Solange Goes Bald: Hot or Not?





 alt
While some bloggers complained that they hoped Solange’s new bald cut wouldn’t be the talk of the town, it definitely has been. Why did Solo cut off her hair? Is she declaring that bald is beautiful? Is she signaling that she has a new lease on life? Is she still trying to escape big sis’s shadow?


Actually, her new hairdo probably has nothing to do with any of the aforementioned reasons. More than likely, Solange, who has made no qualms about speaking her mind and expressing herself (like it or not) just felt like doing something different. Besides, it’s not like she hasn’t rocked a bald head before — she did it in high school, too.


Yes, some folks are in an uproar about her hair (pipe down folks, it’s never that serious) but lot of people think she not only looks great, but believe that black women shaving their hair is a forsaken expression of beauty that needs to be reclaimed.



“[For] the record i [sic] like black women with that Caesar and fade look… it’s what looks good on tribal women [in] Africa and here too…” Grand Hustle rapper, Killer Mike said on Twitter, which generated a slew of co-signs.


“A fresh cut beats a tired weave all day!” he went on to say. “Amber Rose was a regular lite [sic] chic with “good hair” now she a 10…”



Remember back when Zhane, Erykah Badu and India.Arie introduced their baldies? They are all beautiful women who make music that’s consistent with the strength they exude. So maybe people need to lay off of Solange’s new hairdo, and go find some razors themselves. –jh
