Halsey is no stranger to short hairstyles and buzzcuts. In 2015, the singing sensation featured a buzzcut look, and the following year she explained to “Nylon” magazine why she’d made the change.

She revealed, at the time, that her hair had been a big racial indicator in her whole entire life. The singer, who is biracial, noted how hair has been a symbol of the struggles people of color have faced.
