What a difference it is between shaving your head to look like a hipster and shaving your head for an actual reason, because not only is Kellie Pickler getting great reviews on her new look, she’s being praised for her reasoning behind it.

After her best friend, Summer Miller, was diagnosed with breast cancer, Pickler decided to join her in shaving her head just days prior to starting chemotherapy treatment to bring awareness to the importance of self checks and early detection.

“Cancer does not discriminate,” said Pickler in an interview about her new ‘do. “If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it.”

We think the singer looks stunning! What do you think of the look? Could you do something that drastic for a friend?
