Hilary Swank's New Haircut - Oprah Winfrey Cuts Hilary's Hair

Thursday November 1, 2007
When Oscar winner Hilary Swank decided that it was time for a hairstyle change, she bravely allowed talk show host Oprah Winfrey to cut her hair on the show. Oprah grabbed the scissors and went to town on Hilary's hair in an effort to spread the word about a wonderful charity. Hilary, 33, allowed Oprah to chop nearly nine inches of her hair with plans to donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

The program supports women who have lost their hair through cancer. "I've been growing it for the last six months to donate my hair. I've been taking a lot of vitamins and taking really good care of it, knowing that it would go to a woman in need," Hilary told the audience. The show airs this Friday November 2nd and should hopefully bring much needed attention to a great cause.
