Actually yes it is common.
A lot of asian girls back in Japan would cut off most of their hair
at the death of a realitive,or even a boyfriend dumping them.
It's a way of cutting off the past,I guess.
I wouldnt do it

Oddly enough, I understand where she was coming from when she did it. She was deeply depressed and was tired of people constantly touching her, i.e. her stylists doing her hair and make-up. She wanted to break away from that, IMO. She wanted to take control of her life and cutting off her hair was her way of doing it. A lot of people do behave that way when they feel like they have had their personal power taken away from them.
Make not war
They do, but only in America people tend to find it weird....go out of your bubble for just once!
sharePersonally, I don't think it looked very good but it's her hair..if she wants it short, it's her buisness only.

There is no doubt in my mind she shaved her head to avoid a positive drug testing result. At the time she was in a contentious child custody battle with Kevin.
"Hair drug testing works like this:
Hair testing is considered accurate and can go back as far as 90 days?[16], As hair grows out, any drugs used are encased in the hair shaft. Longer hair can reveal an individual's drug history spanning a longer period than shorter hair. Human hair grows an average of .5 inches/month, which corresponds to 30 days of possible drug testing for approximately every .5 inch. Testing laboratories generally require between 0.5 and 1.5 inches for testing. This represents approximately 30 to 90 days of drug use. The standard for hair 1.5 inches or longer is 80 strand or 120 if only .5 inches as it is by picogram weight that the hair is uniformly tested. Some people attempt to circumvent this through shaving their heads. This does not usually work. In the absence of the required amount of hair on the scalp, body hair can be used as an acceptable substitute in the order of face, chest, arm pit, and on some occasions the police use leg hair that has a shorter slower growth rate. If all hair is shaven, the follicles of the hair may be used in place of the hair. Hair follicle testing is normally not part of an employer-based drug testing program using hair.
Additionally for pre-employment hair testing, the inability to obtain a sample may be grounds for not hiring the individual. Hair Testing labs are regulated by CLIA or SAMHSA. There is a growing trend in major companies and law enforcement agencies to utilize hair analysis on account of its efficiency and reputation as the gold standard when considering test accuracy. This technology makes use of radioimmunoassay or the ELISA technology with subsequent confirmation by mass spectrometry.
In recent years, hair testing has been the subject of a number of lawsuits. Studies have shown that different ethnic groups have different hair structure, potentially leading to false positives.[17].
Shampoos are available to help subjects pass tests, however almost all of the products are just Aloe rid clarifying shampoo some with laundry detergent added. The aloe rid will help during detoxing to cut down on second-hand contamination from sweat and scalp oils. A two-step process that opens the cuticle layer and allows deeper penetration is used. Some laboratories perform extensive wash procedures on each hair sample to eliminate the possibility of a false positive from drug residue on the outside of the hair shaft.
