“It grew to an awkward gross length, and I kept putting it back in a bun and I was like ‘I don’t want to do this,’ so I just cut it off,” Lawrence told director Francis Lawrence and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. She added, “It couldn’t get any uglier.”

Lawrence debuted the dramatic new hairdo in a Facebook photo on Wednesday, Nov. 6. A source told Us Weekly that Riawna Capri, a stylist at West Hollywood’s Nine Zero One Salon, cut and dyed the Oscar winner’s hair a few weeks ago. Another insider described the look as “kind of a punk pixie cut that has a few longer pieces on one side but is shorter everywhere else.”

She also recalled: “I remember when I bought the ‘NSYNC CD, and I was listening to it and I was flipping through — remember how CDs had the pull-out picture things? And I was getting so overwhelmed with hormones that I almost threw up.”
