Solange Knowles has released the following statement about her haircut with the following responses. I must say that after reading this I totally agree and love her even more... fight the social constructs of beauty! Let's also not forget that it isn't Amber Rose who first shaved their head but Grace Jones back in the 1970s, or even India.Arie in 2006 while she was promoting her third album!

Don’t want an edge up or a perm, because I’m not trying to make this “a style” or a statement. I just wanted to be free from the bondage that black women sometimes put on themselves with hair. This phase of my life I want to spend the time, the energy and the money on something else and not in the hair salon. I’m not mad at all of you that have made your opinions known and have sent negative energy my way. I expected this of you, and you have the right to have an opinion. So do I"
