It used to be that the ultimate hairstyle statement for a woman was to shave your head bald (or close), but these days celebs have put their own twist on the avant-garde style. If your not sure that you, or your head shape, can pull off a completely shaved look, ease yourself into the style by going partially bald first. Cue Cassie Ventura, Lala Vasquez, Keyshia Cole, Raven Symone and the pioneer Kelis. They've all put their unique interpretation of the style by adding hair dye, patterns, track lines and even ultra girly curls on the side of the head still with hair.

If you're going to try this style be prepared. Stock up on bobby pins to stop your long sided hair from falling across the border. Also, invest in a good pomade to keep your shaved side neat and frizz free. As always, keep your hair healthy with a good conditioner like Carol's Daughter's Tui Leave-in and Creme of Nature's moisturizing shampoo. So come on ladies, do Grace Jones proud and get the clippers out!

  1. I know what they are trying to do ... but that would take forever to grow back (naturally). I don't know if I am feeling this trend.

    It depends on your style if whether one can pull it off. It has to become the person!

  4. Eek. I don't think so. I've spent literally years getting my hair to the length it is now. I'd typically do anything for the sake of fashion, but not this.

    I shaved my head on one side while it was relaxed,and hen slowly let it go natural. I live in portland and now the hairstyle is really popular in hipster culture...then I was like this is played and every body has it,so I shaved all my hair and got some sexy designs down the side.

    Actually that girl from New Young Pony Club was rocking this since 2006. Kelis has said she is a fan so it is probably safe to say she took that style for herself but didn't pioneer it.
