Why britney spears bald

More recently, openly pansexual model Cara Delevigne has described shaving her head as a "liberating" act that made a point about "not needing hair to be beautiful". Last year, Dr McCann surveyed more than Australians about their experiences of beauty practices under lockdown, and found that many had shaved their heads.

They either felt out of control if they couldn't visit the salon, or if they did these DIY practices, they felt in control," she says. You just need an electric shaver," says Dr McCann.

The idea of taking back control also played a part in Brisbane-based ABC journalist Lucy Sweeney's decision to shave her head. Lucy has alopecia universalis, a condition where you lose hair from all over your body, and she decided to shave her head after her condition began causing noticeable bald spots.

The responses to a woman's decision to cut her hair tend to vary — with Lucy Richards finding that women tended to be curious about her plan, but men failing to understand why the decision to shave her hair would feel daunting. Dr McCann — who has short although not shaved hair herself —says she's had some men tell her she'd look prettier if she grew her hair out. Others still mistake the decision to shave one's hair as a sign of a woman breaking down -—- a charge that has often been levelled at Spears, despite her explanations to the contrary.

New York Times critic Wesley Morris argue s that the meaning of Spears' stunt says more about what she was trying to step away from than her state of mind at the time.

He explains: "She's saying, essentially with no hair, 'I quit. Later in the doc, Morris adds: "Nobody was talking about mental health when Britney Spears was going through all of that stuff in public.

There was too much money to made off her suffering. While in the initial paparazzi photo snapped of Spears, she looks elated about her decision to shave her head, Tognozzi says the singer's mood soon changed.

I thought we could do a comb-over maybe to fix it," the hairstylist recalls. Tattoo artist Emily Wynne-Hughes saw Spears moments after the extreme haircut and got her to explain why she did it. The door opened slowly and a hooded figure walked in the door," says Wynne-Hughes, remembering Spears walking into the Sherman Oaks tattoo shop that evening.

I remember asking her, 'Why did you shave your head? Both Wynne-Hughes and Tognozzi claim in the documentary that Spears' security detail didn't appear too concerned with shielding her from photographers. I felt this insane sense of anxiety and energy that felt so negative," Wynne-Hughes says.
