I didn’t have a particular style in mind. It wasn’t an aesthetic choice, but it was a very big emotional transformation and metamorphosis that I was going through,” she explained.“So much of my identity as a performer has been connected to flowing hair. Cutting my hair off was me rebelling against being this woman that society thinks I’m supposed to be.”She went on to say: “I was a new mother, and something about the liberation of becoming a mother made me want to just shed all of that.
It was a physical representation of me shedding the expectations put upon me. I just wanted it off.”Concluding on the topic, Beyoncé said: “It was very intentional. And it was what I needed to do.
And after that, I became super brave.
