We all remember that fateful day when our precious pop princess Britney Spears shaved her head bald. That specific incident would only be the catalyst in the mayhem that would become the pop star’s life. At one point during all of the hoopla, Britney said that she didn’t understand the big deal surrounding her new Mr. Clean appearance—she said it was liberating.

Many women make a dramatic change to their appearance after a dynamic event in their lives, whether it’s the breaking up with a significant other, finishing school or in Emma Watson’s case…filming the absolute last Harry Potter film that made her a household name.

Resembling the iconic fashion model Twiggy, Watson posted a photo of her chopped tresses on Facebook. She wrote: “Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago… Feels incredible. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like. Big love from Emma x.”

The Burberry model told EW.com that her stylist, BeautyStat’s hair expert Rodney Cutler, grabbed her pony tail and cut it off. Watson explained that with her Harry Potter shooting schedule and lack of a normal adolescence that she missed all of the experimentation that most teenagers go through. She said, “I’ve wanted to do this since I was about 16, so as soon as I had the chance I was like, ‘Right. This is it.'”

We’ve watched Watson grow in the role of her alter-ego, Hermoine Granger and grow as a person. Her drastic change to her ‘do is showing her independence from a character she has played for so long.

Do you think Emma Watson’s drastic hair cut will hinder her acting and modeling career? Do you like her new look? Post a comment below.
