If your hair is on the shorter side (we're talking not past chin-length), you may think you're limited when it comes to short hairstyles. So you give in to simply smoothing down your pixie with a boar bristle brush or straightening your bob to make it look somewhat stylish. 

But with the right accessories and products, you can get out of a hair rut fast. Check out the celebrity hairstyles below for ideas on how to style your short strands without having to block off several hours on your schedule.

You'd think Prince Charles would spend time teaching his grandson, who will one day be king, all about his future royal duties. But instead, Prince George is getting early lessons from grandpa on how to have a green thumb.

Speaking to BBC Radio from his country estate, Highgrove, Prince Charles revealed the third-in-line to the British throne is already developing a love for nature at just two years old.

"The most important thing is I've got him planting a tree or two here," Prince Charles said, saying his grandson has helped him dig around in the garden. 

Prince Charles is famously fond of gardening and has admitted he talks to his plants, saying it actually makes them "respond."

It's his hope, he says, that his grandson will develop the same passion.

"That's the way I think, when you are very small, and then each time they come you say, 'Do you see how much the tree has grown?', or whatever, and you hope that they take an interest," he said.

Prince Charles added that he has made the gardens more child-friendly to accommodate visits from Prince George, 2, and Princess Charlotte, who will turn 1 next month.

But granddad isn't the only royal grandparent Prince George loves to spend time with. Recently, we learned of his adorable nickname for great-grandma Queen Elizabeth. "He calls her ‘Gan-Gan,’” the prince's mother, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge revealed.

He just keeps getting cuter.

Dylan Penn is officially more in vogue than ever. 

The 24-year-old stars in a jewelry editorial for Vogue Brazil's new issue. But it's hard to focus on pretty much anything other than the stunning 24-year-old's palpable resemblance to mega-babe mom Robin Wright.  

Posing in a series of shimmering gowns and stunning accessories, Penn looks right at home in front of the camera -- a place she has spent a lot of time since signing with Premier Model Management in 2014. 

The elaborate looks are a bit more covered up than some of the shoots she has done in the past, and we love seeing her high fashion side shine through.

Penn has revealed in the past that she'd like to focus on acting, but we'd be pretty happy to see her in many more fashion shoots to come.

The Ones That Work

First Place: Tea Tree Oil
All three dermatologists we spoke to for this story put tea tree oil at the top of their list for zit zapping, and research shows that it can be effective in treating mild-to-moderate acne.
Best for: Deep, inflamed pimples
How it works: It's an anti-inflammatory and has antibacterial properties, so it'll soothe that angry red breakout while fighting the bacteria that's fueling it, says Ranella Hirsch, MD, board-certified dermatologist in Boston.
Use it like this: Get a 5 percent tea tree oil solution, then dilute with equal parts water, to minimize the chances of irritation (if you can't find a 5 percent product online, create your own by diluting a stronger one with more water). Wet a cotton ball with the watered-down oil and apply to the pimple once or twice a day until it's gone.

Second Place: Aspirin
Best for: Blackheads and whiteheads
How it works: Aspirin is really a natural form of salicylic acid, the pimple buster you find in tons of OTC acne products. In addition to helping soothe inflamed skin, its exfoliating powers break down the blackhead or whitehead that's plugging up your pore, says Sejal Shah, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York.
Use it like this: Crush two aspirin tablets, mix with 2 tablespoons of water and apply that mixture to the pimple for a minute or two, then rinse it off, says Rachel Nazarian, MD, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Make sure you're using aspirin that hasn't expired—it'll be less potent if its use-by date is long gone.

Third Place: Apple Cider Vinegar
Best for: Blackheads, whiteheads and deep, inflamed pimples.
How it works: Apple cider vinegar hasn't been studied on acne, but our skin experts cite its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties as reasons why it can help clear up a zit. It's also astringent, so it minimizes oil, says Hirsch, and has several acids that help exfoliate away dead skin cells.
Use it like this: Just like with tea tree oil, you need to dilute ACV before you put it on your skin. Take equal parts water and vinegar, soak a cotton pad in the mixture and put it on the pimple for a minute or two. Do this once or twice a day until you see improvement.

