Redditor whitlesandshit has posted a series of pop cultural hairstyle recreations via her account. The website member did so in the hopes of attending a 21+ Ben Folds Five concert. As she was underage, she decided to cut off all her hair in an attempt to use her brothers identification.
Prior to cutting her tresses off, whistlesandshit remade a series of classic hair cut scenes. Amongst the pop culture scenes referenced were those involving Skrillex, Sinead O'Connor, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Britney Spears. She did so in an accurate manner, faking tears and uncomfortable moments set before the camera. To get at the characters, she incorporated a variety of props, including prescription glasses and faux piercings.
