Tamar Braxton Makes Final Decision on Her Bald Hairdo

Tamar Braxton is laying down the gauntlet when it comes to how she chooses to wear her hair.

Fans have been at odds over whether or not they all enjoy her bald look.

“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 ❗️”

“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 😍”

But Braxton recently made it clear that it’s not changing any time soon.

“Some of y’all are like… OK. We need ya hair back. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Well, listen… I’m just not ready… I wish I could explain it… I’ve grown it back just to cut it back off🤷🏽‍♀️,” Braxton wrote on her Instagram Story Wednesday, Dec. 5.

Braxton first lopped off her tresses back in March. She uploaded a video of the experience on IG and set it to the tune of Bobby Brown’s 1988 hit “My Prerogative.”

“✂ finally free,” the caption read.

After much speculation, Braxton had to clarify the snip had nothing to do with her divorcing music executive Vince Herbert.

“Im over feeling captive to a wig, weave, people, people’s comments & opinions hell…even my OWN feelings! WE can choose to stop these things from having the power and victory over us!! And for me, that starts TODAY 🤸🏾‍♀️ #happysttamarsday🍀,” she wrote on her IG page.

However, she has not completely abandoned hair altogether. She’s donned wigs for performances and special appearances. Recently, she rocked one during her turn as an angel in Snoop Dogg’s play “Redemption of a Dogg.”

But now, being used to having no hair has apparently made sporting a wig for fun something Braxton isn’t too fond of.

“you ever hug someone and the glue sticks to they face??😩😩😂😂I’m shaving my head again. This ain’t fa me🤷🏽‍♀️” she captioned a November IGTV clip.

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.
