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?

Pardon me, but if that picture depicts the haircut that sent Cameron Diaz into tears, then I have only one thing to say. That isn’t “no hair”. No hair would range between bald and a buzz cut. At least Diaz would have enough hair to tuck it back behind her ears.

Oh, come on Cameron! It’s not like you had a waist-length mane of luxurious locks! and it will grow back, I promise.

Really? Ever lost ALL your hair to chemotherapy?
After that, you put your life into perspective and
learn what is really important..losing a few inches of hair is so vain! Give me a break!!

Ahh I would cry, too! Haha, I’m such a baby about getting my hair cut, even if it’s only a trim!

For Pete’s sake, Cameron, it’s a bob. You’re not bald. Try going through chemo like my MIL did and having to shop for wigs and hats and then cry about having no hair. Or picture yourself as a woman with alopecia who would kill to have a bob like that.

These stars are pathetic! Take some biotin and wait a few months and voila, your hair will return!

No, I totally feel her. I’m no fan of Cameron Diaz, but any woman who’s had a bad, or at least unexpected hair cut knows that it can be really horrifying. I’m not proud of it, but I’ve definitely cried on my way home from a really bad perm. It’s totallly silly, but it’s also kind of nice to hear a celebrity talking honestly about being shaken by such a small thing.

really? My husband shaved my head due to my chemo treatments? My 2 year old was part of the event and said I was beautiful. So special. Its hair.
