Black Girl With Long Hair
Stop the presses! A day many thought would never come has arrived! Beyonce has cut her HAIR! And of course it’s gorgeous.
She took to Instagram late last night to reveal her new pixie cut. It definitely brings out the beauty of her eyes and the shape of her face in a way that I hadn’t noticed before.
It is so refreshing to see Beyonce switch up her look! She is so beautiful that she can rock anything! What do you think ladies?
*Update*
Beyonce showed up to a party in NYC rocking her new look. Love!

Just some pics of Beyonce’s REAL hair which is very beautiful even though most of it is gone now.[file]https://bglh-marketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/12-beyonce-real-hair-1.jpg[/file]
smdh. Just a couple years ago when I first discovered this site, the comments would overflow with support and positivity. Now, all I ever see is ridiculously ignorant and sometimes even racist statements stemming from a lot of hate or jealousy. The comments go off on negative tangents, people feed the trolls, the cycle perpetuates. I’m going to stop reading the comments altogether. Nothing of substance resides there anymore.
The cut is cute, but I too would like to see a different color. Maybe a chestnut brown or black. Nice to see her switching it up and trying new things.
Beyonce has pretty eyes.
Most entertainers, whether they be singers or actresses, admit to wearing weaves and wigs to protect their hair from all the heat and styling they under go doing their craft. Its not a big deal. They aren’t trying to hide anything or fool anyone. Its all a part of the act just like a costume. I don’t understand why people are making such a big deal out of it. Knowing Beyoncé I will just wait for the interview where I hear from her mouth what the deal is about her hair, not that it matters a bit. She’s a hard working entertainer and I enjoy her work. She’s beautiful, short hair, long hair, weave, wig or whatever.
Cut? 1. WHY is this news?? 2. She took out her weave and had her REAL hair trimmed. 3. She looks like a little boy or a cross dresser now. She’s a pretty woman but this is not flattering to her.
Not to be funny but I’m surprised she still has any edges. Those lace fronts/wigs she wore looked to be extremely tight. I’ve seen the damage hair pieces can do over time. Ijs.
She looks better with the wigs unless she add some tracks an let another style do it right an color it all black cause the cut is not doing it for me she look like a man( tranz)
So why did she have to hide behind the wigs? She could have just worn her own hair. If her REAL hair was healthy and thick and everything her stylist says it was then WHY hide it, then cut it off? Beyonce is just full of it. Why tell lies. She could have just said she had a hair cut and just left it at that.
looking gr8 B. Mwah!
her hair looks really brittle and damaged. I hope she lets the bleach grow out
I think I would like it more if she kept it black or dark brown. The blonde hair with dark roots looks kind of tacky. The cut is cute though and she of course is gorgeous as usual!
am i really the only one who thinks that she looks like joseline hernandez?

Personally, I think Joseline Hernandez rocks the short look better.
yes you are the only one that thinks that…they look nothing alike…Joseline cut looks better
Hi5 thats wat i thought! #StripperHair
Nobody here thinks its a pixie cut lacefront wig? Come on now people, we all know she’s got the best lacefronts in the world.
Avanti, I agree. Every body on here should have sense enough to know by now, that Beyoncé’s “long hair” was only lace front wigs. Heck! On her HBO documentary she showed her real hair(appeared to be average shoulder length, straightened)and said that she wore lace front wigs. I’ve never worn a wig nor weave in my life(I have thick ,waist-length relaxed hair) and I could tell that her long, fried, over bleached dry, dull looking tresses were not hers. Plus, even with a part– you never see her scalp! This is just a short, pixie-cut wig!
she just removed the weave. Where the problem?? Why all this dialogue?? Anyone who thought that was her hair is an idiot.
You know what? I never thought of that…..maybe it’s just a stunt to see how the public will react to it. If most don’t like it, then just “watch” how “fast” it will grow back lol. But then again I thought she was wearing a weave to begin with?
Who cares? People cut their hair everyday. Why is this even on the 10 o’clock news?
