Update: Well, that was fast! Just days after getting her lob haircut, Biles refreshed her hair by adding some wavy extensions in a copper color. It's a subtle change but we can't say it's not perfect for the summer weather that's to come.

Original story: We've always said there's no better time to switch up your look than the springtime [2], and it looks like even Simone Biles agrees. On April 22, the athlete revealed she traded in her midback-length hair for a long bob haircut (informally referred to as the "lob" [3]) via a photo shared with her nearly four million Instagram followers.

"Um 💇🏾‍♀️ I did a thing," she captioned the picture. Biles also shared photos of her hair journey via her Story. In one slide, she shared a side-by-side image documenting how much length she was able to retain last year just between June and September and in the next, she shared a photo of the new cut. "Not sure if I like it yet but....I did a thing," she wrote.

For what it's worth, we think the cut looks stunning, and it's yet another reminder of why we think bobs are the perfect spring hairstyle [4].
