Lauren Conrad debuts dramatic new haircut and we love it

She may be known for her long locks, but it looks like Lauren Conrad has decided to switch things up.

The former Hills star teased fans over her new 'do on social media a few days ago. It showed her long blonde hair being tied into a ponytail before a pair of scissors cut a huge portion of it off. She captioned the video on her Instagram story:

"Bye!"

And fans have been waiting for a glimpse of the new mum's look ever since. But now the fashion designer has shared the first photos of her new style - and we absolutely adore it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BbNjUJ4nNGJ/ Her hairdresser, Kristin Ess, also shared another view of Lauren's new chop. She captioned it:

“Last week we travelled three years back in time and returned to the chop that kicked off my bob and lob obsession on my original queen. #ClearTheShoulders"

“Yeah, I just cut it off. Honestly, it’s more of a time saver. "I have to blow dry my hair while my son is napping and it doesn’t always last that long so less hair is less time.  "I don’t have time for a lot of hair.“
