Jennifer Garner is a classic beauty. She keeps it simple by not changing her long brunette hair very often. (This is not Alias, after all.) That’s why we were shocked to see Garner show up on a red carpet with a bronde bob, blonde highlights in her brown hair, and the shortest style we’d seen on her in ages. It’s not a drastic change — unlike other stars — but it’s a new look for Garner that feels fresh and modern.

Garner’s longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel is responsible for the cut and wavy texture. “Short hair never mind!” Garner wrote on Instagram along with a video showing Abergel teaching her how to style her new cut. The video is sponsored by Virtue Labs, a hair care brand that loves Abergel. (FWIW, so do we!) He also uses the healthy hair products on Kristen Stewart and Anne Hathaway.

“I have short hair! This means a new way of doing my short hair,” says Garner. She uses Virtue 6-in-1 Vitamin E Hair Smoothing Styler ($34 at Sephora) first because it “has the natural texture ” of her hair and protects it from heat damage. She then uses a blow dryer with a diffuser to style her hair. Next is the brand’s Create Hair Texturizing Spray ($38 at Sephora) to “add some lift and volume” and “to smell good”.

Finally, she finishes with Hydrating & Heat Protectant Healing Hair Oil ($44 at Sephora). “It doesn’t get rid of your curl and texture,” she says. “It will educate them and make them happy.” She adds that all products contain what Virtue calls Alpha Keratin 60ku, a healing protein that helps repair damaged hair as you style it. The results? Really wonderful. Save this page to take with you to your next salon appointment.
