Demi Lovato told Ellen DeGeneres that having short hair makes her feel more like herself.
The singer told the talk show host, “I feel so free. I feel more authentic to who I am. I also feel like I used to hide behind my hair.”
She continued, “I’ve talked a lot about my past and being in recovery from an eating disorder. I used to use my hair to hide behind. It would cover my body. So when I started doing all this work on myself, I thought, ‘What is something that I’ve been holding onto my whole life that I need to let go of?’ And it was that. I feel more myself now.”
Lovato first debuted her short locks on Instagram in November 2020.
