The reactions to Barr’s new hairstyle were immediate and overwhelmingly positive.

Others noted the transformation’s impact on Barr’s beauty, stating, “More beautiful than EVER!!!” and “Ro! You should have done this long ago.

The mastermind behind Barr’s new look is none other than Andre Walker, a renowned hairstylist who also counts Halle Berry and Oprah Winfrey among his elite clientele. Walker, who crafted Berry’s iconic pixie cut, has long advocated for hairstyles that complement an individual’s natural hair and features.

Reflecting on common haircare errors, Walker remarked in 1997, “One mistake that most women make with their hair is going against what their hair is going to do for them. We always want a style that someone else has because it always looks better on someone else.” He also highlighted the relaxed bob as the simplest yet most attractive hairstyle to maintain, suggesting a philosophy of ease and natural beauty that appears to have influenced Barr’s latest hair transformation.

Barr’s influence on hair styling extends beyond her personal transformation to memorable moments on the set of her own show. Michael Fishman, who portrayed D.J. Conner in “Roseanne,” shared an instance from his youth when he was freed from his longstanding bowl cut by Barr herself.

Having been disallowed by Barr to cut his hair, Fishman was taken by surprise when Barr, commenting on the state of his hair, decided to take matters into her own hands and gave him a buzz cut, a change that delighted Fishman. Similarly, Lecy Goranson, the original Becky on the show, recounted how Barr, in a bold move, cut off Goranson’s ponytail on set after hearing her frustrations about not being allowed to change her hairstyle, a drastic action that Goranson ultimately appreciated for its liberating effect.

However, Barr’s journey has not been without controversy. Her career faced a significant setback when ABC canceled the revival of her namesake show following a tweet that was widely condemned for its racist implications towards Valerie Jarrett, a former Obama administration official. Barr’s tweet was a comment that led to swift backlash and the show’s cancellation. ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey described Barr’s remarks as “abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values.”

In her first national television interview since the scandal, Barr spoke to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, expressing remorse for her actions. “I’ve apologized a lot, it’s been two months,” she stated. “I feel like I have apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness and made recompense, that’s part of my religion.” Despite her apologies, the incident marked a low point in Barr’s career, with the actress acknowledging, “I made a mistake. It cost me my life’s work.” Interestingly, Barr had previously critiqued Jarrett’s hairstyle, saying that she needed to change it up.

Roseanne Barr’s new pixie cut symbolizes a transformation in her style journey. As fans embrace her new look, it remains to be seen how Barr will navigate the complex interplay of celebrity, personal identity, and redemption in the years to come.
