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?

ooo puuhleese! I went to a salon with a bob asked to get a trim… walked out with a pixie cut… that is having no hair! and I didn’t cry! I hate it when women cry over hair! cry over a divorce, or death not hair!

Years ago, my husband and I were in Manhattan and I just had to have my hair cut at one of the best salons. I, too, had my hair chopped off about that short, I was depressed for months. The good thing is, it grows back. Lesson learned.

She needs to find a new stylist. One who won’t make her hair look like sh*t.

She’s full of beans. Her hair was this short when she did “There’s Something About Mary”. She just wants attention.
Personally I wouldn’t want to someone cutting hair in my kitchen. That’s where I cook and hair fly’s everywhere. Sorry Cameron, no sympathy, besides their are hair extensions these days.

This chick looks like Jar Jar Binks. Her hair is the least of her problems.

Until you have experienced no hair because of chemo you have NOTHING to cry about! Try that and let me know how it works for you.
