Emily Cooper isn’t the only one who benefits from haircut therapy.
Cooper (Lily Collins), the stylish expat at the heart of Netflix’s romantic drama “Emily in Paris,” resorts to a do-it-yourself haircut during the Season 3 premiere after a career-related nightmare leaves her feeling overwhelmed.
After a frantic beauty routine fails, Cooper grabs a pair of scissors and cuts her own bangs, much to the chagrin of her friend Mindy (Ashley Park).
Collins revealed in a New York Times interview published Wednesday that she had a similar hair makeover in her mid-20s.
“I had a life change haircut when I was about 26,” Collins explained. “I cut off all my hair — it was a pixie cut — and went to the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and everyone was like, ‘What happened?'”
Collins isn’t the only celebrity who has used hairstyling as a form of catharsis. Here’s what other celebrities have said about their hair changes.
JoJo Siwa has cut her signature ponytail to honour a childhood dream.
JoJo Siwa, a dancer and singer known for her signature ponytail and humongous hair bow, chopped off her blond locks in April.
Siwa debuted the dramatically shorter hairstyle on Instagram, where she posted a joyful car selfie with the caption “HAPPPPPY.”
During an appearance on “The View” in May, Siwa revealed that the drastic haircut had been a long-held dream of hers.
“I’ve wanted to cut my hair like this since I was like 7 or 8, and I finally brought it up to my mom,” Siwa explained, adding that her mother was eventually “on board.” “It’s a lot of fun to play with. It’s a lot of fun to style.”
Ireland Baldwin wears her blond buzz cut with pride.
Ireland Baldwin, the daughter of actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, changed her long red hair in August for a platinum blond buzz cut.
On her Instagram story, Baldwin discussed her decision to shave her head, explaining that it was a much-needed change.
“Years of bleach and modelling destroyed my hair,” Baldwin wrote. “A restart/refresh is long overdue. I’ve always wanted to do this, but I’ve been too afraid. I feel more beautiful than ever now that I don’t care what other people think.”
