Bald is Beautiful...my point of view...

Last week my best friend, Amy, sent a link on Facebook. She referred me to the site, Afrobella.com, that had a post on my current style. The post talks about 5 ways to wear the style and even discussed a few, influential, women that have embraced this look. The article inspired me to name some of my favorite bald-headed women. So here are a few of my faves young and old...

India Arie- India is one of my favorite artist. I've witnessed her hair journey from long locks to micros. She's known for her song, I am not my Hair, and continues to prove that point by always evolving with her many natural styles. Here she is rocking a short cut and airbrushed curls....



Chrisette Michelle- Another talented artist that has transitioned from the "Creamy Crack" with weave to the clippers. The drastic change was totally unexpected in my opinion...but I absolutely love it on her!!!



Jada Pinkett Smith- Yeah I know that she's gone much longer these days...but don't you remember when she rocked the short cut??? She was actually short for awhile and sported the 'do in, the movies, A Low Down Dirty Shame and Set it Off. Honestly, it's one of my favorite looks for her. I want her to bring it back!!!



Adrienne Banfield-Jones- Speaking of Jada...have you seen her mother??? This lady is gorgeous. I want to look as good as her when I get older. Jada must have been inspired by her mother to try this style. This woman truly wears it well...



Solange Knowles- Okay... I'll admit that I'm not the biggest Solange fan...and I did clown her when she cut her hair. However, the style has grown on me. It must be due to her cleaning up those edges and adding some kind of shape to her hair. Whatever it is...I like it!!! So kudos Solange. You've won me over...



Amber Rose- Now here's another person that I've never been a fan of. Buuuut...I do give props when they're due. Amber killed this look and capitalized on it. I've never seen such an irrelevant person remain relevant for so long. LOL!!! Good job Amber!!! You've become influential. Now everyone knows this style as the "Amber Rose".



Eva the Diva- I've been following the girl since her days on ANTM (when it was good). She was my favorite model and the most unique!!! I've always loved her short cut and spunk. She's truly a diva and gorgeous!!! Not to mention the sexy piece of chocolate that she snagged...Lance Gross ladies... Makes me proud to be bald. LOL!!! Go Eva!!!



Erykah Badu- I looooove Miss Erykah you hear me???!!! She's so misunderstood and that's what intrigues me the most about her. She manages to be weird and sexy at the same time. Like who does that??? Clearly she does. She changes her hair often and never has a problem with cutting her hair or going completely bald . Besides the three kids/three baby daddy part, she's one of my top 5 artists hands down...



Grace Jones- How dare I post about influential bald-heads without mentioning this icon???!!! This woman has always pushed the envelope with her fashion and still does it to this day (ask ya girl Lady Gaga about her). She was one of the greatest to do it and I love her for it!!! Bow down to the master...love ya Grace Jones!!!
