Paris Hilton<\/a> is reflecting on the short haircut she made trendy in the early aughts.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old blonde bombshell \u2014 who just partnered with\u00a0Paul Mitchell<\/a>\u2014 said the big chop was not intentional.<\/p>\n

‘I was not paying attention, just like on my phone and then I looked up \u2014 and I had like long hair all the way down to my waist at this point \u2014 and I looked up and he had cut my hair all the way to my ears,’ she remembered in a chat with UsWeekly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She said she called her sister Nicky Hilton<\/a>, 41, after the upsetting ordeal.<\/p>\n

‘I was so in shock and I looked in the mirror and I didn\u2019t know what to say. [The hairstylist] is like “Do you like it?” And I went to the bathroom and called my sister crying,’ the entrepreneur recalled.<\/p>\n

The haircut ended up inspiring young women after Paris embraced the unique look on red carpets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I got extensions to make it like a cute bob, and I liked it, but that was… yeah, that was not done purposely,’ she revealed.<\/p>\n

Its popularity also made her more comfortable as she shared, ‘Then it became a trend, and everyone started cutting their hair. So, I was like, “OK.”‘<\/p>\n

Paris has been named the global ambassador for hair giant Paul Mitchell.<\/p>\n

The mother-of-two looked flawless in an accompanying glamorous photo shoot that showed her golden locks arranged in several styles.<\/p>\n

Her hair was styled in a blunt bob with a center part and dark roots in one look.<\/p>\n

Paul Mitchell describes the campaign as a ‘love letter to professional hairstylists.’<\/p>\n
