15 Celebs Who Look Flawless In Short Blonde Hair

Ready to big chop? Here's the inspo you need.

There’s just something inexplicably gorgeous about Black women in blonde hair….or any other hair color, to be honest. However, the juxtaposition of light hair against beautiful brown skin is a combination that we never grow tired of seeing.

Case in point: K. Michelle, who shaved her head earlier this summer, just took her makeover up a notch by dying it platinum. As expected, she looks flawless and now, we’re reminded of other A-list beauties who have also slayed in a similar ‘do.

Cut that shit up off my head. Needed to get that pain and the demons up off me @thepeopleiusedtoknow
