Tiffany Haddish broke the internet a few days ago when she did the big chop. She cut all of her hair off and then took it further with the smooth shave.

She posted why;

“Cut my hair! I cut all my hair off cause I want to see my Scalp . I know my whole body I know where every mole is but I don’t know my Scalp. So hello Scalp #SheReady to everything.”

Then she explained that it wasn’t because she was losing her mind, which is what a lot of people assume in these instances.

Here’s the thing: Tiffany isn’t alone. A lot of women have gone the way of the big chop in the past.

Amandla Stenberg – “hi all-

I just finished working on a film called Where Hands Touch directed by the incredible @iammaasante.

The story is about the experience of biracial children growing up in Nazi Germany. I shaved my head for the role. Feels really good. I feel so aerodynamic now. I’ve achieved ultimate speed. 🙂

Hope your year is off to a good start. I know 2017 looks scary. I truly believe in the power of our words and the way we connect to each other. Sendin love your way.”
