‘This Transformation’: Tami Roman’s Pixie Cut Leaves Fans Obsessing

It’s no secret that Tami Roman can rock any hairstyle, and she proved that recently when she posted an image on Instagram that showed her sporting a black pixie cut.

On Monday, April 27, the former “Basketball Wives” reality star went from wearing long brown wigs to a pixie ’do. Fans were here for her drastic hair transformation, with some even claiming that this is her best hairstyle yet.

The 50-year-old television personality wore a blue oversized sweatshirt dress with the phrase Spiritual Gangster embellished across her chest. Roman, a mother of two, carried a mini handbag and struck her pose by standing in what appeared to be a room full of lights with her eyes closed.

Roman hinted in her caption that she was reflecting on the good things that have taken place in her life. “We have a tendency to harp on what’s wrong… let’s start celebrating what’s right 🙏🏽,” she wrote.

The actress from “When Love Kills: The Falicia Blakely Story” positively shocked fans with her hair transformation, causing them to shower her with love about her new look.

“This is my favorite hairstyle of yours.”

“You look happy. I love this transformation!!!”

“Looking straight out the 90s , you look about 25.”

“Girl this hair is absolutely everything💕💕💕 love it over the blonde.”

A fifth said, “Love the short cut.”

“Your hair is 🔥🔥.”

“Love the hair!!! You’re so beautiful 😍,” gushed a seventh.

“This look is 🔥🔥🔥.”

Roman, a season 2 cast member on “The Real World,” has a lot to be grateful for this year. She announced on Instagram nearly two weeks ago that she will be starring in an upcoming film with Regina Hall. The movie, titled “Tijuana Jackson: Purpose Over Prison,” is set for an OnDemand release on July 10. Roman is also making serious moves behind the camera this year.

In 2019, Roman partnered up with television producer Mona Scott-Young to produce scripted and unscripted content. Together the pair will serve as executive producers on Tommie Lee‘s new reality show that reportedly will premiere on the Zeus Network later this year.

Still independent.

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.
