Singer Solange Knowles sported a new do while out with her son Daniel Julez Smith, 4½, on Thursday in Los Angeles. While she had no intentions of “making a statement” with her new hairstyle, Solange has indeed done so unknowingly. In a twitter message sent out today(July 23), Solange reacted to fans who questioned why she cut her hair:
“Listen if i wanted to make a statement, i would have twitpic’d photoshoot etc. [I was] simply taking my son to school. Stupid paps took pic. I’ve had my haircut 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… Don’t need your attention or your co-sign. I am #3 trending topic before Iran and some of you can’t even locate it on a map. It’s sad.”
As for why she prefers a short do, Solange said, “…I just wanted to be free from the bondage that black women sometimes put on themselves with hair. This phase in my life, i want to spend the time, the energy, and money on something else not in the hair salon.”
