Tamar Braxton’s Wig Steals Fans’ Attention for All the Wrong Reasons

Some Tamar Braxton fans have taken issue with her continuing to rock a bald head but when she sported a wig recently, many dragged that look, too.

Braxton posted a video to her Instagram page Monday, Nov. 5 and blew kisses to the camera. She notably had a wavy honey brown wig on as virtual hearts escaped from her mouth.

The fun clip had a few fans swooning.

“So beautiful.”

“Hey sis looking good.”

“Love to see you showing off that beautiful smile of yours & seeing you happy ❤️”

“Gorgeous honey ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘 @tamarbraxton.”

But others couldn’t help but slam her hair.

“Hair looks a mess.”

“I love you Tamar but I don’t like that wig. Your short haircut makes you look so beautiful naturally. I love it! 😍🤩.”

“That wig looks really bad u look amazing without it.”

“U need @terrellmullin back on the wigs sis cuz nooooooo way.”

And there were some commenters who claimed she should ease up on the work they think she’s gotten done to her face.

“You use to be pretty but now whatever you did to your face you look fake Sorry Not Sorry😀😀😀.”

“Omg. Stop with the surgeries already.”

“Tamar your face! Come on nah. You’re gonna pretend? New flash: We see it! There was nothing wrong to begin with. You were just fine before. Girl Hollywood be having y’all gone.”

It seems Braxton, who shaved her hair off in March and hasn’t looked back since, can’t catch a break lately. She also faced accusations of getting her face surgically enhanced when she played with another Instagram filter just days earlier on Nov. 1.

And fans can’t truly decide whether or not they love or hate her hair, either. Several praised an Oct. 31 shot of Braxton’s chrome dome while another set of followers begged her to put on a wig.

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.
