Model breaks contract to cut hair after friend's death 🙅‍♀️

After losing a close friend to cancer, a model decided to cut off her hair as a way of coping with the loss. However, her modeling contract stipulated that she couldn't alter her appearance without prior consent, and when she couldn't get it, she took matters into her own hands.

The result? She was released from her contract and is now facing the ire of her family who are unhappy with her actions. Despite the backlash, the model feels that cutting her hair was cathartic and helped her in her grieving process.

She now faces an uncertain future, but she's determined to fight on. In this post, we'll take a closer look at her story and explore the reactions it has garnered from the public.
