Michelle Obama Chops Off Her Hair! (Not).

Her new cut is a short, layered bob with a side part -- very professional and polished.
The nape-length back is perfect for summer as it has the cooling effect of wearing your hair up, but with the face-framing benefit of wearing your hair down.
And while the front layers are definitely snipped shorter, we still can't help but be a wee bit suspicious.
This wouldn't be the first time Mrs. O fooled us by faking a cut--she has a penchant for up-dos that give the illusion of shorter hair without the scissors (here are a few examples).
Update: As it turned out, it was a fake! Michelle's stylist told Urban Beauty Collective that he simply tucked up her hair, as we had guessed. Either way, it looked great.

We are in the middle of a recession, people are losing their jobs, our country's values are going down the toilet and we are writing articles about the first lady's hair! Are you kidding me? How about AOL writes a story about the individuals who are barley making enough money to afford a haircut. I wonder how much she shelled out in order to get her "short, layered bob". Congratulations USA...we have finally become the joke that every other country views us to be.
