Jennifer Lawrence's 'Chop': Your imaginary best friend just got a haute haircut. Jennifer Lawrence has taken a page from Karlie Kloss’s book by getting ‘chopped.’ That’s right, she’s lobbed off a lot of her hair. Beauty site Into The Gloss emailed with Lawrence’s hairstylist Mark Townsend for all the details. “Jennifer texted me that she needed a haircut and told me to bring a chainsaw,” he wrote. “When I showed up she answered the door saying, ‘I want to cut all my hair off!’ … I cut her hair into a shoulder-length shag with tons of layers throughout, starting around her cheekbone.” Townsend was so nerved by the process that he even nicked his finger “’cause my hands were shaking.” [Into The Gloss]
