Every New Year, in every country, after the clock strikes twelve, people everywhere vow to change their lives. Some hit the gym, some take classes, and some start the New Year with a makeover, a luxurious skin care regimen, or a drastically different hairstyle. Shay Mitchell is one of them, welcoming 2024 with an edgy new hairstyle.

Mitchell showed off the look on her Instagram with the caption, "new year new hair." The carousel of images and video showcase Mitchell's short, choppy pixie cut that she swept to the side (I told you the side part was back!). . Her hair was dyed jet black and the overall look was badass, reminiscent of classic rock icon Joan Jett. She wore mullets, but always in a choppy, short black style with volume on top and on the sides.

Mitchell also mastered the ultra-short hair styling in her Instagram photoshoot, offsetting the look with dangling silver and white earrings, sharp-edged rectangular sunglasses, and a square-shouldered, structured blazer. This style choice added to the irreverent, rock 'n' roll energy of her overall look.

Another icon that Mitchell seems to have channeled with her new "hairstyle" is Kris Jenner. Comments on Mitchell's post pointed out her striking resemblance to the Kardashian-Jenner clan, especially comparing her to Kylie and a young Kris.

Regardless of who you think Mitchell is channeling, this brand new look is definitely a chic and bold change for the New Year, heralding the arrival of a new trend for 2024 and possibly prompting hair lovers worldwide to do some major chopping.
