Who said brothas are the only ones who can rock bald and low-cut haircuts? Move over Michael Jordan! More and more women are doing it these days because of the freedom such a style brings, not to mention how fierce a bare head can look on the right lady. Thinking about trying the biggest chop of all but can’t seem to work up the nerve? Get some inspiration from the following ladies, known for their big hair changes, who gave their scalps a rest and realized that less is definitely more!

India Arie

India Arie definitely is a lady who doesn’t like to be defined by her mane, but we couldn’t help but dig her bare head when she went for the look. While I’m not feeling the artificial curl somebody drew on her head (I’m sure it was a cute joke), I dig the confidence and the bad a**ness it takes to rock such a look.

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…

Someone once said that less is more – wonder if that person ever considered applying that mantra to hair. For many women, shaving their hair is a scary process. Hair is a built-in camouflage for whatever oddity may be on your face. To shave off your hair, you have a have a certain sense of confidence, grace and overall fierceness.
