Celebrities We’d Like to See Without Their Weaves

 
It’s a rarity you see black female celebrities come into the Hollywood limelight with their own locks. Some people proudly do so and own it, showing off hair that’s as thick and kinky as it wants to be, and we love it! YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, the Janelle Monáe’s, the Leela James’ and the Esperanza Spaldings of the world. But others keep their natural locks on the low and go on to change the lace front game, re-invent wigs, and have some women flocking to the beauty supply store for similar look with bubbly and stripper-esque names like, “Candi.” They look just as fab.
But trying to catch a glimpse of a natural strand of their hair or some new growth is like ogling through an advanced version of  “Where’s Waldo?” for the bespectacled little man. You’re not going to find what you’re looking for. They keep their heads on lock. If they have a bad hair day you’ll never see it, and if that new growth is a-coming, you’ll never know it. And that’s all good and dandy. But it would be nice if we could see the following celebrities de-wigged and de-weaved for once. And not because we’re on some natural revolutionary initiative. The complete opposite. But just as it’s intriguing to see them without their makeup it’s just the same with hair–to see them in their everyday woman, natural form. That is, not always so done up. Why is it important you ask? Well, for no other reason than to ease our own curiosity…and yours! (Giggles)





I’m sure you’ll agree. As much as we love B, we’ve been a witness to the same colored lace front, the same length, the same style altogether since home-girl started singing “No, No, No” with her childhood friends from Houston. Only once have we seen her switch it up to cornrows, and that was years ago around Destiny’s Child’s The Writing’s on the Wall days. But nothing has changed since. I would love to see Queen B without her lace-fronts, trying out some versatile colors and cuts. I’m thinking a bob would be nice on her, even if it has a few extensions aiding it. Anything else would be dope on her at this point. Because to be honest, it’s just time for a change…
