While there’s never a bad time to unveil a haircut, there’s no place like the red carpet to debut a dramatic new look. And that’s exactly what Demi Lovato did yesterday at the Kid’s Choice Awards.
Right before the songstress walked the award show’s red carpet, her hairstylist César Ramirêz teased the makeover on Instagram with a photo of Lovato’s strands scattered across the floor that he captioned “the big chop.”

When the star finally appeared at the Kid’s Choice Awards, it was apparent that her stylist wasn’t exaggerating. The pro took the singer’s length from long, flowing strands up to a choppy lob.
The cut is slightly angled at the back and was styled in undone bends. Not only is this texture pretty effortless to recreate at home, it’s also shows off Lovato’s caramel bayalage and layers of the cut perfectly.
