When Lauren Conrad went short last month, we were honestly pretty surprised. While she and her hairstylist and friend Kristin Ess are constantly snapping Instas together, Conrad’s had her long, wavy layers for so long it seemed like she’d found her signature style and was sticking to it. But as we’ve all seen with Selena Gomez and Rihanna, once celebrities get on the hair-change train, they’re usually down to keep it going. For Gomez, that meant bangs; for LC, after trading in her layers for a lob, she popped up today with an even shorter, super-blunt cut. And because Conrad’s style has aged like fine wine, of course it’s beautiful.

It’s crazy what a difference a cut makes, because where Conrad’s piecey lob was pure cool girl, her new, chin-length look is cutting-edge chic—and when so many celebrities show up with the same blunt style, you know it’s going to be everywhere soon. The reasons to love it are many. The one-length ends are super flattering, especially on straggly, frayed hair, since the look means that dry ends are just going to add more texture. If you ombréed your ends (like Jenna Dewan Tatum) and want to move on, it’s also the easiest way out, because they’ll be off in a second.

And speaking of JDT, it looks like Ess and LC took a similar route in styling, coming out with a deep side part and tons of volume at Conrad’s roots. Ess is the mastermind behind Dewan Tatum’s cut as well, so the similarity makes sense. The difference is Conrad has highlights, and they look even cooler on her short cut. The blond tips left over from her gradual ombré stand out against her darker blond strands, which creates that awesome, dimensional effect. While the trend is to normally stick with long hair for the winter—it’s like a scarf you carry everywhere—with so many good bobs in the world right now, it’s looking more appealing by the minute.
