'Tia & Tamera' Star Tia Mowry Shed Tears Over Short Pixie Cut

While ‘Tia & Tamera’ star Tamera Mowry prepares for the birth of her first child her twin sister Tia Mowry, who’s already mother of one, was crying over chopping off her hair.

The 34-year old actress stole the show on the red carpet at Variety’s 4th Annual Power of Women event last week. Mowry-Hardrict wore a gorgeous purple cocktail dress with a lace overlay and of course her gorgeous pixie cut. At the event Tia revealed she shed some serious tears over the chop but hasn’t regretted a moment of it.

“I cried! I’m just going to be honest with you, I definitely cried. A lot of people ask me, ‘What advice would you give to women who want to chop it off?’ I said, ‘Don;t think about it because if you do you won’t do it.’ But it’s very liberating and it definitely saves time.”

Tia admits of the many benefits of her new ‘do, having more time with her son Cree Taylor tops the list.

“I am so happy that I decided to cut my hair. It literally takes me three minutes to do my hair,” she said. “I get out of the shower, put some conditioner in it, and it’s just ‘let’s go’ and I love that! I think it’s very very important to find products that allow us to be able to have more time to do things like that. I like to spend most of my time with my child [to] savor these moments because they’re not a little tiny baby forever.”

Meanwhile Tamera Mowry-Housley who faced a Twitter attack from followers on her opinions over the vice-presidential debate is expecting her first child, a son, with husband Adam Housley later this month.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