I am confused on the natural black women deal to. Black women have all different types of hair. And I also must add she is not half white. One of her parents is biracial. And science stated anything mixed with black is considered black. So they consider her mother black therefore beyonce is black not biracial.
But I don’t think I like the cut on her. It may take some getting use to. To me it gives her a man look. But she is a pretty girl. I maybe just be use to the long hair look on her.
“And science stated anything mixed with black is considered black.”
Are you kidding? lmao….
Now I HAVE heard it all!!
The one-drop rule is a historical colloquial term in the United States for the social classification as Negro of individuals with any African ancestry; meaning any person with “one drop of Negro blood” was considered black. The principle of “invisible blackness” was an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status.[1] The one-drop rule was not adopted as law until the 20th century: first in Tennessee in 1910 and in Virginia under the Racial Integrity Act of 1924 (following the passage of similar laws in several other states).
(Learn your facts before you speak. Google the meaning of the one drop rule. Then at the time you will have heard it all the correct facts. Lmas you dummy)
“When the Supreme Courts struck down Virginia’s law prohibiting inter-racial marriage in Loving v. Virginia (1967), it also declared Plecker’s Virginia Racial Integrity Act and the one-drop rule unconstitutional.”
Read the entire Wikipedia story before you starting preaching to people “dummy”
I love how so many black people have adopted this racist “rule” as truth.
You need to go back in read the entire article and do more searching on the Internet. It’s still in effect.
FYI I’m biracial German and black. My birth certificate states that I am black. However I do not look black. I also have a 1 year old by my husband which is white and her birth certificate also states she is black.
Yes it is a racist rule. But it is very true. I don’t know all the details to the rule but I do know that its still used.
I am mixed and my birth certificate states that I am black. My father is white and my mother is black. I was born in Norfolk VA 25 years ago.
and I’m mixed race(and relatively dark..darker than Beyonce fer sure) but my birth certificate(from US) said I was White. :S I had it amended(a page added because they won’t redo it).
Forget birth certificates and stupid labels. Please.
the one drop rule has never been science. it’s politics. there’s a difference
What color do you get when mixing 10% white paint into black paint? Black.
socially, not scientifically. scientifically speaking there’s no such thing as “Black” or “white”, only human.
Thank you!
RMFE Why is it that only black people repeat this spiel? Every other animal in the kingdom are classified by phenotype but when it comes to homo sapiens it’s “social” okay.
Actually, the one-drop rule was a made up tool created by white slavers to designate enslaved Africans who were fathered by the owners, drivers or whoever was allowed to rape enslaved African women as property.
This was an economical tool used to allow plantation owners to excuse themselves for claiming their own children as chattel and in some rare cases, prevent some overly sympathetic owner from freeing these children.
There was never any science involved or any research. It was an economical plan. This is also how the terms mulatto, octoroon and quadroon were invented. Those were used to determine the “whiteness” of the child and how or where they would live out their lives.
Its really sad when people start thinking the one drop rule is science….I almost cried….
Race is a social construct. Nothing more nothing less. It does not exist. We live in a fucked up time.
It’s really not that deep. I’m pretty sure it’s more important things you can focus on or cry over. All of you are sad.
Science stated it? I don’t think so.
She looks like a man
no she doesn’t she actually looks cuter than she does with that long dramatic weave
….Why is her hair cut international news this week? It’s a hair cut! Thumbs up and keep it moving. But its cute and its nice to see her look like a normal natural black woman.
Her hair was real thin and damaged so this cut is a healthy move for her…….. Peep the pic.
[img]https://bglh-marketplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/bh-2.jpg[/img]
Brie what do you mean like a normal black woman ? What do normal black woman look like ? short hair? are you forgetting she is also half white ?
I am black and my hair is close to my waist so maybe I also dont match your stereotype .
Beyonce is not half white
No but grandmother was of french and Cherokee Indian descent
that’s her grandmother, on her mother’s side? was her father black? as well as her mother, right? makes her an american of african descent, w/ some european and native american thrown in the mix….
