Chrisette Michele goes bald...and it is beautiful

[chasturner84]

I'm totally feeling this look on her...sorry if it is a repost!

From ybf.blogspot.com:

"Chrisette Michele spoke about the real reasons she took it all off. Her hair that is. She found out that all the lacefront glueing and weaves and wigs don't make a singer or a black woman. And she put her money where her hair is."


Chrisette recently explained to VIBE:

"The turning point for me to shave my head was when I was out on tour. I had some pieces glued into my head because I didnt want to dye my own hair, and the glued on piece would not come out of my head so I said I'm shaving my head because this is ridiculous. This does not make me Black. This does not make me a great singer; this makes me have a piece of hair stuck to my head and I was like, "I'm done, I can't do this anymore."

"My stylist once put a lace-front on me for a show that I did. I wanted to try it out. They take adhesive and put it around the edges of your hair and then they lay stocking material on top of that adhesive and then the rest of the stocking has hair attached to it and then this stocking material blends into your face and then they take makeup and put it on top of that stocking material and blend that into your face. I'm not sure if that's healthy. I think you might get pimples and I don't like pimples. I knew girls who shaved around their hairlines so that their lace fronts would lay better. I don't know about that."

She has such a pretty face...and she's a great singer, to boot!

I thought she was bald before and started wearing weaves when she got signed with def jam.

She looks as cute as a button! The cut works for her. And I LOVE her explanation as to why she shaved...I wish more Black entertainers would consider health over the show biz look!

 

[BellaLunie]

she pulls it off nicely!

 

[wavezncurlz]

she is definitely someone who can pull of the bald look. She's stunning.

 

[PeanutButterandHoney]

I don't like it..

I saw an interview with her and the whole "I am being ME/natural ME" thing....yeah but you dyed it blonde....?
Okay.

 

[BobbieDoll]

It looks good on her.

 

[thehairmaverick]

I think its so cute on her I heard that this wasn't the first time she has had a low cut...I saw the pics somewhere...

 

[Whimsy]

I like it. She looks great! The color doesn't phase me.

 

[Valarie1]

I think it looks great on her.

 

[chasturner84]

I thought the cut really showcases her face...she's so pretty... no homo

 

[Firstborn2]

I think she look hott, color and all...

I LOVE IT!! This fade looks great on her.

Her explanation seems so simple and just downright honest. I say "seems", cause I am leary of entertainment interviews, but that is another topic for another thread.

At the end of the day, it's a good look on her...brown, blonde, black, red or otherwise...a dye job, IMHO does/should not take away from her HER.

she has a cute little face. The short cut makes her features pop out more, so ultimately she looks better with a shaved head. funny how that happens sometimes lol

 

[godsflowerrr]

Awwwwwwwww she looks soooooo cute!

 

[Diva_Esq]

She's gorgeous ALL DAY EVERYDAY! Her eyes are TO DIE FOR!

 

[MzPrince]

Here new hair cut and color is very complementary to her. Very nice.

 

[BostonMaria]

She call pull it off. She's very beautiful. I can't imagine just buzzing off my hair a'la Britney Spears, BUT I can see why she did it. I didn't know lacefronts were so complicated.

ETA: Curly Nikki did an interview with Chrisette Michele a few weeks ago. Here is the link for anyone interested: http://www.curlynikki.com/2010/04/chrisette-michele-natural-hair.html

I read that a few weeks ago too. She seems super cool and had actually been on her site.

 

[Toy]

[spelmanlocks]

She has a pretty face, but honestly I don't like the cut.

 

[My Friend]

I love the look on her.

 

[me-T]

[BlaqBella]

I don't like it..

Okay.

Hmmmmmm.. Although i love me some Chrisette. Her voice is lovely to me.

 

[mzsophisticated26]

she looks cute, I like the color

 

[sweetpeadee]

This is sooo pretty!!!! It makes me wonder....

I thought she was bald before and started wearing weaves when she got signed with def jam.

She wasn't. She had a decent sized blondish fro. I remember seeing pictures before. She could have been bald when she first got signed though. You have to chop the relaxed hair off at some point.

I think she looks cute with the baldie.

ETA: She says in the CN article that this is how her hair was before she got signed.

 

[chickle]

She is a cool person. I saw her in concert and she told the whole audience the story about how her mom said she was crazy and everything. She even used the words "bc" lol. She was wearing a scarf though, but I did see her without it later.

I'm glad she is embracing her hair in all of it naturalness. Someone above mentioned her dying her hair blonde and how it contradicted with the reason why she said that she cut her hair. Honestly, I feel like the blonde compliments her skin tone. And I'm pretty sure she will go through a host of other colors during her short-hair phase.
