This cute cut on Zoe McLellan is a result of a well-shaped head and fine, straight hair.  Said hair type conforms best to the head as any other hair type with thicker density or body will have much different results when their manes are cut in this manner.

Have you gone short for the hot weather or maybe you just prefer cropped styles all year long?   Perhaps you'd like to do something daring like Zoe McLellan here and just "spike it up".  Hair spray, especially freezing spray will help it to stay in place, yet be careful not to use too much and be sure to shampoo it out daily being careful that hairspray build up could result.  Should your spikes not look just right, visit the salon and ask them to trim it accordingly and advise you on alternate products that would help if you determine you want to make this style a habit.
