Cut your hair now because bobs are officially the most popular hairstyle of the season

Demi Lovato can do no wrong when it comes to changing up her hairstyle. As the ultimate chameleon, she’s now rocking a swept over choppy bob and makes us all want to pull out the scissors. Her hairdresser, Cesar DeLeon Ramirez, confirmed he’d created this wig for Demi for when she wanted to rock a shorter look, but we think she’d suit it full time!
