Post-Shave Bounce Back: Natalie Portman

Hair makeovers can be traumatizing.  The risk of damage is great during dye jobs, bleachings, and stressful weaving.  Some women hate their new looks so much they consider shaving it all off.  While this is inadvisable for most mere mortals, it can be done gracefully.

Gorgeous actress Natalie Portman famously shaved her head for her role in V for Vendetta a few years ago.  Unsurprisingly, she remained gorgeous:

 If anything, the big shave just showed off Natalie's amazing, delicate bone structure and luminous eyes that much more.  It seems that Natalie never went through an awkward grow-out phase, either.

When her hair grew out, Natalie lightened up to this honey hue, which compliments her skin tone.

Natalie often wears her lightened tresses up in a somewhat messy but still elegant updo.  And yes, she still looks perfect.  If you're frustrated figuring out your next hair transformation, maybe you should consider changing your approach to makeup instead.  Don't Natalie's smoky eyes look pretty?
