Britney Spears may have shaved off her hair in an act of rebellion against her mom, a source said yesterday.
The source, with the Los Angeles-based X17 photo agency that uncovered Britney's shear session at a Los Angeles hair salon Friday night, said Spears and her mom, Lynne, 50, had been feuding over the mother's demand that her 25-year-old daughter clean up her act and settle into motherhood herself.
Last Wednesday, Spears checked into Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre rehab clinic on the Caribbean island of Antigua - but stayed only 24 hours.
The source said Lynne and Britney, who is estranged from dancer hubby Kevin Federline, had been fighting about rehab since she returned to Los Angeles - and the photo agency has pictures to prove it.
So Spears shockingly shaved off her long locks to rebel against her mom, the source said.
Lynne, who lives in Kentwood, La., flew to Tinseltown last week to be with her daughter - and help take care of Britney's kids, Sean Preston, 18 months, and Jayden James, 5 months.
"Yes, Lynne took a flight to see her a few days ago," Britney's cousin Ernest Spears told The Post yesterday.
And on Friday, a paparazzo caught up with Lynne as she walked into a kids dance store and asked how Britney was doing.
"We are worrying about her, we just want to make sure everything is fine," the shutterbug told the mother.
Lynne gave a thumbs-up and nodded yes.
In a never-to-be-forgotten act of letting her hair down, Britney waltzed into Esther's Haircutting Studio in the Tarzana section of Los Angeles on Friday and asked owner Esther Tognozzi to shave her head.
When Tognozzi refused, Britney grabbed electric clippers and gave herself a buzz cut.
When she finished, she declared: "Oh, my God, I shaved it all off. My mom is going to be upset with me."
Then as TV cameras rolled, shutterbugs snapped and onlookers cheered and jeered, Britney put a hood over her hairless head, got into her black SUV and was driven to the Body and Soul Tattoo parlor.
There, she had red-and-pink lips tattooed on her wrist and a black, white and pink cross inked on her lower hip.
Then she got into her SUV and drove off into the night.
She is now believed to be holed up in her Malibu mansion.
A Las Vegas gossip Web site offers another possible reason for Britney "Shears" becoming a bald bimbo.
Three weeks ago, it says, she went to a salon in the Palms hotel and casino in Las Vegas. There, staffers found her hair was so badly damaged from repeated dyeings, bleachings and extensions that it had broken off and thinned to the point "where bald spots had begun to appear," the site reported.
So she clipped it off to start over.
Meanwhile, OK! magazine reports that Spears is selling the six-bedroom Beverly Hills mansion she bought two months ago for $7.2 million.
The singer hopes to make a tidy $300,000 profit by flipping the exquisite, 7,553-square-foot Tuscan villa, which has park-like grounds.
On Jan. 28, she and the kids returned to the Malibu mansion, which she used to share with soon-to-be-ex Federline.
