What Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison Haircut Reportedly Reveals Amid the Epstein Scandal

Ghislaine Maxwell’s haircut seems to tell a larger story.

On Monday, February 9, Maxwell appeared virtually from Texas’ Federal Prison Camp Bryan to testify in front of the House Oversight Committee about the Epstein scandal. The former socialite is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein.

In footage from the hearing, Maxwell — who pleaded the Fifth and did not answer questions — could be seen wearing a beige prison garment while sporting her signature short black haircut.

“For the first time since Maxwell was arrested in 2020, her posh pixie cut was back,” according to a Wednesday, February 11 article by The Cut.

Federal prison consultant Sam Mangel told the outlet that Maxwell likely used “prison currency,” such as canned fish, to get the haircut, and received a more precise cut because she is at a minimum-security prison, where scissors can be sharper than at a high-security prison.

“You can’t control what you eat, what time you go to bed, what you wear. What you can control is your appearance,” Mangel added.

However, Dr. Geri Fischman, a senior trial consultant, told the outlet that going back to her old look wasn’t the best idea in her opinion.

“The best tack to take now is for Ms. Maxwell to try to soften and neutralize her appearance,” Fischman explained. “To look socially unremarkable, in a sense. She must look composed, humble, and common. The goal is to psychologically distance her from the world she once lived in.”
