Even though Kristen is still on good terms with ex Rob, she's eager to put all of their romantic drama - including her affair with director Rupert Sanders - behind her with a whole new look, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

It's not uncommon for women to make a fresh start by cutting their hair after a breakup, and it looks like Kristen Stewart is no exception!

Kristen Stewart's Hairstyle: Star Cutting Hair To Purge Robert Pattinson Drama

Kristen looks as stunning as ever with short hair, but we have to ask - what made her cut off most of her lovely locks?

'Kristen wanted a change, she wanted to change things up. It was completely her decision to cut her hair,' an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. 'She's done with the past and wants to be known for her work instead of any of the scandals that happened in the past. She feels really positive about herself and is just excited about her new freedom - letting go of regrets, stuff that holds you back. She's moved on.'

Take Our Poll

Our source is of course referring to Kristen's highly publicized 2012 affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, which ultimately broke up both his marriage with actress Liberty Ross and K-Stew's relationship with Rob. Kristen and Rob reunited briefly after that breakup but things were never the same and they ended up splitting for good in 2013. No wonder Kristen is more than ready to move on from all of her Robsten drama!

'Kristen is so over the whole Robsten thing. Cutting her hair was like purging that whole image,' our insider reveals.

Good for Kristen! We love that she made this big symbolic move and we hope that it will only bring more good things into her life!