Fourth Place: Green Tea
Best for: Deep, inflamed pimples
How it works: Full of antioxidants, it helps calm angry breakouts and also fights acne-causing bacteria, says Nazarian.
Use it like this: Brew some green tea, then apply it to your skin in one of two ways. First option: let the teabag cool to room temperature, then put the teabag directly on the zit and hold it there for up to 20 minutes (green tea is soothing, not irritating like some of these other remedies, so you can leave it on longer). Or take the brewed tea, let it cool, soak a washcloth in it and apply the washcloth to your face for the same amount of time. Continue daily until the zit is gone.

The Ones That Don't Work (and Might Lead to More Acne)

The Worst: Rubbing Alcohol
Why it's bad: Rubbing alcohol is so drying that it strips oils and proteins from your skin, leaving it more inflamed than it already was and likely making your pimple worse, says Shah.

2nd Worst: Toothpaste
Why it's bad: Natural or not, "toothpaste is a concentrated cleanser meant to clean teeth, one of the toughest surfaces in your body," says Nazarian. "Your skin is way too sensitive for that." Cue dryness, irritation and a bigger acne situation on your hands.

3rd Worst: Lemon Juice
Why it's bad: It can reduce oil, but pure citrus can also be bothersome to skin because of the fruit acids it contains, says Shah. It could also react to sunlight, causing a rash or leaving your skin unintentionally lighter, she adds. (There's a reason people seeking a blonder 'do put it on their hair before they sit out in the summer sun).

4th Worst: Honey
Why it's bad: The sweet stuff probably won't hurt your skin (it's said to have wound-healing properties, after all), but a recent study in BMJ Open found that it's not effective in treating acne. Plus, if you're breakout-prone, honey could lead to more breakouts because it's so thick that it traps dirt and bacteria on your skin.

This bow tie pasta takes itself a little too literally.

But this cheddar bow tie is extra sharp.

No matter how old you are -- whether you're shopping for the prom, the red carpet, your wedding, or your first day of kindergarten -- these food-inspired bow ties by the Netherlands-based designer Rommy Kuperus are the best tongue-in-cheek accessory you could wear.

The bow ties are an offshoot of Kuperus' successful Etsy line of bags and purses made to look like oversized, cartoonish versions of sandwiches, popsicles, pizzas and waffles, and they're made of foam (so they're light) and attached to your shirt collar via alligator clips (which means you can technically clip them on to anything).

Kuperus also collaborates on the pieces; a customer writes that Kuperus sent along sketches of the custom-made taco tie throughout the design process. The site says she'll also work with you on colors for the marshmallow tie. "Everything is possible!" Kuperus says.

Prices on her Etsy store range from $40 to $60 for each tie, and customers who have bought them (and actually wear them in public) say they get an extra helping of compliments.

Is a whole new form of "manscaping" going to spread across the legs of men everywhere?

As featured on a segment on the Today Show this week, a survey conducted by Men's Health last year showed that nearly half of the 580 men who responded said they "legscape," which means they either shave their legs completely or trim their leg hair.

To demonstrate, Today Show host Carson Daly actually shaved his legs on air. And though co-host Tamron Hall was uninterested in Daly's velvety leg, women seem to like the smooth feeling. According to a more recent Women's Health survey, a majority of the 663 women who responded said they either "love a man with clean shaven legs" (22.2 percent), or "don't like clean shaven, but do appreciate a man who trims leg hair down" (28.5 percent).

Still, a majority (51 percent) of guys said they would never touch their leg hair.

What do you think about men shaving or trimming their leg hair? Would you ever do it?

Where has Jessica Simpson been the past few months? Running her billon dollar fashion empire? Raising her two adorable children? Hanging out with her hunky hubby? Probably a combination of all three.

