Shailene Woodley debuts shorter hair, slams 'Secret Life of an
American Teenager'
By Terri Schwartz

Shailene Woodley's MTV Video Music Awards slicked back hair was just a
taste of what her "The Fault in Our Stars" 'do looks like. The
21-year-old was spotted on the movie's Philadelphia set sporting a
much more Hazel-like hair style than what was previously revealed.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Flaunt, Woodley opens up about another
project that gives insights into teenage life, but was one she didn't
feel as much of a kinship with as with "Fault." The project is "The
Secret Life of an American Teenager," which helped cement Woodley's
popularity and aired its series finale earlier this year.

"I didn't like it because if it started to change, I had no control
over it. It's like anything in life, whether you're an actor or you
work in an insurance office, if you want to be able to leave your job,
it's nice to be able to leave your job. But when you're in a contract,
unfortunately, you can't do that," Woodley says of her time on "Secret
Life."

She continues, "I'm extremely grateful for it; it was a fantastic five
years of my life, but towards the end, morally, the things that we
were preaching on that show weren't really aligned with my own
integrity. So that was a bit hard to show up to work every day knowing
that we were going to project all of these themes to thousands --
millions -- of young adults across the country, when in fact they
weren't what I would like to be sending out."

Woodley also opens up about her "fairly alternative" lifestyle, which
is markedly different from what other celebrities of her ilk talk
about.

"I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a
farm to get my food. I make everything from my own toothpaste to my
own body lotions and face oils," she says. "I could go on for hours. I
make my own medicines; I don't get those from doctors. I make my own
cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants. It's an entire
lifestyle. It's appealing to my soul."
