The heartbreaking reason why Sinead O'Connor shaved her head SineadOConnor
Many celebrities have made headlines by shaving off their hair, from Britney Spears to Natalie Portman.The Grammy-winning singer, who was propelled to international stardom in 1990 with her version of the hit ballad Nothing Compares 2 U, has died aged 56, a statement from her family on Wednesday said.
The star first shaved her head at the age of 20 as her way of projecting a more androgynous look, as music producers wanted her to look feminine, but she later divulged there were some dark reasons behind her hairstyle. In the 2017 talk, Sinead explained: “My sister had the most beautiful red hair, glorious red hair, the type you’d be jealous of. But my mother took it into her head that my sister’s hair was ugly, and horrible and disgusting.
“I didn’t want to be raped or molested, I didn’t want to dress like a girl, I didn’t want to be pretty. Other girls beat you up if you were pretty too.” At a time when she began to grow her hair back, she shaved it off again as she was compared to Irish singer Enya.
