Madelaine Petsch said goodbye to her signature long locks and hello to a trendy bob.

Petsch, 29, took to Instagram on Monday, July 15, to show off her new ‘do. Her auburn hair, which previously cascaded past her chest, was cut a few inches below her shoulders. Petsch completed her fresh cut with wispy bangs and layers.

While showing off her lob, Petsch parted her hair down the middle and styled her tresses in a blowout. She paired her coiffure with a white tank top, silver earrings and a burgundy manicure.

For glam, the Strangers: Chapter 1 actress donned soft makeup including mascara, rosy cheeks and pink lips.