Music festival season is upon us. And kicking things off is arguably the biggest, most popular one of them all, Coachella. 

And you know what that means. Flash tats and flower crowns and fanny packs, oh my. These days, the weekend-long festival in Indio, California, seems to be more about the fashion than the music. People show up dressed to the nines, and the street style photographers are there to capture every minute of it.  

In honor of this, erm, expressive time of year, we've rounded up the 15 most "Coachella" outfits in the recent history of Coachella.

Olivia Pope ... er, Kerry Washington didn't find fashion until later in her life. And since then, she's really handled catching up like a pro.

Take, for example, her most recent look: a sleeveless, ankle-length, full-skirted Dolce & Gabbana gown covered in poppies that retails for $6,495.

Washington, who wore the look for the premiere of her new HBO drama "Confirmation," looked absolutely stunning in the elaborate gown. Pairing its boldness with an updo and strappy black heels, she appeared to take a page out of the handbook of fellow fashion icon FLOTUS.

The "Scandal" star appeared alongside friends and co-stars for the premiere of the film, in which she plays Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court. 

Playing another fierce female character and looking fierce while doing it? Shocking.

It's not like it's a contest or anything, but if it was, Britney Spears is definitely winning when it comes to throwback photos. 

On Thursday, the 34-year-old shared a photo of herself and Leonardo DiCaprio, who is throwing up a "West Cost" sign and looking like a total dork with his slightly off-center Boston Red Sox cap.  

Spears simply captioned the snap "#tbt," but if we had to guess, her patch-covered jean vest and bucket hat make us think this was taken around 2001 or 2002.

Regardless of the actual date, the photo is just peak early aughts -- a time when Britney was pop music's reigning princess and Leo was the king of the world.

Something magical happened during James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke" special on Tuesday: Audiences everywhere witnessed Jennifer Lopez receive a text message from Leonardo DiCaprio.  

"You mean tonight, boo boo? Club-wise?"

That was the text Lopez received from the Oscar winner after Corden prank-texted him from her phone, writing that the singer wanted to "cut loose" and signing it "J.Lo, you know, Jenny from the Block."

It was pretty great, but did it really happen? Are we to believe the fates aligned in such a way that it would produce such a viral moment?

According to J.Lo, yes. 

After "American Idol" on Thursday night, the 46-year-old told reporters that DiCaprio was pretty understanding when she admitted the text exchange was actually a joke. 

"I did have to explain it to him," Lopez said. "He was a great sport about it ... I was like, 'So hey, this is what had happened! I was with James Corden ...'"

The "Idol" judge said she didn't end up going out to the club with DiCaprio that night, but it seemed like there were no hard feelings about the prank. 

"He was totally like, 'Do whatever you want, I don't care,' Lopez said. "I don't know if he'd say that today!"

Whatever you say, Boo Boo.

This little girl comes frolicking in our direction, sees me, stops dead and starts running back screaming for her parents. And then my Czech date mimes, 'Mama, I saw a terrorist.'

I took off my overcoat and decided to carry it in my hand and bear the cold. Why? So that any passerby with -- well -- cruel intentions got a full view of the impenetrable shields of Western capitalism that simultaneously decorated and branded me as 'undangerous' from head to heel.

On Sunday night, Hollywood heavyweights gathered for the annual iHeartRadio Music Awards, but of course, BFFs Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were the pair that stole the show. 

The two singers stormed the red carpet separately, though we think they were in cahoots as they each arrived in skin-tight jumpsuits. 

Swift dazzled in a black sequin Saint Laurent number, while Gomez looked red hot in Mugler. 

But these ladies did more than just slay the sartorial game last night-- both picked up awards, too. Selena scooped up the "Triple Threat Award," for her killer singing, acting and dancing skills, and Swift won "Female Artist of the Year," "Album of the Year," "Best Tour," and "Most Meme-able Moment." Talk about a power friendship.
