Halle Berry‘s hairstyle evolution is just as versatile as her career in Hollywood. The actress, who has played iconic characters such as Catwoman and Storm, is constantly experimenting with different haircuts and styling techniques. Over the years, she went from sporting lengthy locks to a pixie cut, from tight curls to a bob.
“Growing up as a black woman, I felt that if I didn’t have long hair, I wasn’t going to be beautiful. I always thought that. Cutting my hair was freeing. Someone saying you’re beautiful and the fact that you have no hair makes you even more beautiful, said to me it’s not about my hair. It’s about something else we emanate. I’ve lived with that my whole life,” Berry told the Huffington Post in 2012.
