I did some research back in 2022 on when the "jellyfishes" appeared, since it was just after she had them cut off (which was my 1st Aurora concert).

Here is what I found, she had 2 "intermediate" versions, where the rest of her hair was only slightly shorter than the jellyfishes:

Here in Melkweg on Feb 28th, she says that she cut it "a few days ago" (to Intermediate version 1):

Wow. This is great work. Thank you. I don't think I could have found this much on my own 😊💚

"which means she was 18 when her first album was released 10 years ago."

If you count the EP "Running With The Wolves" (May 4th 2015) then yes, she was 18, and 1.5 months from 19.

But for her actual album AMDGMAAF (March 11th 2016) she was 19 (and 3 months from 20).

Hehe. You are absolutely right. Just my bad math. Thank you. I have corrected the article. 😊

Thank you Rune! Every time I watch an Aurora Reaction video I see the reactors struggling to figure out how old she is in the video they are reacting to and I keep thinking that all they have to do is look at her hair and the shape of her face and it becomes so much easier to pinpoint. Of course, this implies a knowledge of her changes through the years and they can be excused for not knowing. I love your observations about her facial maturation since 2018 (and early live performances in 2017) and you have a very good eye for those physical differences.

Yes, true. Reactors often thinks she's younger than she is. Thank you for the kind words.

A question: Did the mail look OK when you recieved it? I got a notification saying it was too long a post for mail..?

Great article! I think she looks a bit like her sister Victoria now that she has matured and he face has thinned.

I like all of her hair styles, I wonder what will be next? She once said she liked long hair, but it hurt her brain or something like that. So I wonder if she will cut it again?
