20 Women Who Dared to Cut Their Own Hair, and the Result Left Us in Awe

A hairstyle has the power to completely transform us and define the way we’re seen by others, therefore it is never easy to take the decision to chop off our hair. And it is even harder when we hold a scissor and decide to do it ourself. Yet, some talented women dared to take matters into their own hands and cut their locks to unveil a new look and their bold personality.

Now I’ve Seen Everything wants to share the before and after of 20 women who chopped their own hair and never looked back.
