It looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is interpreting the 60-degree weather we've been having in New York City as a sign of spring because she decided to give her hair a big chop to shed those winter dead ends. On March 11, Ocasio-Cortez hosted an Instagram Live to update her followers on the new COVID-19 relief bill, but before she dove into the nitty-gritty, her followers couldn't ignore her new long bob haircut (also known simply as a "lob").

"Oh yeah, you guys like my haircut?" said Ocasio-Cortez in the Instagram Live. "You guys are talking about it?" The representative's hairstyle hits just past her shoulders and appears to have a few long layers in it, as well as face-framing pieces that are slightly longer at the front. Ocasio-Cortez has had a lob haircut in the past but like many of us, her hair has grown out over the last year during stay-at-home orders.

While the new season hasn't arrived quite yet, Ocasio-Cortez isn't the only one getting a spring haircut early. Emma Watson, Susan Kelchi Watson, and Jessie J all recently debuted fresh, new bob hairstyles over the last month.

"Glow Up" Contestants: Where Are They Now?

As we gear up for season six of "Glow Up" on Netflix, which was just announced to be released in late 2024, we must not forget about the contestants from seasons one, two, three, four, and five, who sent us into binge-watching mode in the first place and served tons of makeup inspiration along the way.

We're Obsessed With the "Wolf Cut" Hair Trend

We don't need to tell you that shag and mullet haircuts have been all the rage for the last year — celebrity examples like Rihanna, Keke Palmer, Debby Ryan, Billie Eilish, and Miley Cyrus are all the proof you need — but a new type of haircut called the "wolf cut" is threatening to eclipse both of those styles, and it's all thanks to TikTok.
