Help Monica Potter Pick a New Haircut for the New Season of NBC’s Parenthood

Monica Potter is getting plenty of Emmy buzz for her heart-wrenching portrayal of cancer-stricken Kristina Braverman in season four of Parenthood, and now that her character is in remission (and the show is returning for season five in the fall!), Potter is going to forgo a wig and chop her hair to mirror the current state of her character’s.

Monica told me exclusively that “getting [my hair] cut would feel a lot better than wearing a scratchy wig! The producers gave me the choice to do either. There is something very liberating, exciting—and a bit scary—about getting your hair cut short. I’m looking at this as a symbol of rebirth for Kristina as well.”

And now, Potter has taken to Twitter (and Glamour!) to ask fans to pick her new hairstyle!

So why ask fans to give their input about something that’s so personal? For Monica, it seemed like a fun way to get her Twitter followers involved. “For four years, Kristina has had long flowing locks—until the head-shaving sequence—and I felt like her hair was such a big part of her. I wanted to share the process of giving her a new look!”

Check out the nine looks below, and then vote for your favorite in our poll. As for which look Monica is aiming for? “My hair is pretty fine and curly. Plus, there’s a lot of it, so I’m looking for a cut that will be fun to wear curly or straight. My husband actually likes short hair on women, so that’s a plus!”

So now it’s your turn! Check Monica’s Twitter and Facebook page Friday to see the look she chooses!
