There’s no denying that Molly-Mae Hague holds serious sway when it comes to sparking viral trends - particularly when it comes to the beauty sphere. Whether we’re swooning over her must-have £20 lipstick, her favourite firming body moisturiser, or her 'holy grail' cleansing balm, the influencer and Pretty Little Thing Creative Director sure knows how to create more than just a bit of a beauty buzz.
Molly-Mae’s latest move? Saying goodbye to her long, platinum blonde lengths in favour of a significantly shorter ‘do.
Taking to her Instagram grid yesterday, the new mum posted a selfie debuting her hair extension-less captioned 'sometimes a hair extension break'. In turn the picture welcomed a slew of supportive comments from fellow celebrities and ex-Love Island stars, one comment read, 'your hair looks way better the shorter length / makes you look sophisticated.'

It’s safe to say that Molly’s latest haircut, a shoulder-length bob, makes for a notable beauty statement when compared to the extra-long swish-worthy strands that her 8.3 million strong Instagram followers have become accustomed to. She’s also stepped away from her signature mermaid waves in favour of a tousled, natural bob - and unsurprisingly, the masses are obsessed with her latest look.
Fans have also speculated her hair extension ditch is linked to her recent breakup with Tommy Fury. A recent survey of 1,500 women by Ripe Hair & Beauty found that, 52% have cut their hair following a breakup and 43% coloured their hair. The main reason for this is to reinvent their look and/or make themselves feel better.
However, it seems unlikely that Molly won’t be mixing things up again in the near future. This isn’t the first time she’s gone shorter after all, with the star debuting a similar look last year, before opting for her trusty extensions again not too long after.
