Millie Bobby Brown is *the* Gen Z it-girl, so, it's no surprise that she's one to watch when it comes to up-and-coming beauty trends. I mean, as shown with her baby braids and Tinkerbell topkot 'dos, the star is always ahead of the curve. And now, she's only gone and switched up her chest-length locks for a much, much shorter look. Warning: you may want to chop off all your hair after seeing her new style...
To debut her shorter hair length, Millie took to Instagram Stories with a selfie alongside her boyfriend, Jake Bongiovi. In the pic, we can see that she has had her long hair extensions removed to reveal her natural bob cut.
To compare, here is a recent grid post of Millie's that features her with hair extensions in:
Plus, another with her sporting XXL mermaid waves:
And below is Millie's most recent IG selfie where you can her natural length locks in all their glory:
It's chin-skimmingly short!
Everyone's clicking on...
Hair aside, can we also just take a mo' to acknowledge how cute these two are? Not the "i chose you!!" caption... oh, and how could I forget to mention the accompanying T-Swift song? SO CUTE.
We not only ship #Jillie (or is it #Make?) but we're also so here for Millie embracing her natural hair length. Bobs for the win – that's what I say, anyway!
