Rihanna is rocking a new look — short curls — and many are speculating that it might be the singer’s natural texture, or a loosened version of it. She debuted the look on Instagram with this photo and caption:
Still tryna get used to my hurr, so I threw on some #redlipstick #RIRIWoo
We love the look! But Riri is known to switch up her hair every few months, so we have to enjoy seeing it on her while we can. What do you think ladies?
%20Natural%20Curls!){kind=link}
LOL. “Possibly” the site admins have learned how to avoid all the wig/ weave comments.… Regardless Rihanna can do no wrong. Love her!
Lol! You know it!
suits her very well like all short hairstyles she wore in the past.
I dont care that much whether it’s her real hair or not. I like it anyways.
She should ALWAYS wear it short! It’s her best look!
She looks good and it may be the hair that grows from her scalp but It looks at least texturized. Love her anyway 🙂 I think her natural hair looks more like that:

sorry for the text on the picture :-p
Gosh, i looked closely to that picture and it actually seems to be a braid on a wig, sorruuuuu. I was so happy to think she’s a 4something hair!!!
Yea, that’s a braid on a weave.
LET ME KNOW WHEN TO CARE
You cared enough to click on the link.
I’m starting to believe Tina Smith is a troll, LOL!
Natural? Side on that one. It’s kinda cute, yet something is off…?
the greasy look and the bump in the back while the ’90s are not THAT in
I really don’t see why people are so obsessed with her..she’s not that attractive
she is
LMAO. Put up your photo and let’s compare. She may not be a great singer, she may be classless as hell but one thing is for sure, that is a gorgeous woman.
I do agree she is attractive but I often wonder if its because of the color of her eyes ..in my opinion I think the color of her eyes greatly adds to her appearance but everyone is entitled to their opinion she maybe gorgeous to most & not attractive to others
It is what it is
I agree with you, but I think it’s the shape of her eyes coupled with the color. On the other hand, although I do think she is pretty, when she adds the red lipstick it softens her face and gives her face a softer sweeter look. Her face is kinda hard looking without the red lips or any kind of lip color in my opinion. She doesn’t need much makeup but she needs a pop of color on those lips to look good.
Again, my opinion.
what does another person’s appearance have to do with whether or not rihanna is pretty?
if someone doesn’t think she’s pretty that’s their opinion, and trying to disrespect or insult them isn’t going to change their mind.
Looks like her hair isn’t the only thing she’s letting go all natural… I use to love Rhianna but then I slowly started to realize that she seriously has no class. It kind of turned me off from her. She’s cute and all, but lacking class of any kind. I want another Beyonce to emerge, now THAT is class.
Please, one sells trashy and the other one is trashy for real.
[img]https://bglh-marketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/oops.jpg[/img]
Both add to the trashy quotient. Anyway, Rihanna’s hair has cute potential if it wasn’t full of gel.
What the hell is this? Where did this photo come from? I have never seen this one. LOL. OMG. Hahahahah!
I’d like another janelle monae to emerge because whether you like her music or not you can’t Deny she is classy. the kind of class that all the beyonces and the rihannas lack
The 2nd pic with the red lipstick, she looks just like Josleen on Love & Hip Hop ATL. I thought they grabbed the wrong pic at first …LOL!
I usually like short hairstyles on her but this one is just so-so. It has potential but the “wet-look” is reminiscent of soul-glo.With a better shape and a little more effort on the styling department, this could look great!!!
On a side note, her body looks amaaazing!!
That hairstyle makes her look like Joseline
I like short hair on Rihanna. I just think she should have been a little light on the grease/gel…just my opinion. I’m sure this article is about her hair not her behavior or attitude so I will just focus on her hair. The article does not talk about how she acts. It only mentions her hair.
Not to be rude but doesn’t she have a perm that is not her natural curls
I really like it! Now, if we can only get her to wear underwear…
Nudity is not a sin. The wrongful sexualization of nudity is the problem. Believe it or not going commando as in not wearing a bra is not a crime. It became an issue when body conscious individuals (religious and non religious) saw it as a shameful sight. Not wearing a bra is also seen in different cultures. (i.e. Hawaiian island women used to perform braless until missionaries visited and saw this as a sinful act). Women’s breasts are not a shameful sight. There is nothing wrong with being braless. It is natural.
