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?

Drea,

I totally agree with you. You stated exactly what I was thinking. It’s hair. It’ll grow back if you don’t like it. At least she has that option. She needs to stop whining & being overly dramatic about such a trivial thing as a haircut.

What haircut? Looks the same to me.

Sorry, but this story is annoying. I am 32 and had to go through chemo last year for breast cancer and I lost ALL my hair. I can only WISH that my hair was as long as hers is right now.

I think Cameron needs to visit some women who have alopecia. Maybe then she will see how foolish she is to place so much emphasis on her hair.

Oh puhleeze! That is SO SHALLOW of her to worry about a lil haircut. It’s really NOT a bad haircut.
AND it will grow back – or she can always afford to add hair extensions. DRAMA QUEEN!
