- On Saturday, the always-amazing Gabrielle Union debuted a new look, which shows off her now much-shorter natural curls, on Instagram.
- The 48-year-old actress shared several pictures of her new, shorter cut, and explained the post's caption that she specifically wanted to make the change now, when everything is going so great in her life.
- "So, I did a thing 🤗," Union wrote in the post's caption. "The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new. #SummerChop #FlawlessChop #FlawlessCut."
Gabrielle Union is loving her new look.
The 48-year-old actress debuted her short, natural curls in an Instagram post on Saturday, in which she shared the story behind her big chop decision. And, spoiler alert, that story is actually a drama-free, non-story—which, as Union pointed out, is exactly why the timing of the haircut is so important.
"So, I did a thing," Union wrote, along with the smiling, blushing and waving emoji. "The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy."
