Solange

Most people know already that Solange chopped all of her hair off. I'm in agreement with the majority that the long hair was much more becoming on her, but it's one thing to disagree and something entirely different to hate.

She has some strong words against people who are simply being a bit extra about a situation and body that isn't their own.

"Listen, if I wanted to make a statement I would have twitpic’d a photo shoot, ect. I was simply taking my son to school. Stupid paps took my pic. I’ve had my hair cut like this for two weeks. I was NOT inspired by anyone but myself. I have done this twice in my life. I was 16. I was 18. Did not care about your opinion then. Don’t care now. Don’t need your attention or your co-sign. Don’t want an edge up or a perm, because I’m not trying to make this “a style” or a statement. I just wanted to be free from the bondage that black women sometimes put on themselves with hair. This phase of my life I want to spend the time, the energy and the money on something else and not in the hair salon. I’m not mad at all of you that have made your opinions known and have sent negative energy my way. I expected this of you, and you have the right to have an opinion. So do I."

I've always appreciated her ability to say whatever is on her mind.

She's a true individual. Something a lot of people need to work harder towards becoming.

More power to you, babe.
