In a world that keeps moving towards the Western ways of doing things and the Western idea of beauty, it is refreshing to see media personalities who are comfortable in their own short natural hair.
People cut and keep their hair short for different reasons, for some the reasons are that, when the hair is short, it is easily manageable and affordable. For others keeping their hair short is statement and proof that a person can look fabulous in any hairstyle as long as they wear it with confidence.
Following is a list of five Mzansi personalities who slay short natural hair:
