Zoe Saldana’s short haircut strategy

The US actress Zoe Saldana said she could wake up one day and chop her hair off into a pixie crop.

She teased: "At some point I might just want to chop it all off and go really short. I'll just wake up in the morning and, well ... you know."

The 34-year-old beauty has a novel approach to getting a haircut and admits she likes to pluck up the courage at home and snip off her own hair before visiting the hairdressers.

Zoe said: "If I want to chop off my hair, I'll take scissors and do one side before I even go to the hairdresser. It's all about trusting my instincts. Plus, that way I can't change my mind!"

The sexy star also revealed she is keen to return to her Dominican and Puerto Rican roots and give her hair a break by letting it revert to its natural Afro style.

Zoe added in an interview with InStyle Hair magazine: "It's been eight months since my last straightening treatment, and I'm going to let it all grow. It's been a long time since I've woken up with my hair looking like an Afro. I can't wait to have that again."
