What would Britney do?

Britney Spears is under a lot of stress. Marrying Kevin Federline was her first cry for help. Did anyone hear her? Sadly, no. Later, she stopped wearing panties. When your mind's in chaos, you sometimes forget your underwear. Again, no one heeded the warning signs. Now she's shaved her head, and it wasn't because she got a wad of bubble gum stuck in her hair. Such drama. The girls from The L Word are no strangers to drama. Here's what it would look like if they reached for the clippers at the first sign of trouble.

bette_bald.jpg Bette: You're in a custody battle with your ex over Angelica. You have a new job. You're sleeping with a colleague. You have to learn sign language. It's enough to make you pull your hair out.

helena_bald.jpg Helena: You're broke. 'Nuff said.

jenny_bald.jpg Jenny: What wouldn't make you shave your head is a better question. Bad review? Get buzzed in protest. Writer's block? Get bald to clear your mind. Used your friends as literary fodder? Nothing says "contrition" like a chrome dome.

max_bald.jpg Max: OK, so your voice refuses to deepen, no matter how much testosterone you take. With a head like this, no one's going to think you're anything but all man.

shane_bald.jpg Shane: You had a smokin' hot Latina who loved you, but you left her standing at the altar. Your dad's a jerk and you're stuck taking care of his son. No one would blame you if you did something drastic. On the plus side, you can see again.

tina_bald.jpg Tina: You're back to being straight. There's nothing in your future but a lifetime of minivans, bad kissing and back hair. I feel for you. You were never the coolest one, but now? Shave your head. Here, I'll help you.
