Cindy Crawford recalls ‘traumatizing’ moment that a hairdresser CHOPPED OFF her ponytail off ‘without asking’ in Rome: ‘I was in shock’
Cindy Crawford is known for many things — short hair is not one of them.
The iconic 57-year-old supermodel opened up in the new Apple TV Plus documentary, aptly titled The Supermodels, about how a ‘traumatizing’ haircut at the start of her career solidified her desire to never have short hair again.
In the first episode of the documentary, Cindy recounts her first big break after being discovered in Illinois — a photoshoot in Rome with famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
However, Patrick had one stipulation for the shoot — for the brunette beauty to chop her long tresses short.
The agency Cindy was working for at the time ultimately decided against it, however, the photographer agreed to let the supermodel in training on the shoot anyway.

The 5’9 beauty recalled how ‘excited’ she was, adding, ‘It was a great opportunity.’
However, things took a turn for the worse the first night she arrived in the Italian city.
‘The very first night, they send the hairdresser to my room to give me a ‘trim,” the bombshell explained.
After putting her voluminous tresses in a ponytail, they, ‘chop[ped] my ponytail off without asking,’ the catwalk expert revealed.
In shock, Cindy admitted that she just ‘sat there in a hotel in Rome crying.’
‘People wonder why I’ve never really cut my hair since then — that’s why. I was so traumatized,’ the Fair Game star confessed.
She explained that the reason why she was so upset wasn’t about the haircut itself, but rather, because she had no say in the matter at the time.
‘It wasn’t that I didn’t like my hair short, it was that I hadn’t voted myself in to having short hair,’ the Simian Line starlet said.
She actually contemplated if modeling was even worth it, adding, ‘I really felt I was not seen as a person who had a voice in her own destiny.’
