Jill Scott Goes Back to Natural: Are Celebs Big Chopping for Health or Press?
After rocking a relaxer in summer 2010, Jill Scott has big chopped for her second time since stepping into the spotlight. She revealed her new “TWA” at a performance at Somersot House in England.
Since Scott got a lot of flack for relaxing her hair, it’s interesting to see her do the big chop again.
We’re all for women having the freedom to change their hair as they please and embrace any style, texture, or length they see fit. But as natural hair becomes increasingly popular among artists and the women in their fan base, we sometimes wonder what the real motive is in big chopping.
Is it a move toward growing healthier hair or a chance to gain publicity and appeal to a fanbase of naturals? What are your thoughts, Clutchettes?

Around the Web
ok, ok,… many of us are tired of hearing about the natural hair revolution. I understand, it does get overwhelming and in-your-face alot, but I get where the excitement is coming from. IMO, the constant talk comes from finally getting to the end of generations of hearing so many negative things about our hair i.e. it’s too curly, it’s too kinky, your hair is nappy, etc. Remember “nappy” and “kinky” were insults except in the 70′s. As you know, criticism crushes self esteem. We went years as black people changing our hair to how “society” thought it was supposed to look. Well once natural hair was embraced, plastered all throughout the media, massive products made to cater to natural hair, well we were so glad to finally have acceptance verses criticism we kinda lost it in a sense. Yes, many may have become fanatics, at the end of the day it is…just hair! I don’t believe any harm is meant, we’re just so excited and proud to finally have something positive said about our tresses. It’s ours naturally grown seen now with pride and not shame…just saying.
I went natural because I grew tired of relaxing and coloring my hair. My maintenance routine is now less time-consuming and less expensive.
I think the “big chop” is both a great way to grow healthier hair and a bold statement that “I’ve come into my own,” and am comfortable with me. BEAUTIFUL JILL!!! You go girl.
