Bangs are just so hard to resist right now — just ask TikTok andJennifer Garner.

The actress has been playing around with mid-length curtain bangs, but her most recent Instagram Stories — and a photo with Holly Robinson Peete — make it look like she trimmed up her bangs even more. Now her strands skim her eyebrows for a wispy look.

Garner, 50, shared an Instagram Story video on Thursday, making breakfast with her followers. It’s her hair that steals the show, though. The actress sports two half-up pigtails with her short bangs, allowing the face-framing fringe to curl lightly away from her eyes.

The photo Robinson Peete shared just before that provides another glimpse at Garner’s bangs, this time with all of her hair down around her face. With this hairstyle, it’s easier to see that Garner’s once-long bangs are now much shorter.

In most of her recent Instagram posts, Garner has chosen to either clip her bangs fully back into her hair or swipe them off to the side. Either of these styles is much easier to pull off with long bangs. Now that her bangs are shorter, though, she is seemingly wearing them down around her face more often.

The new bangs work perfectly for Garner’s lob, which her friend and hairstylistAdir Abergel cut for her last fall. Abergel told PEOPLE that giving the actress that cut was the perfect plan, because a lob can truly work for anyone.

“The Jen G cut for Gen Z,” Abergel called it.

At the time, Abergel opted to give Garner “texturized long layers for volume that sit on the collarbone” and “Bardot bangs to frame the face.”
