Tamar Braxton Keeps Rocking Bald Head and Some Fans Refuse to Embrace It: ‘Put the Wigs Back on’

Tamar Braxton has been rocking a bald head for months now and while she’s fully embraced the style, some fans have not.

The singer uploaded a photo sporting her now-signature look on Wednesday, Oct. 31 with the caption, “Which way is up?”

In the photo, Braxton tilts her head to the side and cradles it in her hand. She’s wearing a luxuriously long and golden gown with her eyes fixed on the camera.

Several fans adored the look.

“I love this photo @tamarbraxton This is so beautiful 😍”

“You in this Golden color is EVERYTHING, Tamar. Beautiful!”

“Looking like a butterscotch candy! I live! 😍💕”

“You’re such a beautiful woman I so admire you may God continue to bless you 😘😘😘”

But not everyone was singing Braxton’s praises. Several fans demanded she ditches the shaved look and goes back to rocking her old long, blond wigs.

“Happy Halloween !! You can put your wig back on now 🤪”

“Wigsssss😭”

“Put the wigs back on. We get it now. Your bald, bald 👀”

“Slapping that wiggy on & just a little make-up always does the job. It’s called enhancement, it’s nothing wrong with it ❗️”

However, several fans stepped up to defend her.

“I see so many people (haters) posting making fun of your hair cut but you’re just so beautiful Tamar!! Keep doing you huni🔥🔥😘😍😍.”

“I just love your hair! It goes perfect with your beautiful face 😍”

Braxton did away with wigs in March and hasn’t looked back since. She’s only occasionally worn a wig, typically for performances.

“Im over feeling captive to a wig, weave, people, people’s comments & opinions hell…even my OWN feelings!” she explained on Instagram at the time of her hair choice. “WE can choose to stop these things from having the power and victory over us!! And for me, that starts TODAY.”

She also made it clear the drastic hairstyle had nothing to do with her impending divorce from Vince Herbert.

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.
