Fact check: Did Greta Thunberg recently cut her own hair?

Checked on September 11, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The claim that Greta Thunberg recently cut her own hair is inconclusive based on the provided analyses. Some sources suggest that Greta Thunberg has debuted a new haircut, implying that her hair was cut, but do not specify whether she cut it herself [1]. Other sources do not provide any relevant information to support or refute the claim [2] [3] [4] [5]. Additionally, one source mentions criticism of Greta Thunberg's haircut, but does not specify who cut her hair [6].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key piece of missing context is whether Greta Thunberg actually cut her own hair, as most sources only mention that she has a new haircut [1]. Alternative viewpoints include the possibility that Greta Thunberg had her hair cut by a professional stylist, rather than cutting it herself. Some sources focus on criticism of her haircut, which may indicate that the haircut is a topic of public interest, but do not provide information on who cut her hair [6]. It is also possible that Greta Thunberg's haircut is not a significant event, and therefore not worthy of detailed reporting [4] [5].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading, as it implies that Greta Thunberg cut her own hair, when in fact there is no clear evidence to support this claim [2] [3]. This framing may benefit those who seek to criticize or mock Greta Thunberg, by implying that she is attention-seeking or eccentric [1] [6]. On the other hand, Greta Thunberg's supporters may be harmed by this framing, as it may distract from her climate activism and undermine her credibility [4] [5]. Overall, the original statement lacks clear evidence and may be motivated by bias or a desire to attract attention [2] [3].
