Tamar Braxton...Black Hair Information

Maintaining long and luxurious hair is a goal for many black women. For some, lengthy tresses are synonymous with beauty and upholding a certain standard of affluence or used as bragging rights. 

There is a belief that black women are not able to maintain extensive lengths of hair nonetheless, some are throwing that notion out of the window and choosing the bold step of sporting drastically short hairstyles.

The following are black celebs who have big chopped their locks and are completely fabulous.  No surprise there.
