Hayden Panettiere’s short hair, very real.

July 11, 2008 � Celebrity, Hayden Panettiere

We were all kind of wondering for a second there, whether or not Hayden Panettiere’s short hair was even real, considering she was spotted just the other day with her usual long hair.

However, it would seem the long hair was simply extensions that she wears for her character, Claire Bennet, in Heroes, as Hayden’s new short hair couldn’t be anymore real.

Hayden Panettiere was spotted yesterday afternoon, leaving the filming of Season 3 of Heroes for the day, sporting her new short hairdo and a darling yellow dress. It would also seem she’s been spending a lot of time in the sun, too. Look how tan she is!
