After months of wearing her hair short, Ashley Benson has finally decided to switch things up. This weekend, the 30-year-old actress said sayonara to her signature long bob and hello to waist-length hair extensions. And with her bright blue eyes and beachy blonde hair, she's giving off major mermaid vibes.

The former Pretty Little Liars star showed off her new look in a quick snapshot on her Instagram Stories and tagged the artist at hand: Violet Teriti, a hair extension expert based in Beverly Hills, California. Teriti also works with A-listers like Vanessa Hudgens, Hailey Bieber, and Kim Kardashian — to name just a few.
