Lisa Bonet has had locs for a while, but she updated the look by shaving the right side of her head. She’s also kept her natural grey color, which offer a cool contrast to the dark color of the locs. Ladies, what do you think of the look?

She look like her coochie stank!!! LOL
How would you know? I guess you smelled it while swallowing her pubic hairs. You’re a jealous dark skin Kneegrow.
She is Beautiful without makeup. I like her better with the shorter hair. She looks better then H. Berry. I can imagine her with makeup. I would love to see you back on the silver screen, maybe a Lifetime movie.
She looks very old, not just her hair, but in every way except she is still slender, she should look great with her money and she had good genetics/bone structure what happened?
She’s 1/2 WHITE, that’s what happened!!!
I wonder what that is supposed to mean?
I thought we are all striving to be taken as we are and to move and think freely, without beeing reduced (to anything).
Why would one have to be reduced to a half white side? Especially when she considers herself black, or partially black.
What is wrong with beeing (1/2)white, what is wrong with beeing (1/2)black, what is wrong with beeing human?
We don’t make ourselves.
No one should have to justify themselves for their skincolor.
What one (possibly) can justify for is an action, or maybe (f.e.) a comment, that can be painful to some and which can give them an impression that they should be excluded.
She is rocking the silver and black she should cut the locks off and let her natural show all the way.
WOW! SHE LOOKS OLD… WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. I APPRECIATE TRYING TO BE NATURAL BUT DIDNT EXPECT HER TO LOOK LIKE THIS
Wow! No pun intended but age has done a number on this sister. I like the grey locks w/out the shaving…that part added additional age. She’s a beautiful sistah, but needs a makeover.
She looks Great. I am glad she is not trying to look like she is a twin to her grown daughter. It disgust me the level of ignorant comments on this blog…There are truly a bunch of unhappy trolls who feel the need to slam every one every body with their negativity..
Actually I think Lisa Bonet looks great! Her figure. Her face. I don’t understand the point in trying to fight age at every turn. Also, it’s insulting to tell someone who is a loc wearer that they should cut their hair off. It’s like telling a loose natural that they should wear a relaxer. People wear and maintain locs for all sorts of reasons and some of those reasons have little to do with fitting in or looking like the after part of America’s standardized before and after “beauty makeovers.”
For those who thinks she looks so bad, try googling the man she’s had two children with. He’s a tall, muscular, model and actor – GORGEOUS. Just proves that you don’t have to fit into someone’s box of what’s considered beautiful to attract a good-looking man.
I think Lisa is still as beautiful now than ever before. The fact that she is wearing her locs long and shaved on one side is her way of reinventing herself. She was never one to follow any stereotypical fashion guidelines anyway. She is still doing her. You go Lisa.
I know I may get hated on for saying this, but I don’t think she looks good here. She’s always looked so beautiful – maybe it’s the makeup that’s messing it up… since it seems to be kind of melting (no hate: my makeup does this in the heat sometimes too). As for the hair, I think her loss are gorgeous and the grey will look AMAZING as it grows out.. but I’m not a fan of her shaving the side.
Ok so whomever out there threw daggers…ATTN: LISA BONET IS OLDER AND IF YOU GOOGLE HER YOU WILL SEE HOW OLD! She’s no spring chicken and is refined in age. This is ok for all of you who think you’ll be twenty and hot all day but NEWS FLASH!!! YOU WON’T. That is be twenty and thirty forever, and for your sake you better hope your skin is dark because black don’t crack….and if your fair skinned like she is, chances are you may look old. Sorry for this but in the meantime, eat good vegetables, don’t drink because it doesn’t become you, and might age you, and be pure at heart: MEANING…DON’T SAY HURTFUL OR NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO, YOU BRING YOURSELF DOWN FIRST, THEN THEM AND NO GOOD COMES TO YOU….JUST KEEPING IT REAL. SHE LOOKS FINE…FORGET ABOUT AGE BECAUSE AS YOU SPEAK YOUR AGING…TRY TO FIND GOOD THINGS TO FOCUS AND FIXATE ON. LEAVE AGE ALONE BECAUSE WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE???? TIME DOES NOT STAND STILL…YOUR AGING AND SO IS EVERYBODY! SO STOP IT….
P.S. MY LATE GRANDMA USED TO SAY IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY, THEN DONT SAY NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!!
This is a very nice comment that makes sense. Especially the last sentence.
Why is it that people like to bring up such a amount of negativity, in this case, not only adressed to the Lisa Bonet, but amongst each other too.
If a comment is provided in a descent manner, there is no reason to attack the one who commented. For example here is a comment in which s.o. doesn’t like the looks, but she states it in a descent manner and it fits the question, she explains it, and that is that. So it can be accepted and tolerated as her opionion.
But an opinion trying to take the grace of s.o. and belittling the person, takes the grace and respect from the commentator as well (or in the first place).
