Alyssa Milano is a short hair rebel. While riding a wave of popularity as her role as sister witch, Phoebe Halliwell on WB’s Charmed, the brunette beauty shocked legions of fans by suddenly appearing onscreen with a Twiggy inspired short pixie hairstyle.
Even though Phoebe has access to the very best celebrity hairdressers that LA has to offer, she broke all established short hair style selection rules and went with a short style that she loved.
She ignored the generally accepted rule that a super short hair cut is not ideal for someone with a prominent chin or wide cheekbones. Alyssa has a fairly well defined heart shaped face with a prominent chin. Her cheeks are full and her forehead is much wider than her lower face.
Regardless, Alyssa went with a pixie style. In reality she was like many other celebrities that frequently defy the established hair and beauty world rules about short hair selection. Making a radical shift from medium or long hair to short hair is a visible way of establishing a rebel or rogue personality.

One of the most famous hair choppings involved Mia Farrow when she agreed to have famous hairdresser Vidal Sasson take her from super long to super pixie while new husband Frank Sinatra watched in horror. Celebrity hairdresser Peter Lamas told me during a phone interview some years ago, that he “was assisting Vidal during that famous Mia Farrow short hair cut”.
