Anyone who went from long to short hair knows the fear that comes before getting such an extreme haircut and the relief after. As they say – short hair, don’t care!
We recently asked Bored Pandas around the world to share their hair makeovers before and after in pictures, and we were pleasantly surprised! Not only were these people unafraid of scissors choosing their new extreme hairstyles, but many of them also donated their long braids to good causes.
Now, we’ve picked the top extreme hair makeovers and combined them with the best internet finds. From badass bald girls giving their hair to charity to guys saying goodbye to the long locks look these extreme haircuts will certainly give you the courage to undergo a transformation of your own.
