The Shorter The Hair, The Harder They Stare
Any African woman will tell you that her pride lies in her beautiful African hair. Be it short or long and in whatever shape or form, her hair is her crown and she wears it like the queen that she is. It can therefore come as a surprise to see our favourite Zalebs decided to cut off their hair and embrace a new and fresh look.
We have put together a list of female Zalebs who’ve done the big chop and who are loving their new look all the same.

Shudufhadzo Musida

At the top of the list is Miss SA 2020 who has embraced her bald look like a goddess and we love to see it. Whoever said that a woman needs to have long hair to be beautiful should definitely have a look at Shudu and have those claims put to shame.
She recently won it big at the Miss Crown 2021 pageant in the Beauty With A Purpose category putting Mzansi’s flag on the map yet again. We couldn’t be more proud of her. Keep shining queen!

Minnie Dlamini

Next up on the list is media personality Minnie Dlamini who recently shocked many when she decided to let her hair go. And while we were already used to her old look, we have to say, this new one looks even better on her!

They say when a woman cuts her hair, then she’s about to change her life. And from the looks of it, Minnie is doing exactly that. She has been under a lot of public scrutiny of late but we are happy to see that she remains at the top of her game. We cannot wait to see what she will be achieving this year.

Mbali Mkhize

The make up artist and business woman is known for turning heads with her beautiful work and stunning fashion sense and we are here for it.

Taking to her Instagram, the influencer took to sharing her new look that left a jaw dropping effect on Mzansi. This was definitely not a move many had seen coming but my oh my, sis looks absolutely gorgeous and we love it for her.

Linda Mtoba

It is no news that this actress is one boss babe that never seems to disappoint Mzansi. And neither did she disappoint not too long ago when she decided to debut her new look.

As documented by entertainment blogger Musa Khawula, the media personality has decided to go for a bob hairstyle that looks incredibly stunning on her. Now this is the content we signed up for. You go girl!

Zola Nombona

Following closely is award winning actress and artist Zola Nombona who recently took to her social media to share with her fans her newest look. In the photo, Zola is seen wearing her new hairstyle and what a breathtaking sight to see.

Taking to her comment section, you can already imagine how pleased and impressed her fans and industry friends are. Zola looks like she just stepped out from a magazine cover and we love this new look for her.

Zozibini Tunzi

This list would be incomplete without the Miss Universe 2019 who for as long as we can remember has been wearing her short hair like the queen that she is. Other than her stunning poses and her kind personality, no one can rock short hair the way she does.

Just recently, the model took to reflecting on her crowning moment as Miss Universe 2019 saying that it reminded her of her life long purpose as well as her childhood dream to contribute to the universe in whatever way possible. And boy has she done exactly that.
