Emma Watson's attempt at a light-hearted haircut joke might have
deserved a moment's contemplation before she spilled it to Elle U.K. for
their November 2011 issue.
On the topic of cutting her hair, Emma said "I'd never been allowed
to cut my hair off, so I just seized the first opportunity. It wasn't
meant to be rebellious - it certainly wasn't my Britney Spears moment." Watson undoubtedly has a more light-hearted experience with the
entertainment industry than Spears, with all the wand waving and magic
hats, yet her reasoning for cutting her hair may be closer to a "Britney
Spears" moment than she realizes. It seems Watson didn't cut her hair to simply give it a try. Watson
also says in Elle: "I find L.A. quite scary - all those young people
having plastic surgery...I don't want to look like everyone else."
Sheila Marikar took an in-depth look at Britney's actions in her
article "Bald and Broken: Inside Britney's Shaved Head". In this
article, Bethany Marshall, a psychoanalyst, deconstructed Britney's
hairdo as having deeper roots than just those found in her scalp - "I
think the shaving of her hair is a fresh start...in her own maybe
distorted way, it's getting rid of the superficial and getting down to
something deeper."