In response to A.R., what I said, I said in jest, but was apparently viewed as some sort of political platform. With that said, as a high school educator, I see young ladies emulate stars such as Rihanna. Where as RiRi looks to be an A cup, try getting a group of 16 year old boys to concentrate on Shakespeare, when you are competing with a braless D cup 16 year old girl. Natural or not, cover up the girls.
I wholeheartedly agree A.R… the human body is not over-sexual. it is indeed natural. @Terri those boys who cannot concentrate, that’s their problem that they need to deal with. Breast size does not matter.
I teach high school and community college classes in North Carolina. Where do you ladies teach, and what is your secret to maintaining the attention of those teenaged boys?
Breast size doesn’t matter? I have an aunt who never wears a bra. Her breasts hang to her stomach. Just because she is my aunt I’m not going to say I’m okay with that, especially when she wants to give me a hug. Smaller sizes can get away with it. I’m a D and still will not go braless. I do believe the human body is beautiful, and it’s just as beautiful with a bra lifting up those puppies, accentuating those lovely curves!
Sounds like you should speak to the parents of the 16 year old braless woman with the double Ds.
I’m a grown woman and rarely wear a bra; if I’m working I usually wear a camisole…time and place for everything I suppose.
But since there is a crime and a law for “indecent exposure” you gonna have to cover it up. No excuses. Follow the law! Only exception is if you are in a nudist community. Have respect not only for the law, have some respect for others. I don’t wanna see her breast! EWWW
American people are so ridiculous when it comes to breasts, same way people freak out when a woman is breast feeding. Come to Europe (France, Italy, Spain, etc.)… It’s really NOT that big of a deal and it is SHAMEFUL that women are the ones who refuse to take control of their bodies and be proud of them. GET OVER IT!! naked bodies woooooo BIG DEAL
going commando is not wearing underwear, not a bra
The very definition of the word “Underwear” is any clothing that is worn under other “regular” clothing, so going commando would mean different things for different sexes. Women no bra or panties, men, no boxers or briefs, also no muscle shirts either.
Does anyone else get the vibes that Rihanna doesn’t like her new hairdo or is it just me?
It appears that way. It’s a cute cut though.
I don’t give a rat’s butt if she is a good artist. I don’t care how much people are defending her because I still believe that most fans are in denial. Wearing a tank top with no bra is a very slutty to me. What a freaking disgrace. Of course I don’t know her like that but the way she is portraying herself is slutty and b!#chy. Pardon my french
Do you know what slut shaming is?
Damn, do I hate my generation SMH, shaming is bad, judgements are evil, if it feels good do it…it’s no wonder the community is a mess and a half.
I am SO THRILLED my parents were old school so that I can pass on some common sense values that worked for every generation prior to my kids. It’s funny how a few liberal courses in community college can make so many throw common sense out of the window.
Are you a female? A woman’s studies class would really benefit your contributions to life.
you sound so butt hurt about someone who doesn’t even know you exist.
Rubbish!
Get over it!
insulting her and calling her names doesnt make you classy. and i cant stand bras also. if i would have born earlier, i would also have burned bras like the hippie-girls who did so 🙂
What’s to argue about!!! Beyonce and Rihanna are both trashy thirsty ass chicks. The only slight difference is, is that Beyonce still tries to appear classy while selling the skankyness, and her thirst is subtle, all covered up by her talent. Rihanna on the other hand has no talent just catchy tunes. She’s plain out classless and skanky. No way of going around this. End of discussion. Oh and that crisco greased down shit on her head ain’t doing her any favors. NEXT!!!!!!
I respect that what you see is what you get with Rihanna, she’s authentic…Bey on the other hand, doesn’t have the appeal that Rihanna does (IMO) because she lacks authenticity!
I’m not a fan of either one 🙂 but if they ever had a fashion face off, Rihanna would come out on top every time!
Looks like a wig to me.
I don’t think Rihanna has much talent and her behavior is pretty disgraceful, but she is beautiful and can pull off a lot of different looks. Her response to this cut, however, lends to what I thought all along: she isn’t choosing all of her “bold fashion moves”… she’s wearing and doing what she’s told, for the sake of staying in the limelight. Pretty girl, but I won’t idolize her for anything.
