Alicia Keys' Hair: Singer Plans to Shave Head

NEW YORK (AP) - Alicia Keys recently chopped off most of her hair, and the singer is looking to go even shorter.

The R&B superstar debuted her bob hairdo this summer. In a recent interview, Keys said she wants to go "even shorter."

When asked if she would shave her head, the 31-year-old replied: "I'm thinking about something like that. I'm telling you. I'm going there. I'm doing it."

The Grammy-winning Keys arrived on the music scene in 2001 with braids, and she has mostly worn her hair long. She says with her new cut, she's able to do more with her hair.

If she shaves her head, she'll follow a list of celebrities including Natalie Portman, India.Arie, Chrisette Michelle and Kellie Pickler.

Oh, I do not mean to take up so much time, but I just remembered. One time,when I was a little girl, I cut off my hair and although it was a joke, my mother sent me to a beautician to even it up.
Also, once when I was teaching, I wanted to have very short hair and cut it, again myself. I did cut it and my students liked it, but I thought it needed to be shorter, the next day, one of my young male students(14) said, "Gosh, are you trying to be baldheaded". I have never worn it that short again;although I liked the freedom of not having to blow it out forever. It is a freedom, from spending much time and money,but Alicia, is a new mother and I can understand her, attitude. I have cut my own hair,but the best lesson, is to let the professiona," cut and style".

Alicia,is a beautiful woman and has a true natural beauty. I suppose with long hair or shaved hair, it will not have an effect on her voice.
I feel any one , who wants to be an individual in style, fashion, hair, etc, should do so, as long as that does not infringe on the rights of others.
Jada and her daughter, and others have started this trend, to give credence to their own personalities.
I just hope this is not a statement, because others are shaving their heads and Alicia,'feels she needs to be on that wave.
I love her "now" hairstyle, as well as Mrs. Obama's but these are not new to the fashion world. Women in Africa, shave their heads, for sanity and beauty, because they do not have the need to prove their beauty.
So many are trying to grow their hair or buy hair.
I wear my hair long, because I like it.I have worn it short and liked that style.
I have never shaved my hair and I doubt if I ever will.I pray, I never Have to shave it.
One thing, hair will grow back.
One time, women shaved their hair, for illness, or because they may have had lice or an infection or had surgery.
When I think of the women in the Holocaust and other prison/mental institutions, I have felt so sad, that all that beautiful hair had to be shaved.
i suppose, I am a believer in "Your hair is your crowning glory;however, the beauty is really inside.
Perhaps, Alicia has been looking at Natural Sistas.
It is easier to take care of, especially when time is limited,but it is still a personal choice, and her's not ours.

Hey MS Keys, before you shave your hair why don't you get a sketch drawing of it first, and if don't like it you can alwyas grow it back.

It must be tough to be so successful you don't know what to do with yourself so you start mutilating your body with tattoos and shaving your head.
