Why Halle Berry Will Always Have An Affinity For Short Hair


When a woman cuts her hair, she's about to change her life. But when a woman is able to let that hurt go, she can change the world. According to Halle Berry, rocking a pixie cut allowed her to do both at the same damn time.

Halle Berry is an icon when it comes to all things beauty and style, and her epic hairstyles have been giving us life since the '90s. In a recent interview, Halle revealed that cutting her hair was ultimately what gave her both confidence and the opportunity to take over the entertainment industry. The 52-year-old actress said that in fact, it wasn't until she trimmed her tresses that she got her first big break. She told InStyle:

"I think that's because the directors and producers actually saw me. Before that I had long hair like every other girl like me. So I have an affinity for short hair."

The mother-of-two has been out here snatching edges for more than two consecutive decades, sporting long and short 'dos alike, but to Halle, her pixie cut phase in the '90s was when she felt like her "best self":

"I had no hair to hide behind, it was just all me. Take it or leave it; love it or hate it. It was who I was."

You are more than your bundles, eyelashes, and whatever other high-end beauty fad is trending right now. You're like an onion, sis, you got layers, and there's no better way to discover what's beneath the surface than trying out a new haircut.

Three Influencers Show Off Their 2022 Holiday Hair Looks Using Their SheaMoisture Faves

This post is in partnership with SheaMoisture.

For Black women, there’s one compliment that will boost our confidence like none other: “Come through hair!” You know the vibe! Walking into a room with folks acknowledging that your hair is laid for the gawds, and the effort that it took to get it there, is a top five feeling. And with the holiday season just weeks away, you’ll be hearing that quite often. Between Thanksgiving gatherings with the family, Friendsgiving, company parties, and Christmas get-togethers, the opportunities to let your hair show up and show out aren’t too far away.

Apart from the holiday stuntin’, the end-of-year slow down is also the perfect opportunity to reevaluate the year your hair has had. Whether you kept it cute with protective braids, went big with blowouts, or let loose with textured twist-outs, this is the perfect time to give your hair the gift of TLC - tender lovin’ curls. Like the weather, our hair goes through seasons and has different needs depending on what we’ve put it through. Perhaps the transition into fall/winter has left your curls a bit parched and in need of some serious hydration. Or maybe your strands could use some restorative conditioning after taking it down from a convenient protective style. No matter what category you fall into, SheaMoisture has hundreds of ways that you can clean, treat and refresh your hair for a healthy shine that will bring you into the new year right. Bring your curls back to life with the nourishing and fragrant Coconut & Hibiscus line. Boosted with natural ingredients such as coconut oil, neem oil, carrot oil, and shea butter, this line is the antidote to reviving thirsty, dehydrated hair. Even better - with SheaMoisture’s custom quiz, you can get a hair analysis that will lead you to the right products for your hair needs. Say hello to sleek edges, and moisturized, stronger strands.
