Skin Hair<br />
Trend:<br />
A Fashion Statement<br />
or Revolution?<br />
By Sasha Bokamoso<br />
A<br />
lady’s hair is her crown<br />
– her pride, so we were<br />
told. But these days,<br />
ladies – especially<br />
African ladies are changing the<br />
narrative to say that ‘a lady’s<br />
head is more important than her<br />
hair’!<br />
Some thirty years ago, the<br />
idea of a lady brandishing a<br />
skin-cut or bald look will attract a<br />
lot of criticism and comments.<br />
In fact, in the African tradition,<br />
cutting a lady’s hair is the height<br />
of punishment and humiliation<br />
that can be melted on a<br />
woman.<br />
Interestingly, the case is<br />
totally different today, and more<br />
women are embracing the bald<br />
look. More women are shaving<br />
their hair daily, and it is not a<br />
sign of punishment or health<br />
concerns.<br />
But what really is behind this<br />
trend? Is it a fashion statement or<br />
a statement or revolution?<br />
For fashion, it is a yes! The<br />
skin-cut trend is a fun hairstyle<br />
that works for almost anyone.<br />
You can make it look serious<br />
and professional or fun and<br />
approachable with minimal<br />
effort.<br />
If the only thing that is holding<br />
you back from trying this hairstyle<br />
is the fear of not looking feminine<br />
