Not every girl decides to radically part with her hair, but working as an actress makes its own adjustments to priorities. In our review - 10 women who said goodbye to their hair for a new look. And it should be noted that their decision did not diminish their attractiveness in the least.

Julia Vysotskaya

In January last year, Yulia Vysotskaya shocked the public after one morning she appeared on an online broadcast with a shaved head. The day before, she had gorgeous shoulder-length blonde hair, and that day she just appeared in a new image without explanation and continued to broadcast as if nothing had happened. This event immediately spawned a lot of rumors, and the Internet was literally filled with discussions of possible causes. Some argued that this was due to the deterioration of her daughter's health, others - that with her own health, still others, that Julia was under terrible stress and she decided to deal with negative feelings in this way.

Julia herself explained her change of image only a week later. Her husband Andrei Konchalovsky asked her for such a sharp change in appearance especially for the filming of his new film "Paradise." Julia admitted that she herself did not know until recently how short her hair would have to be cut. "". "We must pay tribute to Julia - she did not betray her feelings in any way when she appeared in a new image in front of the public.

Mariya Kozhevnikova

Two years ago, another Russian actress also shocked the audience with a sudden change of image: from a feminine and glamorous diva with long blonde hair, Maria suddenly suddenly turned into a serious woman with a shaved head. However, in this case, the actress immediately explained such metamorphoses: she was forced to part with her hair by a new role in the film about the war "Battalion," in which Maria played one of the main roles.

- said Maria.

Demmy Moor

Demi Moore was one of the first actresses of our time who decided to take such a radical step as to shave herself bald. Such a sacrifice demanded from her shooting the movie "Soldier Jane" ("G. I. Jane"), where Demi played Lieutenant Jordan O'Neill. This film brought the actress worldwide fame among the audience. It is true that critics considered this role terrible and even honored it with "Golden Raspberry."

It's also funny that in 2014, Demi's daughter Talulah Willis also shaved her head baldly, explaining that she was inspired by her own mother in the form of a soldier Jane.

Cate blanchett

In 2002, the dramatic film "Heaven" about drug dealers was released, in which you can see the shaved beauty Cate Blanchett. When the actress was asked if she was sorry to part with her hair, Kate replied: "Shaving your hair off your head is like giving yourself freedom." And the actress really did not try to disguise her lack of hair - she gave up wigs and hats with caps, and during the filming of the film she walked with a constant proud posture.

Charlize Theron

One of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood is not afraid to transform into characters completely unlike her. So, back in 2003, Charlize gained 15 kg of weight and shaved off her eyebrows for her role in the movie "Monster." Then her face was almost completely in makeup, which completely hid her beauty.

In 2015, Charlene starred opposite Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road, for which she had to part with her hair. But I must admit that even with a minimum of hair, Charlize still looked great.

Cynthia Nixon

The red-haired Sex and the City star shaved off her hair for a theater role. In the production of "Wit" Cynthia played a professor of literature, who was diagnosed with cancer. For this role, the actress also had to lose a lot of weight. It should be noted that this topic is not alien to Cynthia herself - some time before that, the actress also had cancer, and she had to undergo a long course of treatment, which, fortunately, was successful.

Natalie Portman

Fragile Natalie Portman parted ways with her hair for filming in the movie "V for Vendetta" ("V for Vendetta"). In a new image, she appeared on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, and, surprisingly, Natalie had this hairstyle to her face. Moreover, the actress even joked about the advantages of her new image: "Finally, they stopped confusing me with Keira Knightley."

Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver does not hide the fact that for the service of "shaving the actress's head" she asked for a larger fee. Initially, the actress did not want to star in the movie "Aliens 3," but $ 5, 5 million is still not lying on the road. However, when in the process of filming Sigourney's hair (which is natural) began to grow back so that they needed to be cut again, the actress demanded another 40 thousand dollars for this "cruel procedure". The director decided that rather than inflating the budget of the film, it would be easier to buy a wig for 16 thousand and never come back to this question.

Cameron Diaz

But Cameron Diaz did not agree to such changes for any money. Perhaps, on our list, she is the only one who "cheated" a little and instead of honest parting with her hair, the actress chose to confine herself to makeup. Such a change of image from the actress demanded shooting in the film "Keeper of my sister," in which Diaz plays the mother of a girl with leukemia. Refusal to actually shave off his hair made sense - shooting "Bald Cameron" took only one day.

Sinead O'Connor

It is unlikely that today anyone remembers how Sinead looked with long hair, but the Irish singer herself does not see herself in a feminine way and deliberately cuts her hair shorter and shorter every time. At the very beginning of her career, the record label asked the singer for a more attractive haircut in order to have a decent image in photographs and attract more music buyers. "I then left the studio and went straight to the hairdresser, asking him to completely shave all my hair off my head." So although Sinead is not an actress, her new "role" took root and made her famous.

17-year-old Andrea last year became famous all over the world, agreeing to pose for a fabulous photo shoot as it is - without hair, commenting on her act with words " Cancer can't make me stop feeling like a princess."
