Earlier today, Emma Watson debuted her new pixie cut via Facebook proclaiming to her fans:

“Dear all. Cut my hair off a few days ago… Feels incredible. I love it. I’ve wanted to do this for years and years; it’s the most liberating thing ever. Hope you like. Big love from Emma x”

Emma’s new cut is very Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby, no? I admire girls who go short, especially when our culture prize long hair – think of all those Hollywood starlets with extensions. And a lot of girls think of long hair as almost a beauty security blanket – think of all those girls crying on America’s Next Top Model when they learn that they have to cut all their hair off. So it’s refreshing to see someone rock a pixie cut. And as Emma said, it certainly is liberating. I’m thinking of chopping off my hair and donating it again, but I don’t think I can go that short, I’m not that ballsy. The shortest I’ve ever gone was a bob. But I like the look on Emma, it’s cute!
