Doja Cat alarmed her fans when she went on Instagram live to shave off all of her hair and eyebrows past week.
The famously eccentric 26-year-old rapper and singer, who was born in Los Angeles as Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, told her 24 million Instagram fans that it was therapeutic for her to change up her look in such a drastic way.
“It’s very funny how much of an effect taking my hair off my head, how much that has positively influenced me,” she told her fans. “I can swim. Which is a big deal for me cause I love to surf. I can swim. I can work out. I can do like real strenuous f—ing workouts. I can sweat my a– off.”

“Another thing, kinda like a fun thing for me is that my wigs are gonna lay flatter if I ever do wanna wear a wig, it’ll just lay flatter,” Doja continued. “If I wanna do like a buzz cut color, I can do any color I want without actually doing it on my own head, I can still do a buzz cut wig. Either way, it’s like much easier.”
After fans expressed their concern for her mental well-being, Doja told her fans that she is fine.
“If you really have love for me, and you really are concerned about me, I want you to know this isn’t a cry for help or issue of any sort. This is just me having no hair, and I’m still the same me,” she added.
Some of her faithful followers love the new look.
