9 Celebs Who Tried The Half-Shaved Hairstyle: Who Made it Fierce and Who Failed?

April 4th, 2012 - By IndigoBlack

I’ve been saying for about a year that the whole, “I’m-going-to-shave-one-side-of-my-hair” look was a mess. While Salt-n-Pepa made it cool back in the day, folks have taken this hairstyle to a whole new and crazy level. Seriously, it has lasted about two years longer than it should have, and everyday women came out the blue with the Two-Face look (your job was cool with that?). As much as I’ve openly loathed the look, I will say that there are a few celebrities who have been able to pull it off. But for the most part, some of the folks on this list know they need to stop. Let’s take a look at the dope ‘dos and debacles of the half-shaved hair fad.

Cassie

The singer/model might be one of the few people still rocking this look like there’s no tomorrow. She started with one shaved side and then came out of the house with both sides hairless. Pretty daring! She’s a stunning chick, so lucky for her, this look doesn’t come off as a fail, but more of a fashion statement. It’s what many people know her for (beside being Diddy’s…boo?), so it’s smart for her to embrace the look. But I would love to see her go really chic and cut that last bit of hair off in the middle of her head and just be bald. Now THAT would be fierce…

    the first time I saw the second fantasia pic (after doing a hair photo search online) I thought she was just getting up from her hair stylist’s shampoo bowl, with dripping wet hair and wearing a cutting cape. only upon reading your article did I realize in said photo she’s actually wearing regular clothes and that is her hair STYLED. I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to style choices (“to each her own”, “it takes all kinds” and all that crap.) but even I have to say…. yikes. go see your stylist if your hair skills are leaving you with… that.

    I think its Hott!!! Ive had mine shaved for about 2 years and loved putting all kinds of designs on my shaved side. Even some times going all the way “bald” on the side!!!

      me, too… I’ve had it for almost 2 years and I’m keeping it! I’ve always had short hair; long flowing hair always seemed just a little too precious… now I can have lovely long hair and still get a haircut once or twice a month- and the design options are endless!! (not to mention the glaringly hot badassedness of our look.) …how can we go wrong? ;)

    Cassie and rihanna look the best.

  • Chanda

    Fantasia looks like a damn hoodrat.
    I grew up in the 80s and remember when Pepa, Lisa Lisa and Cyndi Lauper rocked these hairstyles! The singer from Bow Wow Wow. Who else had this look back in the day?

  • Chanda

    Looks like Cassie is the winner with Rihanna and Kelis as runner ups. I think Kelis started the shaved sides in 2006.
    It’s a wonder Naomi Campbell didn’t go this route. She’s almost there if you know what I mean.
    If I was still in my early 20s and still relaxed I’m sure I would’ve tried this trend. It’s a no-no for us naturals and the super kinky.

      Actually SWV rocked that look WAY before Kelis
