Jenna Ortega is starring in a new Adidas advert, putting on a display of pretty adorable fan reactions to a football match on TV (or 'soccer' for those who insist on calling it that). The polar opposite of Wednesday Adams' deadpan face, Jenna covers 90% of human emotion in the short clip. But it wasn't her array of facial expressions that made the biggest impact on our feels, it was her long bob hair. Because we are actually bamboozled as to how it is quite so glossy.

The glass-like hair is beyond the usual human realms of shiny hair and we would pay good money to know what products she used to achieve it, and even good-er money for the products themselves.

She's been sporting the long bob for a while now, the descendants of her shaggy wolf cut that broke the internet. That gradient fringe isn't a revelation either. So, all of our shock really is just from that darn shine. Maybe we have a very simple mind, but honestly, we're mesmerised.
