The INSIDER Summary: 

• The lob is proving to be the cut-of-the-moment. 
• The actress just debuted her new summer-ready lob on Instagram. 
• She also dyed her hair a stunning ombré. 

Khloé Kardashian’s not the only one going darker for summer. The once-blonde Ashley Tisdale just went more brunette than we’ve ever seen her!

Taking to Instagram, the "High School Musical" alum, 32, showed off a shorter, light brown lob. “@anjabee + @timm.morrison = dream team hair,” she wrote.

With added choppy layers to her shoulder-length tresses and a darker tint to the roots, the "Charmer" star’s new ‘do is edgier and more polished than the long bronde lob saw from the singer has been sporting most recently. And while she’s gone dark, it’s definitely not monotone! Looks like her stylist Anja Bee worked in a gorgeous caramel to cocoa ombré to Tisdale’s coif.

The lob is proving its staying power (it’s been the cut-of-the-moment for at LEAST three years now), so all those rules you’ve heard about keeping your hair color true to the season? Officially gone out the window.
