Making waves! Jolly Hilary Duff celebrates sleek new haircut by saluting fans as she leaves posh salon in West Hollywood

Her hair has not been at its luxurious best in recent weeks.

So no wonder Hilary Duff looked so pleased as she left a posh salon sporting voluminous, glossy locks in West Hollywood on Tuesday.

The Lizzie McGuire starlet was in such a good mood she waved at fans as she pranced back to her Mercedes following her epic pamper session.

Hilary, 28, looked in fine form indeed in a black T-shirt, dark skinny jeans, trendy flat cream-coloured flat shoes and rounded off her look by wearing a varsity jacket on her shoulders.

However it was her bouncy barnet that really stole the show, and it was a vast improvement on the lank lifeless mane she sported almost a week ago in Beverly Hills.

The yummy mummy's cheerful demeanour suggests she is enjoying single life since being granted a divorce from Canadian former NHL player Mike Comrie in February.

She previously revealed she is now focusing all her efforts on being a good mother to their four-year-old son Luca.

Step out in style with Hilary's Valentino espadrilles

She's got a closet full of designer gear. And for a visit to a hair salon in West Hollywood, Hilary Duff wasn't afraid to show it off.

The former Disney star rocked ripped jeans and a black sweater topped with a Saint Laurent bomber jacket. She finished her look with a pair of Valentino studded leather espadrilles.

With summer fast approaching, a fashionable pair of espadrilles is at the top of our wishlist. They go with everything from ladylike dresses to skinny jeans and a flat pair like Hilary's are majorly comfortable. Luckily they're available to purchase at Neiman Marcus for $895.

In a thrilling Facebook video posted in February she said: 'Someone asked me, "How do you sing? How do you act?" Before I had a child, I could do all those things and give it my everything, and I was like peddle to the metal sleep when I die.

'And now my son takes priority over everything. I'm not going to be on a world tour and be the top of the charts, because I don't have the time to put in and that's not what's important to me.

'You know, I'm always going to choose my child first and I think every mom feels that way.'

Meanwhile it seems Hilary's career is moving at full-steam ahead.

For she is playing Kelsey Peters in the second season of Darren Star's sitcom Younger, which airs on the much-admired TV Land channel.