Normal black woman. I have heard it all now Bre. Black women and men differ so much when it come to skin color & hair textures. There is no way to group a black person in such class. If thats what you call it.
Hr I dont think she is half white.
No you took it wrong. I too have long hair myself. I mean she looks like a normal black women meaning “natural” not artificial with the over dramatic weaves.… Just natural beauty,normal hair, no enhancements.
Her mom is NOT white. How did you even come to that conclusion. Beyonce has distant european/native heritage on her mother’s side in ADDITION to black on BOTH of her parents’sides.Have you seen pictures of her cousins on her mom’s side? They are clearly black.
That picture is from years ago, so you don’t know how much healthier her hair has gotten. I don’t think there is “normal” black woman image. she still looks like the same person but with shorter hair.
Pictures can lie: I saw the pics of her from behind when this photo was taken, and her hair was gathered up, she just left some loose at the front. Therefore it looks thinner than it is, but I guess mediatakeout just wanted a story, so…..
Anyway, I like the cut but hate blonde hair on black women. In my opinion it would look better in dark brown.
I love her new hair cut and she looks cute! Emma wonder her honey what he thinks about it.

Finally, I mean this was a long time coming. Finally she got the confidence to just…be. I got tired of seeing all the blonde weaves and lace fronts!
I believe this is an expensive wig but its gorgeous on her
What do I think of illuminati puppet, NWO Beyonce Knowles haircut? It’s not bad. But Halle Berry still walks away with the crown (no pun intended).
She would be wonderful with a black power!
I think it’s awesome that she is rocking HER hair, regardless of anyone’s opinion. I have nothing against wigs or weaves, but I think when that is the ONLY thing the public/media knows and expects, that they get super confused.
I’ve seen in other media avenues fans asking her why she cut her “long beautiful hair”.
Maybe cutting the chain to the image that she has with the waist length blonde wigs/weaves is what she needed in perfect timing…. Who knows, but I support her rocking HER hair 100%.
I HAVE ONLY 1 WORD TO DESCRIBE WHAT I THINK ABOUT HER NEW LOOK AND THAT’S “BEUATIFUL”. HER HAIR DOESN’T MAKE HER BEAUTIFUL IT’S HER INNER-BEAUTY N SOUL N TALENT THAT’S WHAT MAKES BEYONCE! THAT’S REAL TALK PEOPLE.
Rhianna cant’ make a move without this woman biting. Rhianna, though not my favorite musician, stay setting trends.
She looks comfortable and cute!! But one thing I know for sure is that she’s going to miss her long hair… Specially Dancing… It look sexy when she move the hair…
You mean she took off her extensions.
Horrible! ????
It’s about time she rocks short hair. This will probably be short lived, unfortunately:[
Haircut? I thought that she merely removed her weave…
My immediate thought was, “She looks like Eva from America’s Next Top Model”! It’s a nice cut and color but I like the long hair for her. That being said, EVERY girl should have short hair at least once in their life. You haven’t gotten proven confidence unless you dare to not care!

Cute. I wonder if she cut it to save herself time. Does she have another baby on the way, or was that just a rumor? She said on Tyra’s show that she likes to do her own makeup and have less “crew” traveling with her for tours. Maybe shorter hair means she can do her own hair, too without an extra person following her around. Whatever her reasons, it’s cute.
But why did my eyes go straight to that Jane Carter Solution product towards the bottom right hand corner of her 3rd pic??? #productjunkieproblems
LOL. U got it bad.
I think the cut is adorable!
A girl’s gotta stay relevant somehow….
Thank you. Someone had to say it. The pixie cut is cute. But come on, the poor girl hasn’t had a hit single since 2011. It screams, “please look at me.” She’ll probably go on interviews soon to talk about the hair cut. But she won’t talk about politics or social issues publicly. And no, her hand written notes and photo ops (at protests and the like) do not count. SMH
I personally think she looks beautiful with brown hair. The blonde washes her out and highlights that….nose job. No shade. Real talk.

