Keke Palmer Just Chopped Off Her Hair & Her Debut Photo Already Has 300K Likes

There are plenty of ways to celebrate a birthday. Some people gather their closest friends for dinner, others plan a getaway and some go all-in on self-care. But Keke Palmer? She’s celebrating her next trip around the sun by switching up her entire vibe—with a dramatic new haircut.

The Pickup actress took to Instagram on Monday, August 18, to reveal a fresh pixie cut just ahead of her August 26 birthday. And yes, it’s just as bold and flawless as you’d expect.

In the post, Keke shared a carousel of selfies, starting with a close-up snap from inside her car, where her newly chopped copper hair was front and center. “My birthday is just around the corner,” she captioned the post, adding the Virgo zodiac symbol.

She followed it up with a few more casual snaps, including one in oversized glasses and a fur-lined jacket over a graphic tee.

As for what her fans think? Well, the post has already pulled in more than 300K likes—including one from supermodel Heidi Klum—so, safe to say they were living for the transformation.

“NOW THAT’S TEA BOO!” one person wrote. Another added, “A LEWWWKKKK,” while someone else chimed in with, “When I say the hair GIVESSSSS.” And another gushed, “Hello I’m obsessed! I love your hair short.”

The new pixie cut is a drastic change from the longer locs she's been sporting lately.