And unfortunately it reflects on others too. Especially if several people make such comments of the same belittling kind.
If you belittle other human beings, what do you think will come back to you?
To Bella, the comments insulting Lisa Bonet’s looks are kind of disturbing but not surprising. Unfortunately because of the internet and blogs we are privy to the thoughts of all sorts of people. I wouldn’t let them get your blood pressure up; they’re not worth it. I’m more irritated with BGLH for not moderating some of the more severe comments the way other sites like Curly Nikki do so that this blog is more of a safe haven for Black naturals. We know there are some awful thoughts out there but at least on this site we shouldn’t be privy to that kind of language.
SHE MAY EVEN LOOK OLD TO SOME BUT I BET YOU SHE’S OLDER, WISE AND WEALTHY. LIVING GOOD TOO. SHE DON’T CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS SHE’S SO GOOD MONEY! ANYBODY WHO FOLLOWED HER CAREER WOULD KNOW THIS…NOTHING HAPPENED TO HER EITHER, SHE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO WORK MUCH!
Lisa is GORGEOUS and FABULOUS then and now!!! TO BAD SO MANY OF US SISTAH’S ARE SO UNHAPPY WITH OURSELVES WE HAVE TO CUT EACH OTHER DOWN!! ROCK ON LISA…YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!! PEACE
It is not the optimal hairstyle to my taste, but nevertheless she has my greatest respect, because she is making a gentle statement, which is really inspiring and special. As special as I think she is.
I read an article in a newspaper from a woman who decided to go grey or rather let go and just be natural. In this article she spoke about herself and other woman of different ethnic backgrounds who made this decision, which was always well thought of. The woman were between just under 40 and over 65. To go grey can not only mean to save a whole lot of money for all the hair color needed, but it can save you a lot of time, lifetime actually. You don’t only color your hair, but you also worry a lot and invest time to think about your hair and your color and what others might think if you don’t touch up the color in time. Women who are willing to let go and just let nature be, are willing to have a look at themselves and accept themselves just as they are. They usually also accept the fact that they could look older, or that people in the surrounding society will not understand why they are doing that, especially if they could look younger if they colored their hair.
So letting go, is embracing yourself and having an own identity.
I think if you can truelly accept yourself with such matters, that are maybe considered as “flaws” by others, but which are actually just nature and natural, you can reach a much greater peace at mind and relax. You are not trying to be how society thinks you maybe should be.
I am a few years younger than her and many many years ago she was a little bit like a role model to me. I didn’t really pay that great of attention, but she sometimes made me think. When I was rather young, I wondered, why s.o. who has such a natural beauty wouldn’t intensify it by wearing more female-like clothes, or more fashionable ones and so on. But I also developed a kind of respect and learned that you can be very beautiful, eventhough you show individuality and you might look different from others.
I think if Lisa Bonet looks at older media, reflecting her looks, she will be able to see herself and her personal style, which she created for herself, which seems to be timeless. She could wear most of the clothes just the same. She would possibly get the same reactions today (as back then), some people either wouldn’t understand and others would maybe admire her.
I don’t think she looks older than her age, which should presently be mid-forties. Not even with grey hair. She looks individual, creative, free at mind and very respectable. She has a given beauty from the outside. And I’m sure she has done a lot to enhance it, for example to make or keep her youthful slender and natural womanly figure. I don’t think that everybody who has given birth to that amount of children will look that good figurewise. So I do think she invested a lot of time to also stay and get fit and young, for her children and husband. You mustn’t forget that she also has a relatively young child and when you are older that reflects on your body in a different way than when you are in your twenties.
To me she is a very inspiring woman, who in a very peaceful and silent way did a personal rebellion to show individuality and an own identity.
She looks like she has tried to be true to herself and is still doing this, by wearing such a hair cut and showing grey hair, which many can not understand and which some may even think bad of.
By the way, with the mentioned thoughts in mind, I think that her splendid looking husband is not only happy to have such a physically beautiful woman from head to toe, but a woman that most likely has a great or even greater amount of inner beauty (in addition/on top!!!). I am almost sure that he knows what he has there, that seems to be the complete package. As I wrote before I think she is at peace of mind (in general, that doesn’t mean she always is and reacts perfect). What man cannot use/want a woman who is at peace of mind with herself? That must be very very relaxing. I also assume that he gives her a great amount of respect for that matter and therefore, she is even more beautful, wonderful, adorable, sexy, you name it, to him. I also assume that she also respects him for seeing and wanting the true her, may it be with some grey hair or whatever. I assume he must also have a great personality and that them two are some lucky and grateful people (may they having money or not).
Lisa was pretty then and she is absolutely gorgeous now. People we age, we will not look as we did decades ago. She could have saved the whole half shaved head thing, but it could be that she might be starting over. Either way beautiful.
