‘This Is a Chop!’: Lori Harvey Debuts New Haircut, and Fans are Eating It Up

Lori Harvey left fans at a loss for words on Jan. 17 after she debuted a new haircut.

Harvey’s new look was featured on her stylist Ray Christopher’s official Instagram page and later reposted on her Stories. In the upload, the 25-year-old, who wore a black turtleneck with few jewelry pieces, was seen modeling the bob cut accompanied by the track “Luxurious” by Gwen Stefani.

In addition to the clip, Christopher expressed how much he enjoyed planning Harvey’s new look. He wrote while asking for his followers for their opinion on the cut, “Someone got a haircut yall feeling it???? I’m in love wit it! very much 90s supermodel @loriharvey thanks for letting me plan your hair kid.”

As fans viewed the stylist’s upload, many marveled over how “beautiful” the SKN by LH CEO looked despite the change. 

“Yesssss! This that good ole’ ‘popular girl in high school’ haircut.”

“Love! Brings back 90s natural beauty.”

“Looks so healthy, beautiful and bouncy… That hair flip was everything.”

“She looks great in any hairstyle.”

“You did your thing on this cut! It’s so bouncy and Lori is effortlessly beautiful!”

Among the compliments, others mentioned how voluminous Harvey’s hair appeared. One wrote, “Yes, the body on the cut!” Another said, “Oh yes this hair has bawdy!” A third Instagram user stated, “Beautiful, bouncy & healthy.”

The following day, Christopher disclosed during a Q&A session with his followers that Harvey’s hair was healthy prior to the bob cut. His response stemmed from a fan’s question about Harvey’s hair health. The individual wrote, “Lori’s hair was damaged that’s why you cut it?” The stylist replied, “Nope it was actually really healthy.”

This isn’t the first time Harvey has switched up her appearance. Back in December, she uploaded a post showcasing a bold red hairdo with the caption, “I haven’t decided on a name for her yet, but she was cute.”

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.
