Not to be dramatic, but we were on the edge of our seats when Ashley Graham took to Instagram earlier today to tease a new haircut. As some pre-Met Gala prep, the model posted a very exciting pic involving some scissors and locks belonging to Ashley herself. We were waiting to see the end result and *finally* we've been blessed with the after pics of the hair transformation.

Scroll through the below Instagram carousel to see the mid-haircut shot we're going on about. P.S. please can we join Ashley's glam team? Because these BTS pics seem like they're having a great time.

And – drumroll, please – this is the final result:

We weren't kidding around when we called this a hair transformation. Ashley took to her stories to show exactly how much hair she cut off pre-red carpet. Let's just say, her hairstylist wasn't being stingy with the chopping.

Speaking of hairstylists, this new 'do was created by Justine Marjan, who took to her Instagram stories to show a live demo of how she cut this new lob. The shoulder-length blunt chop is juuust a tad too long to be considered a bob, hence the longer 'lob' name.

Marjan revealed that she created the flicky ends using ghd's Curve Soft Curl Tongs, to give the look a classic feel.

If that wasn't enough, Ashley is also sporting some wet-look finger waves that cements the vintage feel to the hairstyle. Très chic.
