Pamela Anderson's short hair improved her love life.
The former 'Baywatch' babe - who married poker player Rick Salomon for the second time earlier this year - unveiled a short cropped pixie hairstyle last year and says it has remarkably changed her life for the better in some surprising ways.
She told French magazine Purple: "This haircut convinced a lot more people. It has struck a chord. It amazes me - even in love - how it's changed everything and encouraged real soul connections, less superficiality.
"I told Paul Desmarre of Christophe Salon Beverly Hills to come to my house later and cut it. Three hours later and voila!
"Not to get too personal, but it really helped me get out of a 'situation' that was not right, no matter how hard I wanted to believe otherwise.
"My family and dearest friends didn't bat an eye. I'm surprised we're even talking about this and at all the attention it's generated. I'm grateful, though; the response has been shockingly positive."
The 46-year-old star appears naked in a set of arty photos for the magazine and admits she is still a show off on camera, years after stripping off for Playboy for several cover shoots.
She added: "I'm a bit of an exhibitionist, and I like having the pictures taken. But seeing these was really something different, something we did. It's like a launching pad for what I'll do now.
"While looking at the pictures I was thinking to myself, is that really me? I mean you don't take a bad picture -- people always look their best in your pictures. It still was a shock to see how strong I look."

Paul Walker will appear in 'Fast and Furious 7' through Computer Generated Imagery (CGI).
The movie's lead actor died in a tragic car crash last November halfway through completing the latest instalment of the car racing franchise, but studio heads pressed ahead with the movie using doubles, digital wizardry and voice effects.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@al column: "They have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul's physique and they will be used for movement and as a base.
"Paul's face and voice will be used on top using CGI."
Final scenes for the film have been shot in Atlanta, Georgia, and co-star Vin Diesel - who plays Dominic Toretto alongside Paul's Brian O'Conner - told how the tragedy had affected the way he tackled his role.
He wrote on Facebook: "The transition into that Dom state of mind has always been an interesting one. Only this time there is added purpose, a collective goal to make this the best one in the series."
Vin also posted a picture of the last scene he shot with Paul, and paid tribute underneath.
He wrote: "There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared ... in the film we were now completing ... the magic captured ... and, in just how far we've come ... 'Fast and Furious 7' will be released ... April 10th 2015! P.S. He'd want you to know first."
The last movie in the series, 'Fast & Furious 6', made over $500 million at the global box office.

Tom Fletcher has written a song in tribute to his son, Buzz Michaelangelo.
The McBusted singer and his spouse Giovanna welcomed their first child into the world on March 13 and now Tom has posted the adorable track 'From Bump to Buzz' on YouTube accompanied by a black and white video which shows his wife's bump growing for nine months until Buzz was born.
In the video Tom stands opposite Giovanna holding a guitar and singing, while she's wearing a crop top to show her ever expanding bump and ends with the happy couple holding the little one in their arms.
Tom wrote on Twitter, "Well, here it is..."From Bump to Buzz" (sic)"
including a link to the video.
He then re-tweeted Giovanna's message: "So... I've been busy growing a little something over the last nine months... here's our 'something new'. Xxx (sic)"
Among Tom's lyrics are the lines: "There will come a morning you will open up your eyes, but it's what you do until that day arrives.
"You want to touch a mountain, taste the waterfall, you only have to see one, than you've seen them all.
"Gonna bet that tomorrow, that the sky is blue. I guess I'm ready, I think I'm ready, I hope I'm ready, for something new."
The musician is adjusting to parenthood and is surprised how quickly time has flown by since Buzz was born.
He added: "Buzz is now officially 1 week old. They grow up so fast! (sic)"

Kylie Minogue wants to be a Bond girl.
The 45-year-old singer would love to appear as Daniel Craig's love interest in a future installment of the James Bond film series, although she knows she would have to do it soon as she's not getting any younger.
She said: "I would be the oldest bond girl but of course it would be amazing."
The 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' hitmaker would follow in the footsteps of actresses including Halle Berry, Naomie Harris and Gemma Arterton if she locked lips with the famous spy character, and claims she would love to do more acting.
She added to the Daily Star newspaper: "I guess I get to do some kind of acting, doing videos or putting on a confident face when I don't really feel that way. But proper acting, I get such a thrill out of that."
The Australian beauty - who split from her boyfriend of five years, Andres Velencoso, last year - also opened up about her search for the right man.
She said: "He needs to be sincere, funny and be able to cope with me and my lifestyle. He has to be someone I admire as well."

