Farrah Fawcett Took Care Of Her Iconic Hair till Last Breath — One Time We Saw Her Bald

Farrah Fawcett was famous for her role in "Charlie's Angels." In addition to her acting skills, she was loved for her iconic voluminous, perfectly layered hair with feather bangs. Sadly, the actress lost her battle with cancer.

Farrah Fawcett was famously known as one of the lead actors in the iconic TV show, "Charlie's Angels." The actress captured the world with her acting prowess, beautiful smile, and voluminous blonde hair.

Unfortunately, time for Fawcett was limited. She lost her battle with cancer when she was 62, but to this day, the glamourous actress is still remembered for her iconic hair.

Outside of being a successful actress, Fawcett started to realize the kind of influence she had with her appearance. She was one of the people that made feather bangs famous.

Her friends also saw how much Fawcett was loved for her big layered blonde hair, so they often advised her to start a hair line. Eventually, her hair and beauty led her to become the face of Wella Balsam shampoo and Ultra-Brite toothpaste.

Her influence only got bigger from there. Women started walking into salons, asking for "The Farrah." While the actress initially capitalized on her influence through commercials, she eventually launched her own shampoo line in 1978.

One hairstylist, Jose Eber, who became famous for styling Fawcett's hair, claimed that the actress' haircut would forever be remembered. Eber praised how she carried herself with a lot of freedom and had an iconic smile and sense of style.

Losing Her Hair to Cancer

After a fulfilling career that spanned decades, Fawcett met her end in 2009. She was reportedly with her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal, friend Alana Stewart, friend and hairdresser Mela Murphy, and her doctor Lawrence Piro when she died.

The final years of her life were punctuated by health problems, and she had to face one of her biggest fears after a cancer diagnosis when she was 58.

Her close friends and family had watched how the actress did everything she could to care for her hair to avoid losing it. But after her last round of chemotherapy, her hair started falling out.

Fawcett was reportedly sad, but towards the end of her battle, she had entirely made peace with her situation.

However, the actress was brave enough to share this journey with her fans and had Stewart help her record her experience with cancer. Murphy still vividly recalled the day Fawcett was ready to shave it all off.

With each touch, the hair stylist remembered seeing big chunks fall out. Surprisingly, Fawcett was stronger than he was about everything. Eventually, the actress decided to take the big step of shaving her head.

According to her doctor, it was important for her to shave her own head because she did not want to be defined by cancer or her hair. The moment represented her refusing to be the victim and choosing to come out of the experience victorious.

Sharing her cancer journey was to show fans that there was no glamour behind fighting the torturous disease. Her doctor, Piro, explained, "She wanted to show everyone that cancer looks the same on one of the most glamorous, beautiful women in the world as it looks on every other woman and every other man."

In the footage that Stewart captured of her, Fawcett was seen without her iconic hair for the first time. She was reportedly skeptical about letting the camera roll, but she was brave enough to share the reality of fighting cancer.

Over a decade after her passing, Fawcett's hair is still iconic. There are reportedly 31 million views of videos with the hashtag #farrahfawcett of people recreating her famous layered haircut on TikTok. Her haircut is still the "must-have" it was in the 70s.
