‘Is That Girl Melanie?’: Tia Mowry-Hardrict’s Long Luscious Locks Leave Fans Gushing

Tia Mowry-Hardrict just drastically switched up her hair, changing out her short natural lengths for long wavy hair extensions for the summer. The 42-year-old actress debuted her new look in a Tuesday, Aug. 11 Instagram photo.

Tia looked fabulous in a selfie that showed her wearing a vibrant pink blazer over a white tank top. The mother of two rocked different shades of gold eyeshadow with winged eyeliner and false eyelashes. She tied her appearance together with gold hoop earrings and a silver necklace. Tia posed for the photo by smizing at the camera and slightly pursing her lips. “Who’s that girl? La la la la la la la! Had to switch it up for a minute.❤️💕,” she wrote in her caption.

Some people went berserk over her fresh hairstyle and wrote comments such as “Yessss long hairrrrr 😍😍😍” and “Ooh fire on the switch up!😍😍.” But another fan compared Tia’s appearance to her character Melanie Barnett from “The Game,” asking “Is that Girl Melanie?👀.”

The fan’s comment came nearly two weeks after Netflix announced that it will begin streaming a series of classic African-American sitcoms from the ’90s and 2000s, including “Moesha,” “The Game,” “Sister Sister,” “Girlfriends,” “The Parkers,” “Half & Half,” and “One on One.”

Considering Tia underwent the big chop in February, her new look may have come as a surprise. She explained in an interview with Harper’s BAZZAR magazine that she damaged her signature “Sister Sister” curls after she continued to straighten her hair. She then went on to reveal that she felt better after cutting her tresses. “A lot of people say you hold energy in your hair, you hold energy in your body. And I’m telling you, since doing it, I feel just lifted and feel lighter,” she said.

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.
