Nicole LaValle, better known as "Snooki," has ditched part of her "guidette" stigma. Her red hot hair that once extended to her tan backside, is now toned down to a chic long bob. On January 14, she hinted at the change on Instagram with a photo of her at a hair salon with the caption reading: "New Year - new me." The just below shoulder-length doo fits in with her fast-paced mom lifestyle. Nicole's latest post on Instagram says it all, with the caption of "LOVING this. So much easier to maintain and my kids won't have anything to hang off of anymore."

This "mommy makeover," according to the reality star, is a huge difference from her mermaid locks. Although she probably dropped five pounds just from a pair of scissors, Nicole continues to exercise regularly to get in the best shape possible for her children. In contrast to losing weight, whether from hair to post-birth pounds, she's also adding something to her body that's mommy-related: bird tattoos representing each child. Her and husband Jionni have set their sights on four babies, meaning that four little birds would fly in place on the back of Nicole's neck, each with initials, according to MTV News.

From her recent Gatsby-themed wedding, to having two kids, and now to chopping that long mane off, Snooki knows what she wants and doesn't let social media haters get in her or her expanding family's way. Henceforth, you rock your 2015 fresh look, girl.
