for a short, shaggy cut that leaned into her curls. It was immediately dubbed “The Christy Cut.”

Model Taylor Hill was an early adopter of the chop, cutting her hair off on a post-wedding high in 2023. “When I have short hair, nothing but the length of my hair has changed about me…but somehow I feel more myself,” she told Vogue at the time. “I had always thought there was a disconnect between my personal style and the way I looked, but now that I have cut my hair, I’ve realized that’s what it was.”
So if you’re feeling the itch, this spring’s the perfect time to give it a scratch. After all, the hair will grow back. Here’s a little inspiration to show your hairdresser:
