Zendaya's new haircut [2] "refresh" is major goals. On 22 Aug., the actor posted a picture of herself on Instagram showing off her freshly styled [3] look, and yes, you will probably be bringing this image with you to your next hair appointment. Since cutting her hair [4] back in 2022, it seems the actor was due for an update. Written across the post-appointment photo shared on her Instagram Stories, Zendaya said she "needed a little refresh."

Her look by celebrity hairstylist Sarah Shears [5] is in keeping with the bob haircut [6] trend that dominated this summer. She kept her hair cropped short with the ends just grazing her shoulders. After a colour touch-up and a light dusting, which is where dead ends are removed but more length is retained than with a trim, she added a few curls for more volume and opted for a side parting [7]. She paired the cut with a casual white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a simple black necklace.

Bobs have been a part of the summer '23 starter pack. The trend was set in motion by Hailey Bieber [8], who revealed her own version in early January. Since then, celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Kim Kardashian, and Cara Delevingne have all debuted different iterations, and trends like the Italian bob [9], the "job," [10] and the inverted bob [11] have been taking Tiktok by storm.

Though summer is coming to an end, a change of season is the perfect excuse for a hair reset. Whether you want a dusting like Zendaya or a more dramatic chop, you can't go wrong with a chic, short hairstyle [12]. Take a closer look at Zendaya's hair below.
