Cheryl Cole has shocked the nation by ditching her larger-than-life locks for a choppy dark blonde lob (long bob).
The singer has been keeping a low profile since she got the heave-ho from the US X Factor, so it was a bit of a shock for us all when she got caught by the paps with her brand new strawberry blonde locks.
Cheryl's colourist, L'Oréal Paris colour expert Amie Wilson, said: ‘This look is the smoky eyes of hair. It's the perfect shade of dark blonde and is fab for the summer.'
Well, we totally agree and applaud the Girls Aloud star on the big change.
Cheryl, who turns 28 today, is expected to officially unveil her brand new hair at the £20,000 birthday bash she's rumoured to be throwing in London tomorrow evening.
