Hailey Bieber’s New Chop Proves Why a Fresh Cut Is Worth a Thousand Words
It’s a transformative time for Hailey Baldwin. The model just married her on-again, off-again paramour Justin Bieber, which she confirmed last month by changing her surname on Instagram—a totally acceptable way to make things official on social these days. And while she has made only a few public appearances since tying the knot—walking in the recent Versace show in New York, for instance—she has been keeping things relatively low-key, even on social media, purportedly in response to an incoming flood of scrutinizing comments about her relationship. So what does one do in a time of reflection and new beginnings? A transformative haircut, of course.
Sharing her new look on Instagram Stories—a notable break from her digital detox, all for the sake of a beauty reveal—Bieber showed off her new chin-length bob, one of her shortest cuts yet. One can’t help but think that the dramatic switch-up is a reaction to her major life change; a chance for a fresh, clean start. Captioned "chopped," her newly shorn lengths were middle parted and air dried into effortless waves.
The shrewd move follows in the footsteps of her husband Justin, who, just prior to getting married in October, shaved off his signature surfer locks in favor of a dramatic buzz cut. Proof that couple that stays together also sheds hair—and emotional baggage—together. Now how's that for a promising start?
