Haircut hysteria
Kim Jong-Un appears to have shaved part of his eyebrows as well as opted for a Jersey Shore-inspired coif.
Antonio Garay
There’s awareness, and then there’s hyperawareness. San Diego Chargers nose tackle Antonio Garay really, really wanted us to know his position on Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2011.
Michelle Obama
The First Lady made news when she added a fringe to her coif in April 2013: “The bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They're starting to grow out, getting a little irritating, but it's OK. It's OK. We'll be good."
Emma Watson
Nothing screams “not a kid anymore” like a new haircut. Watson knew this quite well when she got rid of her Hogwarts look for this pixie cut in July 2010.
Justin Bieber
The Bieb's signature swoosh fell to a pair of scissors in February 2011. "Yeah so it's true...i got a lil haircut...i like it...and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon," the then-16-year-old Tweeted.
Natalie Portman
It was for a role, OK? In May 2005, the lovely actress shaved her head bald to play a budding anarchist in "V for Vendetta."

Keri Russell
The New York Times lauded the young Russell, then the star of the hit series “Felicity,” for her “glorious head of voluminous golden backlit hair.” And then, in 1999 she cut it off — a choice so drastic that it has its own subsection on Wikipedia.
Robert Pattinson
The heartthrob with the vampy longish hair shaved off parts of his mane in July 2011, spurring tabloids to call the cut “crazy” and “quirky.”
Jennifer Aniston
The haircut that defined the ‘90s, the “Rachel” was popular with everyone but the woman who introduced it. "How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," she told Allure magazine in 2011.
Jennifer Lawrence
Months of dyeing left her hair fried, so the actress lopped off her long locks in favor of this kicky cut in November 2013.
Julia Roberts
