1. Jada Pinkett-Smith

During a performance of Whip my Hair, Willow Smith sat on stage and shaved her head. The timing was perfect because her bold move also influenced her mother. The artist, who is known to make bold statements in both music and fashion, is no stranger to cutting her hair on stage.
“This is gonna be my third time in my life shaving my head. I’m always shaving my head at monumental times in my life, when things are really changing. And this is definitely one of those moments,” she said in a clip posted to her Facebook page.
I know I’m not the only one to fall in love with Joseline’s chic, short strawberry blonde hair. They say a woman who cuts her hair is about to change the world and looks like the Do It singer is about to shake things up. Between her new look, a poppin’ new single, and a top TV show Joseline has developed a winning formula.
4. Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union revealed a big chop and her luscious curls in an Instagram post. She wrote, “So, I did a thing 🤗 The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new. #SummerChop#FlawlessChop#FlawlessCut“
We love it too, Gab!
5. Rihanna
Trendsetter and coin collector Rihanna Fenty dominated short haircuts during the height of her music career. Earlier this summer, she resurfaced to with some serious street style and throwback styles of her hair from 2013. The cute pixie cut is one of Rihanna’s many summer looks.
