It seems as though Tamar Braxton let more than just Vince Herbert go in her life. After filling for divorce from Vince, she has now decided to go bald.

Braxton posted a video sitting in a salon.  Fans watched as the hair stylist took clippers and shaved her head bald. With Bobby Brown’s  “My Prerogative”  playing in the background, the “Love and War” singer captioned the video “✂ finally free.”

The “My Man” singer has also uploaded a Snapchat image showing off the new cut while explaining the big decision.  “Im over feeling captive to a wig, weave, people, people’s comments & opinions hell…even my OWN feelings! WE can choose to stop these things from having the power and victory over us!! And for me, that starts TODAY 🤸🏾‍♀️ #happysttamarsday🍀

Some fans loved Tamar’s new look:

“you are beautiful with or without hair. Please do not feed into any of the negative haters s**t. They best way to handle haters is to pay their asses no mind. Much love to you!❤”

“You are sooo beautiful @tamarbraxton and empowering. Continue leaving and loving life as you are. You inspire me so much.! Thanks😘😍 and I love the look😍”

Even though Braxton claimed to have cut her hair because of over-reliance on wigs, some fans think otherwise:

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
