These celebrities switched up their hair after a breakup

Can a new 'do mend a broken heart? - by Arielle T
  • 19 Nov 2018

After years of cutting and colouring my hair to within an inch of its life,  I spent most of my twenties willing it to grow. Until one day - while grappling with the idea of starting over after a painful break-up - I suddenly felt the urge to chop it all off. And just like that, I felt something had shifted. 

These celebrities switched up their hair after a breakup

Lenny Kravitz said it best: “I needed to change my energy, so I cut my hair.” And he’s not the only A-lister turning over a new leaf after a break-up with a new hairstyle. Scroll to discover the best post-heartbreak celebrity hair transformations...

Ariana Grande 

After saying "thank you, next" on her engagement to Pete Davidson the singer debuted her shortest hairstyle to date.