Actually, the last time Beyonce topped the billboard charts was way back in 2008 with Single Ladies. She’s been riding on her past glory for years and years now. She’s played out musically so she’s gotta resort to pulling stunts for attention. That wig will be right back on her head in a matter of weeks.
What are you talking about? She is on tour now and those concerts are packed if not sold out. So many angry black women on this site. Beyonce is beautiful, extremely successful, graceful, and talented, but it still surprises me how much jealousy she conjures from disgruntled people. She’s on tour, she has a child now, she may just want someone new for her 30s. Stop hating.
I totally agree Joyce, I don’t know why so many women hate on her. They even go so far as to make up nasty rumors about her that are not even close to true. She is a highly successful singer, dancer, and performer, so why all the hate? She cut her hair and put the pic on Instagram, not to get attention but to show her new cut just like many celebrities do, but because its Beyonce she has to be up to something. All the negative comments are only calling attention to how popular a celebrity she is….people we need to support each others success a little more. Stop hating on each other because it gets us nowhere.
She did a great concert in atlanta last month. I believe it was sold out.
What a performer she is. Worth every dime.
So right. Why is this splashed all over the new outlets? Big deal. Where was the attention when Kelly Rowland big chopped?
wow i’d hate to think what people say about black women is true. we are our own worst enemies. a hardworking and successful black woman decides to change her hair style and automatically it’s because she’s not making any more hits? come on ladies this is a hair blog not a platform to judge!
Eli – regardless of race you’ll find people tend to stay stuff like that anyway. Some celebrity somewhere is always being called irrelevant. I do think Beyonce needs another big hit but I don’t think she is anywhere near over as an artist. I like the pixie cut but I feel like she really can’t win. It’s a long blonde weave, people complain, it’s a pixie cut, people don’t like it. On a news website people were going on about how women shouldn’t have short hair, she doesn’t have the features to pull it off, you need small features etc etc. Too many rules so you may as well do what you want as pleasing people is impossible.
But that’s what an entertainer is supposed to do, right…work to stay relevant? Sometimes an image make-over can do lots for an entertainer’s career. I don’t see it as a bad thing…
I love it. I think after years of blond hair dye and weaves, it probably “cut itself” because of all the damage and thinning. This is DEF more attractive!
I’m not a huge fan of Beyoncé* but I am a huge fan of the pixie cut. That said, I don’t like this pixie cut on her, I agree that it does age her, but it also highlights her beautiful cheekbones.
*and no autocorrect didn’t autocorrect the spelling of “Beyoncé”
I think it’s interesting that folks are saying she cut her hair, rather than, the truth, which is she took her wig off, no shade, just truth.
Eh…I think the cut ages her, however I do think this is her hair!
Even if “she took her wig off”, should would still have to cut her hair to get this look.
Ummm no- sorry. Even as someone who isn’t a Beyonce fan- chick had long hair since she was llittle. Do a search for the pictures – or better yet- find the video, “Yeah,Yeah,Yeah”. It was Beyonce first girl group when she was like 12.
I don’t see why it’s so hard to believe a black chick had long hair. Is it because you don’t have long hair? And that’s why you can’t believe it when you see it on others? Lol #CattyRidiculousness.
There goes the lace front businesses.
Go on, Queen B.
Her pixie cut is gorgeous
My coworker who is a huge fan said, “She looks beautiful, but she is in so much trouble when I talk to her!” Lol #ObsessedBeeHive
I swear this seems atypical of new mommys. No time for all that hair when running down behind the little ones.
It’s a half or 3/4 wig.
This woman is so “shook” IJS. The short cut does absolutely nothing for her then again not every woman can be fierce with a little bit of hair.
