I Whip My… Oh, Wait: Willow Smith Shaves Her Head

February 2nd, 2012 - By Veronica Wells

Well… she said no matter if it’s long or short. In a recent move, Willow Smith decided to shave most of her hair off. Jada has said that she’s fine with Willow experimenting with her hair because at the end of the day, it’s really not a big deal.

I have to admit, I think it’s kind of cute. The child has a cute face so she really can’t go wrong. And honestly, as much money as she and her parents have, I’m sure she can afford some good fake hair to cover it up, if she ever regrets her decision.

Check out some more pictures below.

What do you think of Willow’s new hair cut? Would you be “cool enough” to let your daughter shave her head at such a young age?

    It is most likely reasons why her head is shaved.  Maybe it was just time to start it over.  It’s no telling of all the glue, hair peices, color and braids that messed up her hair.  I’m sure it will grow back natually and beautiful; after all God made our hair beautiful.

    Honestly i don’t think that hair is such a big deal but I do think that they do allow her to act a little too grown for my taste. I think that may have been what Hottness was trying to say.

    Well, in Africa, it has been traditional practice for girls her age to wear their hair short. A lot of us women shave our heads when we go natural. Usually, people try to transition little girls out of perms/relaxers using braids, instead of shaving their heads off. Young kids can be brutal when other children don’t align with the social norms they’ve been taught.

    In the end, I don’t see anything wrong with a girl her age having short hair. I just shaved mine a few weeks ago to start my ‘natural’ growth over again. And I wore my hair shaven as a little girl for traditional reasons.

    To me it’s no big deal.. I dont find it that nice looking.  But way my hair has been looking lately, I might be better off doing the same.

    It’s just a BC….big deal, it’ll grow back healthier and stronger.

    She could be going natural? 

  • blisskris

    I love her strength and bold sense of self.  You go girl!

  • GUEST

    I think she’s just going natural.That’s not a bad move.

    I would definitely let my daughter shave her hair. Hair grows back and there are worse hairstyles. Best for her to be creative with her hair then other things.

    Besides, it looks cute.

  • ImanIndigo

    WAY too young for that.

  • OneFlyNatural

    I think it’s cute!

  • Grace

    Who cares about this talentless little twit?!

    I can’t believe the ignorance that is being expressed about this child cutting her hair. The fact that one posted said “her child’s hair belongs to her until she’s 18,” is sickening. Someone else hair doesn’t belong to another person. I applaud willow for being so brave. If she had a damaging relaxer in her hair people wouldn’t whisper a sound. But because she decides to cut all her hair  she, “looks like a little boy and has no standards or rules.”

    P.S.  I especially love the pic. in the ballerina shoes sitting in the chair.  So delicate and precious.  She is going to be a force to reckon with when she grows up.  I wouldn’t know what to do if I had a daughter and she was that pretty.  I would love to see her be just as creative with her beauty.

    She looks cute. She’s a girl and just prolly wants to experiment wit diff hairstyles. ITS JUS HAIR IT WILL GROW BACK

  • RedButterfly81

    It’s just hair people, it’ll grow back so relax! But personally, I wouldn’t want my daughter to shave her head unless it’s a life threatening situation like brain surgery.

    SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!  Looks so much like her mother.  Her mother rocked that hairstyle in the day. BEAUTIFUL.

       remember the end of “set it off!”

        Oh Yeah! Exactly!

    its cute, but the duckface is hella played out…IJS

  • nurdgoddess

    It’s only hair. Hair grows back. It’s not what’s ON the head that matters, it’s what’s IN the head.

  • Mizzdanielleg

    I definitely encourage it. Why is ok for adults to experiement with their natural hair and she can’t?! I always hear child stars in the media for ridiculous things….But this young lady has only shaved her head. Will and Jada must be doing something right because ALL their kids are superstars at such young ages.
