Glaiza De Castro wowed her followers when she debuted her new haircut on her Instagram account recently.

The Nagbabagang Luha female lead star wears cropped bangs with her shoulder-length hair which gained thousands of likes from netizens.

While some believe a haircut signifies moving on from a breakup, Glaiza denotes her change of hairdo as an escape from her emotionally-packed role as Maita in her new drama series, which premiered last August 2.

The award-winning actress revealed during Nagbabagang Luha cast's Kapuso ArtisTamabayan last August 5, "Kung napanood n'yo na po 'yung Nagbabagang Luha, ako po do'n 'yung walang bangs.

"Feeling ko lang kasi after every project talaga, kailangan ko mag-iba ng itsura para maiwan ko na rin 'yung character ko."

Glaiza can't deny that she enjoys sporting different hairstyles.

But for her, the most beneficial effect of having a fresh, new haircut is that it lets her feel reenergized especially if she's onto the next project that requires different emotions.

She went on, "Kumbaga para maka-move on na rin kami sa susunod pa naming character kasi mabibigat talaga 'yung mga eksena.

"'Yung mga napapanood n'yo recently, wala pa po doon ['yung mga matitindi], establishing pa lang po ng mga character namin.

"Ini-introduce pa lang 'yung mga relationship namin sa isa't isa. kung hindi n'yo ko nakikita na 'di pa masyadong umiiyak ay dahil wala pa masyadong dumadating na mabibigat na mga pangyayari pero abangan n'yo po 'yan sa mga susunod na araw."

From virtual script readings to the successful TV premiere of Nagbabagang Luha

While Glaiza is ready to let go of her Nagbabagang Luha character, she shared she will always be proud of this project that was successfully produced amid a pandemic.

Recalling the pre-production of the GMA Afternoon Prime series, "Nasa Ireland ako that time.

"Gumigising ako nang madaling araw kasi iba 'yung oras natin dito sa Pilipinas so, siyempre, during that time, hindi pa kami pwede magsama-sama nang personal.

"'Yung script reading ginagawa lang din namin na ganito na Zoom lang talaga na hindi namin nakasanayan pero kailangan namin gawin.

"Tapos 'yung mga workshops ay dati pwede kami magkita sa GMA, hindi namin nagawa 'yun for this so given the time na we had na hindi kami pwede magkita nang personal, 'yun 'yung mga ginawa naming mga paghahanda.

"At bago namin 'to nasimulan, maraming bagay na kinonsider, maraming mga changes kaya sa sobrang haba ng proseso, sobrang excited kami at masayang-masaya kami na ito na 'yung fruits of our labor, ito na 'yung pinaghirapan namin, ito na 'yung trinabaho namin."

In Nagbabagang Luha, Glaiza plays another iconic role that makes her a top actress.

Her role as Maita was originally portrayed by seasoned actress Lorna Tolentino in the movie version of Nagbabagang Luha, which was released in 1988.

Nagbabagang Luha airs Monday to Saturday, 2:30 p.m., after Eat Bulaga on GMA Afternoon Prime.