Call me crazy but I think a nice burgandy red or blue black would set this cut off. I don’t really like blonde so I’m biased, I’m glad she let the weave go for a minute though rubbing your scalp and not feeling tracks is one of the best feelings ever lol
I agree. I don’t like the color. Dye it a chocolate brown or even black and this cut would be better.
Beyonce can do no wrong.
Dang why is there so much shade thrown at Beyonce on this blog? Lol, but wait until Single Ladies is on the radio, and all of y’all will have your hands up. Smh. Beyonce is amazing, and you know it.
meh
I must say it is a change for her, seems like her hair has always been a part of her persona. Would be interesting to see her actual “perform” on stage w/this new cut. But I’m quite sure her wigs are safely in her climate controlled closet and she can snap one back on in a second if she chooses to. I just like the fact that she’s letting people see her as “regular” a lot of celebs these days are ditching the weaves and letting you see their true selves.
I don’t see her actually performing a full show/concert with this haircut. One slow song here and there, yes, but for the more dramatic songs, involving a lot of dancing? I don’t see it happening. The hair is part of the performance, with the fan/wind machine blowing through her long weave. #noshade I’m just being honest–it’s part of the “Beyonce” experience.
I think it’s a nice cut, but I find it makes her look masculine and she is looking more and more caucasian. Beyonce has less of a nose and it’s interesting because I’ve never noticed her nose before these pics…her haircut brought that out. I’m tired of the usual blond hair color. I think she is an attractive woman, but she can be attractive without losing her ethnicity.
Sigh unfortunately it seems to be a trend in Black Hollywood……Kerry Washington, Beyonce, half the members of Destiny’s Child….and I’m not hating….I’ve Googled old pics of these celebs and Ray Charles can see the difference
WAIT, how is Kerry Washington losing her ethnicity?
If that is a wig that is the BEST looking wig I have ever seen in my life! Hands down!
I love it! It looks so good on her. I’m glad she finally decided to switch it up too!
She looks amazing…. Nuff said
it looks ok…it’s cool she did something different though…
A permed and bleached Halle Berry cut. My hair is natural and I’m not inspired or impressed by this. But it looks cute on her.
That’s basically what is. Halle Berry’s already done this. Been doin it for years.
If that’s a wig (although i dont think it is)…its the best one I’ve EVA seen! If that’s a wig, B must be bald because I don’t think even the thinnest braids underneath can look that flat-and a wig look THAT natural-but I could be wrong. What if next she rocks a natural TWA…awww Lawd! We’re gonna go crazy! LOL…I ain’t mad at her…It’s cute, fresh and unexpected for B.
I like that short hair cut. I’ll admit though I am kinda tired of the blond. I’d like to see her in a darker color to contrast her face more. She looks great though.
I like the short style. Beyoncé is beautiful and so if her sister Solange. We see Beyoncé face and she has great complexion and beautiful eyes. When wealthy powerful Black women make bold moves lie this, this speak high volumes and oh yeah, people notice the money trail.
Oh how I love love love a pixie cut!!!! She looks fab. I used to have one but now I’m afraid to cut because for me it takes too long to grow back. This looks awesome on her.
I like the cut, I like the blonde…and no, that is not a wig. But even if it was – it’s hot!
I think that the fight for economical power has begun, and Beyouce is on board with her sisters. This message is the beginning and the ending of allowing the weave to be a power over us. So, sisters are we ready…. because when we go to war you got to get ready to take some hits.
So you really think this woman is part of some black power beauty revolution and not just biting now that she’s been replaced by someone young and trendy?
I don’t think it suites her, i don’t like it.
You ladies always assume it’s a wig. SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!!! Don’t hate.
Beyonce has a GORGEOUS face, she could really rock any hairstyle! I personally don’t think that this hairstyle suites her. I think hair this short looks good on women her are more petite. However, she looks happy with it so that’s the main thing!
YAWN
Lol i concur!
I didnt realize that TINA SMITH was still commenting….
I did not miss the drama
No wonder so many women are obsessed with hair seeing how it plays a
big role in ones looks. As much as I hate to say it, this cropped do does absolutely nothing for her whatsoever, plain, average, boring.
