Zoe Saldaña Debuts a New "French Bob" Haircut

If you've been toying with the idea of cutting your hair shorter this summer and are looking for a sign to jump in the deep end and do it, just look to Zoe Saldaña as your beauty guide. On Tuesday, Saldaña debuted what we're calling the It haircut of the summer: the French bob.

Celebrity hairstylist and founder of Roz Haircare Mara Roszak took to her Instagram to show off Saldaña's new do. With rounded edges and minimal layers with blunt lines that hit just at the actor's shoulders, the French bob is effortlessly chic and voluminous, giving that je ne sais quoi for your summer hair look. While the Avatar star looks fabulous no matter her hair length, this short cut is high on our list of favorite looks of all time.

"Someone got a MAJOR summertime Frenchie Bob chop," Roszak captioned the video, which showed the stylist chopping 10 inches of the actor's hair. She was inspired to give the actor, who has been filming in France for the last four months, the versatile and quintessential cut that embodies the French lifestyle.

Saldaña is just one of many of our favorite celebs that have said goodbye to their long strands as of late, and is wearing this season's hottest haircut: the bob. And for good reason: The bob is universally flattering on all hair types, and is easy to maintain. (Plus, it will help keep you feel cool in the hot humid weather).

To style this particular cut, Roszak first cleansed Saldaña's hair with the  RŌZ Foundation Shampoo & Conditioner. Then she pumped the new RŌZ MILK Hair Serum (launching Wednesday) to damp hair before giving Saldaña a silky smooth blowout.

So whether you're opting for something more punk rock like the wixie or wanting to channel your inner Parisian, go the French bob route — you can't go wrong with going shorter.
