Getting a haircut can be daunting, especially when you’re not sure what you want. While you don’t have to cut it super short like Gina Rodriguez or Sara Ramirez, a fresh new hairstyle instead of the same old trim can take years off your look and show off a new side of your personality. This season, it’s all about taking a few inches off and getting a trendy, wavy lob (or wob) – see Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde and Kathy Chow!

Speaking out on Instagram, she says:
“I cut my hair for a film and there is nothing more freeing then realizing your beauty exists from within. I am not my hair. I am not my weight. I am not my skin color. I am love, I want to be love with every interaction, with every decision I make for myself, with every failure and success. You should try it. I dare you. Let go of what you think would make you more beautiful and discover you have all you need already inside.”
Power to you, Gina!
