wow she shaved off all that hair, she'd be gorgeous without just as much with anyway

i'm still slowly getting into her stuff as in waiting for te money to buy her albums

sammij said:

So she DID shave her locs off Damn, her locs were beautiful! I saw her in Trader Joe's a while back - head shaved & pregnant, wasn't sure it was her b/c of the hair. She could rock any style w/ that face, but I hate to see a head full of beautiful locs get chopped - if Cassandra Wilson ever cuts hers I'm gonna toss her albums

All the BoHo's end up doing that with their locs:

Badu
India.Arie
L-Boogie

And now Goapele. I think it's some sort of cleansing/renew ritual they feel they must go through. Also, it's a good thing to do because your scalp can get irritated being under all that hair for so many years and the scalp needs to breathe, so it could be that as well.

never parting with my locs

Actually you're "supposed" to cut them every 7 years, some kind of spiritual thing I think. I trim mine but I don't think I'll ever cut them OFF

Erykah looked funny with her dome though. Glad she grew her shit back.
