"I feel very lucky to be able to look at those photos and feel good about myself," she reflected. "A couple of years ago, I don't know if I would have felt that way."
"I've waited for that moment my entire life, and there I am, with the hair that my mother and father gave me and with [minimal] makeup on, in a way I'm proud of," she continued.
Halsey concluded, "To be cool with the world seeing me that way… that says a lot to me about how I've grown as a person. I feel really happy and peaceful."

Halsey Credited Her Hair for 'a Big Indicator of Racial Issues' in Her Life
Halsey said her hair has been a 'big indicator of racial issues' in her life.
The 31-year-old singer, mother of son Ender Aydin, 5, with ex Alev Aydin, previously got candid about how her hair has played a major role in her life.
"Hair has also been a big indicator of racial issues in my life," she explained to Nylon in 2016.
"It's one of the ultimate symbolic struggles for women of color. Shaving my head was important to me because I needed to be able to prove that I could still love myself if I did it," she concluded.
