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 love her short hair. Best cut she has had in ages! Nothing to cry about at all.

I love Cameron, but her hair was never thick and luxurious – ever. The cut makes her fine, straight hair look fuller and shows off her pretty face, something the stringy longer locks did not do. She should have jumped for joy!

Oh shut up, Cameron. There are women out there that don’t have hair and you’re boo-hooing because its too short? Give me a break.

P Mueller on

It looks like a friend cut her hair … a blind friend!

“For a woman to all of a sudden have no hair, oh my god.” My mother experienced no hair, but with cancer. Diaz comment made me sick. She is rich, and completely brainless.

Honestly, she sounds so self centered. Maybe if she had children to raise & focus on, she would be less focused on herself and less vain.

Cameron should try having ” no hair ” after she’s had a few rounds of chemo — bet she wouldn’t feel so bad about having chin length hair after all……

celebrities. i’m waiting to find out if i have cancer. that’s something to burst into tears about, not HAIR.