I get what you’re saying, but I’d point out that lots of women (women with natural hair and others) cut their hair *by choice* and then struggled for a while to learn to like it and be happy with it. It’s happened to me and I have plenty of friends who’ve been through the same. I mean, I’m sure that she’s subject to some sort of external image control, but her response to this cut isn’t *that* unusual.
She’s lovely with short hair but not hating or whatever people like to say but THAT’S NOT her natural or possibly hair, she’s been called out for having kinks (nothing wrong with that) with her red straight long weave and suddenly her hair is not kinky anymore.
it looks very much like a wig, her hairstylist creates some of the most amazing realistic wigs (remember that short pixie cut).
I command her for rocking different kind of hairstyles and not the usual long straight weave/wig some celebrities feel like it’s the only way to look beautiful.
Lol @ “possibly”! Much better! 🙂
I’m not feeling how the hair is styled, looks uneven and very greasy. Rhianna’s still on that ‘just smoother with Blue Magic’ tease. She’s new to this ish, someone direct her to BGLH! Lol
she looks gr8:)
It looks really greasy… I’m not a fan
I think it’s just hair gel…maybe too much, but it look fine to me.
I feel like its reminiscent of Michael Jackson in his “Bad” days.…
I know her cousin and that’s the kind of hair type she naturally has. She may have put in products for hold and shine but that’s it.
I like it better this way but Hollywood has a different perception of beauty of course.
She looks great-but tell me why she looks like Joslene from Love & Hip Hop ATL Season One?
That’s exactly what I was thinking, all she needs is Stevie J(or Stebbie)with his rat face on in the background.
I said the same thing. But I always said Joseline is Rihanna on steroids.
Her hair doesn’t look natural to me!
I see there’s a lot of Rihanna haters here liking anything negative and disliking everything that’s positive. If the topic was Beyonce they would get on their knees in prayer. SMH. Anyhow, I love her hair and I think she’s a beautiful woman.
Lol, Cherry! Yes, I am a huge Beyonce fan and no, I’m not big on Rhianna… But I’ll tell you in a second that Bey looks ridiculous in many, if not most of her weaves and wigs too
Are we suppose to believe that’s her real natural hair just because it’s short? or because she light skin with light eyes, so she must have that hair texture? I believe that’s a wig!!! hair with all that gel, grease whatever and yet still I can’t even see scalp? Yeah, okay!!
Why do you sound hurt that she might have a certain hair texture? her father is clearly genetically mixed with a large amount of caucasian, and her mother is guyanese, very likely mixed with indian. Rihanna is a very mixed person, as many people are in the caribbean. I know a girl who is half sierra leonian and half colombian, with black genes on the colombian side also, with far straighter, looser hair than rihanna in these pictures ^. Then I am mixed with african on one side only and native amazonian and indian on the other, yet my hair… Read more »
Girl please shut up!!! Where are you getting the feeling of “hurt” from my comment. So because she has a mixed lineage you automatically assume that must be her hair and natural texture? If that is her natural hair well… but i still think that’s a wig. Even her half shaven head didn’t even seem to be this texture.
I can tell you that I thought my hair was of a coarser, nappier texture based on the way my hair has always looked and felt when I was younger before relaxing my hair and every time I had new growth. It wasn’t until I decided to go natural that it wasn’t the case. The same could very well be for Rihanna.
Should have said, “It wasn’t until I decided to go natural that I saw it wasn’t the case.”
why do you care?
Why you hating based on her skin tone?,she’s still black!!correct yourself!!
You might be asking too much of the poster!
Man, when I read these comments, it really saddens me. Even if this woman is a celebrity, she is a black woman first. Why is it ever ok to tear another woman down, why because you think her “class level” makes her unworthy? Things like this don’t matter, and God did not fall off and make you judge! I believe she is a beautiful young woman, with beautiful hair. However she wants to wear it is her preference. No one around her probably knows what to do with anything but a weave, I’m proud that she even embraced it for… Read more »
It sucks that Black women always find something to hate on another Black woman for. Unfortunately, the ones that are always hating on the next usually suffers from low self esteem or they even are envious.
