“I looked like I had an exposed brain,” the 27-year-old Grammy winner added.
It didn’t help that the big cut had some on social media worried about the star’s mental health.
“[They were] like, ‘Oh, this can’t possibly be her simply having fun. She has to be out of her mind. She has to be cuckoo,’” Doja recalled.
Despite the mixed reactions even the star’s own friends and family tried to talk her out of shaving her hair, she added, Doja is now completely on board with being bald.
“I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life, which is very strange,” she said.
“I felt beautiful when I had long hair. I definitely felt like a hot girl then, but I always do. There’s something so exhilarating about change; (it) showed me a different side of myself. I feel so new, fresh and sexy.”
The “Kiss Me More” songstress clearly isn’t afraid of standing up for her own version of beauty.
After showing off a series of wild makeup looks during Paris Fashion Week this season, she clapped back at a hater who tweeted she looked “ugly” and “like a tired old statue.”
She replied, “I wasn’t trying to look sexy or attractive. All of my makeup has a story and there are absolutely 0 rules and if there were you wouldn’t be the one making them.”
