Natalie Maines’ New Look

twain2country · Guru

I'm not a Chicks' fan, but Natalie is making a bold statement with that hair-do.

STF1 · Senior Member

I have read a few comments on websites, some ppl are really laying into her over it, I think there have been some awful comments, but I guess that is to do with the problems from what she said in the past. She had short hair before, as have other female country artists and nobody said they were doing it for attention. disbelief Its only a hairstyle, sometimes you feel like a change, ppl are so unfair. I think when we see a nice studio pic it will look very nice, short hair can be modern and chic looking. What do the guys here think of it?

I do like some of the chicks music.Her comments are way over the top for me but i do have to say she has got guts.It can really destroy a celebrity's career when they take a stance on some issue's.As far as her hair goes its a little short for my taste but its really got to be a time saver for her.

I wonder sometimes, I like it when celebrities speak their mind, but it does get them into trouble and it might be better to not talk about issues like Natalie did. Shania is very wise to not do that, ppl would turn on her very easily. I know she is vegetarian and loves animals very dearly but if she used her fame to highlight those issues she would guarantee to have groups of ppl turn against her. I find that very sad because I believe in freedom of speech and I thought America did, I have sympathy with Natalie. She isnt the first to disagree with Bush's policies but its sad that she got such a nasty reception. Because it is her, ppl are using her changing to a short hairstyle to take out their anger for what she said. I like her music, she had a short hairstyle before anyway so whats the big deal?

its simple,
some people are just sickos,they are full of hate and they are blowing off steam bashing celebrities on-line.
i saw some comments on CMT blog about Natalie's new haircut,some people are a shame for humanity,they even say she is gay because of that,they are morons. disbelief

some people would accuse even Mother Teresa,they are just sick,simple as that.

The net makes ppl more extreme, they would not dare say things to ppl's faces like that. disbelief

The same would happen with Shania if she cut her hair short Im sure, ppl who already dont like her will see it as an excuse to attack her or call her names, or question her sexuality, what right do they have to do that? I have quite long hair and sometimes I think about should I cut it real short for a new look or to make life easier, I would hate if ppl I knew judged me like they did with Natalie just because of that. blankstare

I think part of a celbs business is being liked by fans,so i think they have guts for speaking their minds but i have to say i disagree with most of them.The worst is Sean Penn and it maybe costing him at the box office.STF1 if you cut your hair sometimes it just takes a little time for your friends to adjust to the new look.

STF1 · Senior Member

That makes sense. I guess they have to consider what the reaction of ppl will be and I guess Natalie did have quite a lot cut off there, she always does what she pleases.

If you have worn your hair in one style for years and then chop it you will shock your friends the first time they see you, but they will get use to it.How much time a week does your hair take?My ex was a big Crystal Gail fan,we saw her once in concert and her hair was almost down to the floor,I always wondered how many hours it took to maintain that hair.

Just got a E-mail from the A.C.M. awards Brad Paisley reeled in his fourth A.C.M. video of year and third vocal event of the year trophy for his duet with Keith Urban.

Thanks Arsen.

I have not seen any new pictures since, I'm undecided about which look I like best for her.

kelc317 · Guru

To short for my taste,but to each their own.

STF1 · Senior Member

I guess it could be for time saving, she has 2 kids and maybe she wanted it more practical. Its not the best photo, I'll wait and see some professional photos. Short hair can look good if its done right. She had it short before.

I cut my hair short once and I didn't tell my husband,wow it freaked him out for awhile.But it was a real time saver.
