Whether Jennifer Garner is showing off an intense Instagram workout, sharing her favorite eye cream, or simply being a style icon (seriously, check out her favorite hoodie and leggings), she’s always an inspiration. This time, the 50-year-old is turning heads with a major haircut—and fans are loving it.

“Short hair, don’t care! ????♀?,” Garner captioned her Instagram video, which began with a Princess Diaries style before-and-after shot, showing off her hair transformation. The star’s fresh cut falls to her shoulders and features voluminous layers and subtle warm blonde highlights.

Fans are loving Garner’s transformation. “Stunner! I want that hair too!!,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in: “Oh you look too sleek and beautiful! It really suits you and compliments your lovely face!”

In the video, she cuts right to the chase and shares how she styles her new ‘do. “Hello! I have short hair,” The Last Thing He Told Me actress exclaimed in her video. “Which means a new way to do my short hair. So here’s how I do it.” Ahead, we break down Garner’s tips and tricks for achieving gorgeous, tousled waves for shorter hair.

First, Garner uses the Virtue 6-In-1 Styler, a multitasking styling cream, to bring out her “natural texture.” She notes the product is a great pre-heat styling product and that it (bonus points!) “smells good,” too. Garner rubs a dime-sized amount of the product in her hands and scrunches it throughout the “bottom two-thirds” of her hair before hitting her tresses with a hair dryer and diffuser attachment.

After diffusing her waves, Garner sprays her hair with the Virtue Texturizing Spray, which is a “dry shampoo and a hairspray all in one,” Garner explains. This product “adds some lift and volume,” and you guessed it, “it’s gonna smell good!”

Lastly, the actress uses the Virtue Healing Oil, a hydrating and lightweight hair oil meant to deliver strong, shiny locks. After shaking up the bottle, Garner adds a few drops of the oil to her hands, rubs it between her palms, and gently scrunches and rubs it into the ends of her hair. The product “won’t get rid of your curls or texture,” Garner assures, and instead will instead “bring them up and happy!”

Some fans even shared their love for Garner’s go-to products in the comments section. “The healing oil is divine,” one writes. “Love the chop! And texturizing spray ??,” another adds.

All of the products contain Alpha keratin 60 ku, a reparative protein meant to restore and revive damaged hair, “which means that your hair at the end of styling will be healthier than when you started,” Garner explains. “What’s better than that? Cheers! Short hair, don’t care.”
