Demi Lovato wants to completely shave her head.

The 28-year-old singer - who chopped her hair into a pixie cut late last year - is keen to take things to the next level, although she knows it would be a major talking point.

She added to Glamour magazine: "My fans react when I colour my hair. If they didn’t like it, I saw it."

Reflecting on a moment in 2014 when she dyed her hair pink and shaved half her head, she admitted she was upset by the negative public response.

She explained: “It reignited that fear inside of me of being who I really am.”

Demi noted how cutting her hair represented "a symbolic shedding of the heteronormative box [she] was confined in for years.”

She added: "When I started getting older, I started realising how queer I really am.

“This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn’t work, I was like, 'This is a huge sign'. I thought I was going to spend my life with someone.

"Now that I wasn’t going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth.”

Last year, her longtime hairstylist Amber Maynard Bolt opened up on the significance of the pixie cut.

She said: "There is something about changing your hair so drastically that allows you to own yourself in a way you never thought!

"I’ve been doing Demi’s colour for almost 10 years now, so I’m no stranger to change with her! This is biggest yet. She is one of those rare individuals who can pull off almost any look...

"[Demi was] her own inspiration... This look was a direct reflection of who she is and how she feels."

And just last month, the 'Sorry Not Sorry' hitmaker admitted the change of style was liberating.

She explained: "I’ve talked a lot about my past, being in recovery from an eating disorder, and I used to use my hair to hide behind — it would cover my body... I feel more like myself now.”
