Jennifer Love Hewitt [2] is going lighter for the summer. On May 5, the actor posted a selfie on her Instagram Stories, and not only was her hair colour [3] different, but the style was also much shorter.

The star paid a visit to Hollywood-based hairstylist Nikki Lee [4] at Nine Zero One Salon [5]. For the transformation, the duo decided to cut Love Hewitt's mid-shoulder length hair by a few inches, leaving it just grazing her collarbone. Additionally, the actor stepped away from her dark brunette colour [6] and instead opted for a "bronde" hue thanks to the addition of some scattered highlights.

There is nothing like a shorter cut [7] for the hotter months. Switching up your hairstyle is one of the easiest ways to refresh your look ahead of a new season. If you're a bit more daring when it comes to your beauty choices, consider a more dramatic style like the "octopus" cut [8] or even the "jellyfish" haircut [9] to really turn some heads. However, if you prefer something a bit more understated, opt for a new hair colour that's not too far from your original hue.