Not all of us have low self esteem, so no “black women in general don’t always find something to hate on another black woman”. Contrary to popular belief, this isn’t a black thang!
Just because a woman expresses that something isn’t her taste or style, doesn’t mean she’s hating.
Na this was her hair when she was a kid. http://photos.posh24.com/p/1714591/z/fun_pics/rihanna_before_famous_young_ki.jpg
Her hair is definitely kinkier. That hair on her head now is chemically treated.
Her hair clearly has some kind of chemical treatment in it. No one needs to be hating to state something that’s obvious. When you look at her as a young girl, her hair is way kinkier. Her hair is not 4C or even 4B it looks more like a 4A with 3’s somewhere there as well. If that was all natural it would have some kink unless she Gelled it down like CRAZY-which I don’t think is the case. Anyway, BGLH did ask “what do you think ladies?” Well, that is what I think. No haters please. And by the way,… Read more »
Natural meaning her own hair; NOT WEAVE. When women wear their own hair out, it is considered as wearing their own natural hair by many; whether it’s relaxed, permed, straightened or color treated.
Only the Natural Hair community expect the term ‘wearing your own hair’ to mean: (1–4c hair type) No color, No relaxer, No perm or straightening. *TO EACH ITS OWN* No one has to wear their hair the way the natural community wants them to or the European way. THERE IS SO MUCH IGNORANCE on both sides.
you are on a NATURAL HAIR site which means on this site natural hair is considered to be the hair that grows out your scalp UNALTERED. if you don’t like that definition why are you posting on a natural hair site? if relaxed or permed hair was considered natural BGLH wouldn’t have any reason to exist. check yourself before talking about the others’ ignorance. ps: if you are wearing your hair straight (which is absolutely your right don’t get me wrong) maybe you’re not wearing it “the european way” but straight hair is not found naturally in the black community (or… Read more »
Man she’s so lucky that she doesn’t have to wear a bra hahahahahaha!!!
Ahahahahahahahahah
I thank god for my bee stings everyday!
Yea I agree with Nicole it looks chemically treated
When they say Natural they’re refering to her own hair; meaning she’s NOT WEARING WEAVE. When women wear their own hair out, it is considered as wearing their own natural hair by many; whether it’s relaxed, permed, straightened or color treated.

nope .. that’s clearly a sew in or something.
I’ve always wondered what her hair looks like.
Its interesting looking
I wonder if her hairstylist told her to give her hair a breather!!
Yeah Ri-Ri!!!! It’s hers whether you can see the scalp or not … I dun talk.
I think Rihanna would inspire a lot of people if she went natural. I would love to see her embrace her natural beauty.
I feel like rihanna is bald she just does a lot with her hair, sometimes half is shaved off … I think it’s a weave.
but i can tell she loves her mohawk best.

My barber called it the fade-out hair cut, the ‘usher’ look. http://shorthaircutsx.org/top-3-cute-short-haircuts-for-black-women-2013/ in Rihanna’s pics, I love the pic where the hair on top of the head is pronounced ‑it’s awesome.and i like the lengths of the hair at the… Read more »

the extra designs on the side next to my side parting were my barber’s doing. lols.…..i just trusted him and let him do it and it turned out to be good. they’ve grown in now.
Now THAT is how a girl should do a big chop!
Beautiful
she needs to stop PRETENDING to be natural.. dont need THAT on the bandwagon
that is ugly hair for her face and it does not look good. she can stick to her weaves. i dont care
Wow da truth (yeah right) when did she ever say she was or was trying to be natural. Even if she was it’s just not that serious. And if you are implying that being natural is part of a bandwagon, for most naturals it’s simply a choice to learn how to take care of their own hair. Also since it’s so “ugly for her face” can we see your hair and fashion degrees to back up your statement? And last but not least, if you “didn’t care” you wouldn’t have wrote anything you just did. You’re allowed to have an… Read more »
Wow some of you all go too far in the comment sections. That looks like her real hair. Natural or not she looks good. Looks like she is trying to take a break from all the weaves n hair dye hence the “still trying to get use to my hair” quote on instagram. I think that once you get into that groove of always having your hair highly styled you feel strange without it being so. That’s all it looks like to me. Her stylist or she herself may have told her to give her hair a break for a… Read more »
I like it ..if it is a texturizer i wud love to know the name ..lol
live in denial, apparently you’re a slave to a celebrity. and your loss if you can’t understand what i meant by saying she’s joining the ‘bandwagon’. she’s the latest to join the list of those who are NOT SERIOUS about going natural.. but going on the ride because its in style, and may possibly win them more fans! (and more money) seriously, you all don’t understand half the economics behind it, just so desperate to endorse whatever silliness your favourite celebrity does. like i said. its FAKE. its NOT NATURAL. and it is UGLY. last pic is definite proof. grow… Read more »
When I first saw this, I fell in love, she looks beautifulll!