Justin Bieber wants a house on the Isle Of Wight.
The 'Boyfriend' singer is thinking of investing in a holiday home on the island - located on the English Channel and only accessible by hovercraft or boat - as a perfect location to enjoy secluded holidays with on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez.
An insider told Showbiz Spy: "Justin wants somewhere quiet to escape to when it all gets too much.
"England has always appealed to him, and he wants somewhere that feels like it's cut of from the rest of the world - which is why he has his heart set on the Isle of Wight."
The 20-year-old pop star has already got his team on the hunt for the right house, and is sparing no expense.
The source added: "His people are putting out feelers and trying to find him the perfect property for him and Selena to enjoy as and when they feel like it. Of course, money is no object."
The property hunt comes after Justin sold his Calabasas home in Los Angeles to Khloe Kardashian earlier this month, following a string of complaints from neighbours over his wild antics.
Justin is now planning to settle into a home in Atlanta, Georgia as part of a bid to launch a hip-hop career.

Kanye West is buying Kim Kardashian a chain of fast food eateries.
The 36-year-old rapper, who owns several Fatburger bistros in Chicago through his company KW Foods LLC, is giving his fiancée 10 Burger King restaurants throughout Europe as a wedding gift.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "As always, Kanye is thinking outside the box when it comes to gifts for Kim.
"She owns all the jewels anyone could ever want, so he is taking the practical route by investing in businesses for her instead.
"He knows the fast food industry is reliable and lucrative, plus BK is international so he thinks it's the perfect fit for Kim.
"Kanye wants to buy her 10 restaurants across the UK, Italy and France, making her a real international businesswoman."
The 'Bound 2' hitmaker wants Kim to step away from her reality TV series 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' and start carving out a successful career in business.
The source added: "That's where he sees her future career, away from reality TV."
Meanwhile, the couple - who have nine-month-old daughter North together - are reportedly set to tie the knot in Paris on May 24.

Simon Cowell has introduced his mother to his son for the first time.
The 54-year-old music mogul hasn't seen his mum Julie, 88, in months, but he and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman paid her a visit in England earlier this week to introduce her to five-week-old Eric, who was named after her late husband.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was a lovely visit from Simon and Lauren, and Julie was thrilled.
"There were some very emotional moments when she got to hold and touch Eric and his name is obviously very poignant for Julie as her husband Eric died in 1999."
Simon previously revealed that he and Lauren, 36, were planning to move back to London after Eric's birth due to his demanding work schedule, but the pair will have to divide their time between the UK and the US as Lauren's eight-year-old son Adam - from her previous marriage with Andrew Silverman - lives in New York.
He said last month: "Lauren knows what my work schedule is so she is cool with that and we will travel a little bit.
"We made the decision to come back to the UK and she wants to live here for a while."

American band R5 were thrilled when they got to 'twerk' with One Direction.
The act - made up of Ross Lynch from Disney Channel's 'Austin & Ally', 'Glee' star Riker Lynch, Rocky Lynch, Rydel Lynch and Ellington Lee Ratliff, met the 'Midnight Memories' hitmakers at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles in January and ended up dancing with them after asking for tips on their future careers.
The only female member of the group, Rydel, told BANG Showbiz : "We were at the Teen Choice Awards and they sat in front of me. At one point in the show they were trying to get everyone to 'twerk' and Rocky stood up and 'twerked' right by Zayn's head."
After playing the lead role of Austin Moon in 'Austin & Ally', Ross has become a heartthrob like Harry Styles but says he never set out to be a teen icon and would rather become the next Mick Jagger.
Ross explained: "Don't think of it like the Harry of the group, think of it like the Mick Jagger, like the frontman.
"I don't want to be in any way like a teen icon of any sort ... I don't aim for that, it's cool if they think I'm that, it just happens but it's cool to be just a musician."
R5 dream of being as successful as One Direction and would love to play huge stadiums one day.
Ross added: "I think they have amazingly well written songs, they seem like really cool dudes, they seem like they enjoy it which is a good thing and they seem like they want it."
R5 have just finished the European leg of their 'Louder' World Tour but are hoping to return to the UK this summer.
