Up until this point, and unlike many other stars, Britney Spears had resisted the urge to reach for a pair of scissors and give herself a DIY haircut — but yesterday, she finally gave in and cut her bangs.

Spears posted a photo of her freshly trimmed, curtain-style bangs on Instagram on June 15 with a caption that read, "I did it I finally cut bangs." Since then, she's shared a handful of more selfies showing off her handiwork, proving she's quite fond of her new hairstyle.

Spears first started toying with the idea of cutting her grown-out fringe back in May. "I know I need bangs!!!!!," read her Instagram caption on the close-up shot of her hair hanging in her eyes. "Who would have thought bangs could make you look waaaaay younger?!?!"

Spears has always sported a side bang or long curtain bangs, but this is the first time in a while that she's had wispy curtain bangs that hit right at her eyebrows. Her new look is giving us Britney Spears Rolling Stones 1999 cover vibes, and we love it.