Halle, Angela Bassett, Rihanna, Nia Long, now those women can rock a short cut and kill it.
Wig or not that hair cut suits her! It’s ssooo cute
It’s a wig
Its a wig but its cute
I kinda knew this was coming. Since becoming a mom, her hair just hasn’t been as up to par as it used to. And I know she mainly rocks wigs, especially when on stage, but those haven’t looked great either. She probably wanted something more manageable with her exceptionally busy life. She’s gorgeous either way! But I would like to see the new cut in her natural color or a dark brown.
I think the blonde makes her hair look dry. I think a darker color would look better.
Hmm…i like it…but somehow, i think this might be a wig…idk…either way, she rocks it well 🙂
She looks gorgeous! I cant even say enough of how beautiful she looks with the short hair….and HER hair
I hope it lasts (but i doubt it)
Beyonce is beautiful… however, I think this cut draws attention to her broad neck.
It’s okay. I think she only did it because Lysa Cooper called her and Rihanna out in Italian Vouge for the boring long weaves.
Dont understand how somebody can call Rihanna out. She is also a short cut Icon. I mean some people go to their barber and tell them they want the Rihanna pixie cut.
Rihianna ‘werks’ that cut! It fits her face and over all style! I think this hair style ages Beyonce, but I’m glad she’s giving her wigs a break!
What’s up the blond all of the time?
I agree stephanie, now if she had it in her natural hair color, now we’re talkin’!! And I don’t think that it’s a wig because from the front it doesn’t look like it, but then again, who knows. I’m just surprised she isn’t rockin’ the long blond weave. Let’s see how long this short haircut lasts before she has the long hair flowing again.
I think its absolutely lovely. When I saw these pictures pop up on my Instagram timeline I was like NO FRIGGIN WAY…NO SHE DIDN’T…but she DID…AND I LOVE IT!!! She has a very beautiful face and she’s really letting us have it now…
Looks fabulous! It does really highlight her beauty. I reckon she’s going natural.
No, she ain’t lol It’s just a short haircut. I would love it if she did though.
WOW! Love it!
FINALLY!!!!
I LOVE short hair, and her’s is defiantly not an exception! She has joined the ranks of Halle Berry, Jill Scott, Viola Davis, Solange, Angela Basset, and the other fierce women who totally and completely OWN cropped locks.
She looks beautiful and her features are stunning when on full display like this.
I find it funny with which TAM TAM Beyonce is showing that she has short hair now. Like it would be such a BIG DEAL. She put it out like she is saving lifes. I mean Halle Berry is a short cut Icon and she just did it without all this dramatic scenario.
How is she making a “big deal” out of it? She posted some pictures on Instagram. I post pictures of my Starbucks order on Instagram, that doesn’t mean I think that it’s a huge deal, I’m just sharing bits and pieces of my life.
And anyways, if someone is the sort of person who follows celeb and fashion news, it is sort of a big deal. Beyonce, the queen of long blond fake hair (no judgement, she rocks it well) suddenly chops it off, then this IS news. And considering this is a hair site…
🙂
As someone who’s old enough to remember Halle Berry in her younger, longer-hair days (late 1980s) I can tell you that when she first showed up on screen with her shorter ‘do A LOT of black women wanted it, including me. Unfortunately I’d gotten the (shorter) Anita Baker cut (which, ironically, looks a little more like Halle’s hair now) so I had to grow it out to the Halle Berry cut. That was one of the few relaxed hairstyles that always looked good on me, if I do say so myself…
To the subject: Honestly, I’m just happy to see the Queen Bee without a weave. Beyond that, as another fan of the pixie, I think it looks really good on her. And I know this is probably heresy to say on this site, but the shorter hair makes her look less like a glamorous *superstar* and more like a regular working wife and mother you’d see on the street. I think she could *almost* go incognito with this look and if it were me I’d think that was a good thing…
