She made waves when she showed off her shorter hair cut to her Instagram followers on Wednesday. But Kaley Cuoco proved that the process of getting a new chic look isn’t always as glamorous as it appears to be. The 37-year-old star was seen leaving a salon in Los Angeles on Wednesday with stringy wet hair hanging limply across her face.

The Big Bang Theory star dressed wore an unflattering grey knit sweater for the outing, teamed with tiny denim shorts, and a pair of floral print sandals. She had her hands full as she held onto her cell phone and large brown paper bag in one hand and her car keys on the other as she draped a leopard print purse over her forearm.

The new look comes shortly after she led her Twitter followers to believe she had chopped off all her hair in March, which ended up being a gag. However, on Wednesday the actress finally made the cut.

In her post after the restyle, she wrote: ‘We did it @clsymonds ! Now let’s get some color shall we ? @andylecomptesalon.’ Clearly pleased with the results, Kaley could hardly stifle her grin in the resulting picture.

First she posed with her usual flowing blonde locks, then she appeared in another shot with a friend holding the scissors to her hair with an open mouthed expression. A third shot showed Kaley appearing to have much shorter hair in a short, wavy chin-length bob.
