These celebrities are making a bold statement with their striking short hair!
For different people, hair symbolizes a lot of things. In the past, having long hair was associated with strength, power, and virility. For some, it's a display of one's beauty and femininity. Hair also gives us an idea about someone's personality, identity, ethnicity, and even religious beliefs.
