Solange Knowles Shaves Her Head: Love It or Hate It?

Splash News Online; Tony DiMaio/Abaca

First Cassie shaved off one side of her long locks. Carmen Electra soon tried out a look that mirrored the style, before trend-setter Rihanna gave the entire lower half of her short coif a buzz. And now Solange Knowles has taken Hollywood’s shaving trend to the extreme, shearing all her lanky hair off to a near buzz cut. And while for an event last night she kept the look under cover with a blunt-banged bob wig, today she took her new closely-cropped look out and about in L.A. Tell us: What do you think of Solange’s new bald do? Should she show it off — or do you think she should keep the look under wraps?

I hate this hair cut to be honest she does not have the hair texture to pull off this look. Bad idea thank God she has a wig to wear.

Eww! Hate it. That look does not work for her. Girl, go get some weave!

Solange Is Bald | HyipLife.com on July 23rd, 2009

[...] Beyoncé’s little sister Solange Knowles has shaved her head, as if making some sort of desperate cry for attention. Maybe her hair was always like this and she just wore wigs in the past, but going out sans weave was surely premeditated, and a significant fashion statement. It confirms the head-shaving trend — started by Alice Dellal, perpetuated by Amber Rose — has legs that won’t quit. In the past few weeks we’ve seen Cassie shave half her head and Rihanna shave off the bottom part of her hair. Hair has gone the way of pants as the latest bullet point on Fashion’s Endangered Species List. In times like these we must stick together. And be brave. [StyleWatch/People] [...]

I jus came to the conclusion that she did this to get attention… shes under the shadow of her sister and nobody buys her music so she cut her hair cuz she know she gon get attention…. shes basicallly sayin “LOOKK AT ME”! Only certain women can rock this style and she looks a mess!!!!

Not like she had real hair in the beginning! I bet she’s always been bald, but wore a weave!!

Aaaah hmmm. I’m stuck. Not sure what to say on this one.

Love when an African-American women ditches the status quo and goes natural with her hair. It may not be her best look ever, nor her worst, but it does illustrate the beauty of natural hair.
