Quinta Brunson on the Liberation of Her Haircut: I Had Second Thoughts, But It Feels Like Me”

Written by Trish B.

Actress Quinta Brunson, says she loves her hair. “I’ve been planning it for a really long time and I kept getting cold feet and I decided it was time to stop getting cold feet and just cut it off,” the actress said of the look, which she slicked back with a curl on the side for occasion. 

Rassi then asked the actress of her first reaction to the haircut, to which she said she felt “shock, but then complete freedom.”

“Like, I have never felt better. I just feel very much like myself. It’s like a piece of me that I was trying to get for a long time,” Brunson continued.

She showed off the pixie cut earlier this week at the 2024 BAFTA TV Tea Party event in Beverly Hills, Calif., where she styled her bangs in front of her face.

Abbott Elementary received eight Emmy Award nominations, including for best directing for a comedy series, outstanding comedy series, and outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Brunson. The comedian wore a glittering black strapless Georges Chakra FW24 couture gown that extended down at the knee into a dramatic train to the starry occasion. The length of the dress was accentuated by two large matching bows on the sides. Brunson has been starring in, executive producing, and writing for the mockumentary comedy series, which she created, since its premiere in 2021. The program, in which she stars as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues, will return for a fourth season on October 9.
