Cutting your own hair is always a risk, but these 5 celebrities have revealed that they’ve all done it at least once in the past. Some regularly cut and style their own hair, enjoying the thrill of experimenting with their own locks, or they simply don’t have the time to spend hours having their hair professionally cut. Others decided to chop their own hair on a whim and have spoken on their daring hair moment, why they did it and how it turned out.
Beyonce knows how to style and cut her own hair: “I like to experiment [with my hair]. I love playing around with highlights or bleaching the tips. I can cut and style my own hair. I recently cut two inches myself – I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh!”
- Helen Mirren
Helen often cuts her own hair, even before big events: “I can’t handle going to the hairdresser every six weeks, so I only go about once a year. In between, I get out the scissors and do something, usually rather disastrously. Sometimes I’ll even chop my hair the morning of a big red-carpet event.”
- Jameela Jamil
Jameela loves to do her own hair and makeup, including haircuts: “I always do my own makeup. I’m not really into preening. I cut my own hair because I don’t want to be in the salon for two hours. A spa is my idea of a hostage situation – it turns into Prison Break, I’m there in my dressing gown trying to find an exit.”
- Malinda Williams
Malinda was once faced with a hair problem and decided to solve it herself: “I was even tempted to pull out some clippers and buzz it all off and rock it bald, but I thought better of that and decided to cut it really short. I cut my own hair– I cut it down and wore a really tight fro for a while. It grew on me and I thought… ‘this also is me’.”
- Michelle Williams
Michelle once chopped off her locks because she craved a change: “I cut my own hair once because I didn’t know what else to do. I couldn’t do anything internally and I felt like I had to change something externally.”
