And another one takes the chop!

Vanessa Hudgens waved goodbye to her long, “mermaid” (as she called it) hair today! Like so many — seriously, so many — other stars at the moment, she chose to finish out her summer with a shorter style. And it looks amazing!

The actress posted a before photo of her ready to go in a hair salon, showing how her blonde ombre hair seemed to nearly reach her waist. We definitely see the mermaid comparison now!

The after photos feature Vanessa with a new, much shorter ’do — and an adorable white crop top — shaped into a long angled bob. She captioned the photo, “Meet my summer alter ego miss daisy.”

With that much length cut off, she must feel cooler and lighter, a perfect combo to help fight off the sweltering mid-summer heat.

Lookin’ good, Vanessa!
