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?

I wonder if she was receiving chemo treatments would she worry about her hair as much.

Can’t stand this woman. No talent whatsoever.

I have that same reaction every time there is a movie I want to see and she just happens to have a part in it.

Over a hair cut? Please…..

I think she looks great, no matter what length her hair is. I too lost my hair to chemo and quite frankly…I loved it. No hairbrush, shampoo, hair products, root touch-ups every 6 weeks, trims, cuts or color. LOVED IT! No pun intended, but it shaved about an hour or so off a day – getting ready to leave the house. My husband took longer, and it wss a thrill to be nagging him to get ready for a change. Hair is vastly over-rated!

Why is God not capitalized?

Can we ship her off to the Island of Banished “actresses” already? Please?

I will never understand the emphasis people put on their hair. It’s HAIR. It’s not a human or anything really important. And the great thing about it – it grows back, people. Wow. This world is really messed up if all people are focusing on is their hair. Hair does not make you who you are. It’s what’s on the inside that makes the person. get over it.

No, this cut is different than the one years ago. Plus, if you don’t want your hair cut….it’s pretty devastating. I don’t like this cut on her. I’d been soooo mad if I asked for a trim then the hair ended up by my ears.

Mad isn’t even close.

I love all the biatch comments on here. If it were any of “you,” you’d all be suing the stylist. Give me a break.
