Check Out Halsey's New Look after She Traded Her Long Locks for a Shaved Head
Halsey fans were in for a surprise this week when the singer decided to have a change in her look. The musician shaved off all of her hair and went for a bald look which she showed off on social media.
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.
