So much hate in this post. Damn! SMH
I admire her for her beauty, and she is a beautiful, feminine woman. There’s nothing masculine about her.
Based on her fine bone structure, she could have cut all her hair off, put a stocking cap on, and worn a wig. This is a woman who could easily rock a baldie.
The stylists obviously didn’t care about her hair, and she could have chosen to protect her hairline.
However, if she doesn’t care about her hair, there’s really nothing more to say. She has access to people who understand natural hair.
Maybe she can’t be bothered. Maybe she feels that’s the price she had to pay for her career. Although I’m surprised she’s even got a few tightly curled strands showing up like that.
@ Loving:
I think you should change your name to “Hating” b/c there was definitely no love in your comment! Wow…
I sincerely feel sorry for her. I can’t imagine having to deal with that because of choices I made and not uncontrollable happenings. I feel so sorry for her. That may be a part of the reason for some of her anger issues.
Thank you Taharqa for that video. Veronica made some great points!
Although I feel very sorry for my fellow Jamaican Brit, I do feel that Ms. Naomi has many options. She can go completely bald, go natural (with intense treatment for her scalp), or wear wigs.
She should not be weaving anything onto her head anymore as it appears that her hairline is severely damaged.
Let’s not tear each other down. Naomi obviously has chosen to pay an awful price to be beautiful. She can turn this around into something positive for other Black women who are tempted to do the same.
What Campbell’s hairline reveals is that one’s financial resources – and hers are considerable – don’t necessarily eradicate ignorance. Either she doesn’t know, doesn’t care, is too lazy, or all of the above. Perhaps the attention focused on Campbell and her hairline will force her to deal with the situation. Then again, maybe not.
Let me first say, im new to this site.. and I love it already! :)
Honestly, I think Naomi Campbell would be fierce if she cut all her hair off!
I’m not going to lie, but these photos motivated me to take care of my hairline even more. Extra attention when I moisturize, and no tension causing styles.
That’s pretty sad, though – both the damage and the countless weaves over the years that cause it in the first place. She had such a great head of hair in one of her childhood photos. :( I hope the damage can be rectified.
Wow, I actually just feel really bad for her.. I mean ya she’s rich and famous but she’s still a human being. this is just really unfortunate in my opinion. At least she has the money to buy expensive wigs to cover that up but that is just really unfortunate!
I feel really sorry for Naomi.
I’m on this site cos I had the same problem.
I grew up with my low cut fro (I’m African African African) through high school, and even first two years of University till 1999 (I had stood proud and weird but Kinky ‘Fros of my type are HAAAAAAAARD to manage around these parts, and don’t number much, so you need to go Lo-Lo-Local to even get someone to plait for you. Did I mention how limited you are in styles 2?)
Then I got a perm (and easily combed and styled) till 2005 when I started noticing my receding hairline. I cut it all off in 2006 and had a blooming fro again in 2008 when my sister in law(to be) practically drove me to the salon, bought the relaxer and ‘disvirgined my hair….
I just came out of a horrible marriage situation in March 2010 – guess what I did in May? Yeah!
Am out fresh and low again, but am growing and natural.
Naomi just needs a few pats on the back and a few more ‘You can do it girl!’ from you and I.
Don’t hoard the love sistahs!
It’s sad for me that someone with her means, who probably visits very high end salons with supposedly very experienced staff did not advise her. I mean for her hair to get to this level did her hairdresser not tell her anything? Even to give her hair a break between work (eg to not wear a weave and just let her hair ‘breathe’ like while on leave or between gigs? Or could this be a case of her being advised and not heeding?
Either way, it’s a good lesson to those like me who also relied heavily on sew-ins. My hair line was already disappearing. I have stopped relaxing and currently trying to restore my hair line before i decied what next with my tresses!