Natural or not, I’m not really feeling the cut. It’s squaring off her head and the product makes it look like a jeri curl circa 1982. Luved the last style she had with the grey though.
her hair’s cute. a lil on the shiny side, like others have said. personally i think it’s a wig…but it might not be.
I think it’s an adorable wig/weave! I was trying to do something similar this summer but I keep chickening out lol very cute look if you can pull it off.… why are there so many pissy comments tho? relax y’all! have you detangled yet? lol
Funny! People truly get way too offended when it comes to these posts on celebrities.

She looks like the Puerto Rican girl from Love and Hip Hop…the one that just married Stevie J!
Riri has a “type 4” natural hair texture, so this is a weave/wig or relaxer of some sort. She’s giving me Joseline teas lol. but yeah, not natural but i actually think its cute on her.
I love it! She’s home (Barbados) for Crop Over (carnival). This is the perfect style for all the partying/beach going she will be doing.
She has such a stunning face. I’m a fan of most of her looks- and this is no exception. I really like the short, dark hair on her.
She looks so cute with her own (but relaxed) hair. But a lil to much gel, I would say.
I dont think its a wig or weave, I think its her own RELAXED hair. Rihanna had never a problem to be awfully honest about everything in her life, if it would have been a weave/wig she would admit it, like she does it since years. So there is no need for her to act like its her own hair if its not. Her hair is relaxed and has to much gel on it, thats all.
Um, yeah. She got texturizer. Either a texurizer or a wig. That’s not that girl’s real hair. It’s cute, though. She looks a lot like Joseline from Love and Hip Hop, thougth–the pic with the red lipstick for sure. Looks like she jockin her style in my opinion.
She has gorgeous curls
I think it looks nice, and cannot for the life of me fathom why everyone cares so much about whether it is natural or not. All these natural hair purists need to sit down. The only reason ya’ll are so gung ho about natural hair, and the way complete STRANGERS choose to wear their hair on THEIR heads is because ya’ll were tardy to the natural hair party. It aint Rihanna’s fault half of you didn’t decide to go natural until Solange did, or even later, so GET OVER YOURSELVES and let the woman live.
Y’all so dam silly natural has nothing to do with relaxed hair (permed hair), if you don’t kno what relaxed is are natural , seem that way some of you don’t kno from which is what..
Plus if she had a perm honey there would be no curls at all
When white ppl get perm they want curls , for black ppl perms mean we want straight hair , so get off her an get it right .. No matter how good a person try to do for themselves ppl go hate .…..
Perm= curls Relaxer= straight Natural=… natural
she got more creamy crack than a beauty supply
I love it! She always looked great with short hair, but I am really digging this more natural look. Go Riri!
Hair is not the issue here. Where’s her Bra! Nice role model…smh.
She has naturally pretty curly hair, completely different from kinky curly. I like her hair and the short style.
Why don’t people just chill out and leave my cuz alone!!!! Whether she has natural, weave, jeri curl or bald that is up to her!! People are such haters and jealousy is such a nasty thing. She is a successful black woman who is doing her own thing, if you don’t like her fine but leave your negative comments under the rock which you obviously crawled from, cha!!!
I LOVE IT.

Its not her hair. It was a wig. This was revealed on her instagram ages ago. So relaxed, natural, watev. It wasn’t her’s to begin with lol.
It’s not natural but it’s cute!
(I know I am looking at this late.)
Maybe ya’ll are just jealous of her hair because it’s probably looser than your own hair, that happens once in a while that a natural is jealous of another’s hair because of the texture.
