Cameron Diaz Cried After Chopping Her Hair

Cameron Diaz recently told InStyle her short haircut was “freeing” — but she had very different words for Jay Leno Tuesday night.

“There was a little misunderstanding,” she explained on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno of her pre-Christmas cut. “I said, ‘Oh I just want a little bit off’ … and it went from here to here,” she added, gesturing two very different hair lengths.

Once Diaz saw the new do, her reaction wasn’t so pleasant. “I just burst into tears and started crying, and I felt so vulnerable,” she explained. “For a woman to all of a sudden have no hair, oh my god.”

What made the situation even more awkward was the fact that Diaz’s hairstylist happened to be a good friend. “I felt really bad, she felt really bad, she started crying, I started crying, a couple of other people started crying,” Diaz said. But soon the situation smoothed over. “I ended up writing her a few emails after, the next couple days, assuring her I wasn’t going to kill her.”

As Leno pointed out, it’s unique that Diaz gets her haircuts from a friend (in that friend’s kitchen, no less) — not at a chic Los Angeles salon. But the actress said she’s been getting kitchen haircuts from this friend — and her own mother — for quite some time. She joked, “I’m in her kitchen often with the cape around my neck, going, ‘I hope we’re not going to cook after that.’” Tell us: Would you let a friend cut your hair?

For those bashing her and saying she’s vain because of her hair (and insinuating the same for all women who care about their hair), why don’t you think of the flip side? For some women their hair is something to hide behind for lack of self-esteem or whatever other reason. You cut their hair and there goes any sense of feeling good about themselves. No, hair is not always a vanity issue. It’s part of a person’s identity. Because it may not be an issue for you doesn’t mean it’s not an issue for others.

This seems to be a recent photo. She said the hair cut was before Christmas. It has had almost 6 months to grow. It could have been a lot shorter then. Learn how to put 2 and 2 together before you start attacking like crazed animals.

People should really think before they speak.
Make that statement to a 12 year old girl who has lost her hair to chemo. NOT COOL AT ALL.

LOL on

Maybe she did it on purpose. LOL

You all need to calm down, attacking her because she’s complaining. I’d cry to if my hair looked like that.

Linda on

She needs to get a life. Much worse things to cry about in life than the length of one’s hair.

lynn on

she could always get extensions…

Give me a break!!!! Do you know how many people fighting their battle with cancer who loose all and/or some of there hair during chemo and radiation treatments!! And they still hold their head high because they want to live!!!

Cameron count your blessings of being heathly as many people would trade places with you for your health alone. Also, why didn’t you donate your hair for Cancer so wigs could be made with it.

No sympathy from me!!!
