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:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
