Melody Mitchell completely blindsided fans after she showcased her shaved head on this week’s latest episode of “Black Ink Crew.”
Since appearing on the VH1 reality series two seasons ago, Mitchell has sported long dreadlocks with a shaved side the entire time. However, her recent split from her long-time partner Lalo Yunda pushed her to “unknowingly” do a big chop.
Two episodes ago, Mitchell revealed she and Yunda were having relationship problems and had been arguing over the most minute things. On top of that, the couple got into a huge argument and Yunda accused her of being a completely different person than he fell in love with. He later called it quits with Mitchell, and she had a complete meltdown.

“Honestly, I don’t remember cutting my hair off,” Mitchell told her colleagues while showcasing her newly shaved head. “All I know is I broke and was taking scissors to my head and I look in the mirror and have no f**king hair.”
She added in her confessional, “After Lalo broke up with me I blacked out and I really don’t even remember shaving my hair off. … I had a few of Lalo’s dreads sewn into mine and I didn’t wanna feel any part of him anymore.”
Mitchell later told the shop that she was leaving New York and headed to Florida to stay with her mother to clear her mind.
“Black Ink” viewers wished Mitchell well and said she looked absolutely beautiful with her new haircut.
“Godspeed to you Mel, new beginnings to for you 😥 .”
