Here's What Selena Gomez Looks Like With Shorter Hair (UPDATE)

Update (December 16, 3:12 p.m. EST): Earlier this month we told you that Selena Gomez was rocking a new layered lob, but after viewing a post from songwriter Justin Tranter’s Instagram account, it begs the question: Did she go even shorter? The photo (which was taken pretty late last night) shows a subtle difference in hair length. And that coupled with her applying liquid eyeliner in a dimly-lit room is everything we need to kickoff our weekend.

Selena Gomez isn’t a stranger to flawless hair. Whether it's sideswept fringe, sleek strands, or high ponytails, Gomez is all about looking her best on tour and on the red carpet. Yesterday the star hit the scene in a new style that wasn’t as dramatic as her birthday cut (remember when she cut six inches?), but it definitely made us do a double take.

The new style is a layered cut that’s perfect for the pending winter season—keeping your hair longer for the colder months is so passé. We haven’t spotted the new length on Instagram (which is slightly weird considering she’s the queen of Instagram), but the paparazzi caught her out and about in L.A., and we’re waiting with bated breath for more pictures.

The new look also seems easier to maintain considering its length, but given that she doesn’t wash her hair every day ("I don't wash my hair every day, which may sound gross, but it's actually really bad for my hair," she told Allure earlier this year), the new cut doesn’t warrant a huge change in her routine. The new do could also mean she took out her extensions, but who cares? We still want tips on how she gets it so shiny and healthy-looking.

Maybe taking a break after having complications from lupus was perfect for her. She’s refreshed and looks better than ever. Then again, what else would you expect from a Pantene spokeswoman?
