Hilary Duff Hits the Town with Stylist Marcus Francis: Get Details On Her New Hairdo!

Hilary Duff shares a big laugh with her hair stylist Marcus Francis as they exit Crossroads restaurant after grabbing dinner on Thursday evening (May 29) in Los Angeles.

That same day, the 26-year-old actress was spotted stepping out of her car to head to the gym for her daily workout.

Marcus recently opened up about what inspired Hilary‘s new, shorter hairstyle.

“We wanted a bigger change for summer and just to feel healthier in general,” Marcus told US Weekly. “The cut is blunt and slightly more angled having it shorter in the back, a few longer layers to give it movement. She loves it and feels like it’ll be easier to style. She actually wanted it shorter when we first discussed the cut, but once she saw what three inches looked like, she felt the length is perfect.”
