‘Shaving my head and acting were my ways of pushing myself away.’

In 2007, Britney infamously shaved her head at a hair salon in Tarzana, a suburb of Los Angeles, a day after leaving a rehab facility in Antigua. Britney later re-entered treatment.

As a result, a year later Britney was placed under court supervision in 2008 which gave her father and lawyer complete control over her financial and personal affairs.

Britney also revealed that the conservatorship prevented her from keeping the look as she wrote: “Under the conservatorship I realized those days are over now.

“I had to grow my hair out and get back in shape.” I had to go to bed early and take the medicine I was told to take.’
