The selfie showed Skyy sporting a black bralette and black lace shorts. The ensemble showed off her hourglass figure and blew fans away. Her new pixie cut was tapered on the sides and featured a bang that swept across the model’s face.

Skyy received over 130,000 likes and a slew of fan compliments.

“Please stay short 😍”

“She inspired me to cut my hair she looks drop dead gorgeous with short hair”

“I like this keep the short hair please #barbie”

“That short hair just do some to me 🤦🏽‍♂️”

“Lorddddd 😩😍😍 she went n cut her hair again n i think im in luv”

“A red bone with short hair 🤤🤤 so nice with it,you could be my shawty!!!.How do you see it? “

Skyy’s new hair post comes days after she was accused of damaging her 2-year-old daughter’s hair.

The 25-year-old mother posted a demonstration video of how she oiled and styled her child’s hair. During the styling process, Skyy parted baby Alaiya Grace’s hair into sections and used rubber bands to hold them together. She wrote, “Ladies I’ve been using @amazinghaircareco Hair Boom drops on my hair and my daughter’s hair 😍 These drops grow your hair fast!”

Fans instantly slammed Skyy for using rubber bands on her daughter’s coils.

“You damaging her hair with them rubberbands!!! You trying to make that baby bald 🤦🏽‍♀️don’t use them smh,” a fan wrote.

Another commented,”Girl lai lai don’t have enough hair for this rough rubber-bands just wet her hair make it curly to embrace her curl pattern and put a little baby headband to push it back and lay her edges”

A third user added, ““Please stop using rubber bands in her hair they’ll damage her hair girl you should know this by now 🙄”

Skyy never responded to naysayers.

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.
