Janet Jackson shears her long tresses and debuts a daring, super-short new look in London, where she is to promote Why Did I Get Married, Too? Love it or hate it? Have at it, Janatics, more photos AFTER THE JUMP ...

I like it too. Janet hasn't rocked a short 'do in a minute.

I love it. Nothing to make a woman of a certain age look amazing than to concentrate on THE FACE (Ask Natalie Cole!).
Janet looks great and I am seriously looking forward to her in NOLA this July @ Essence!

She looks like Jermaine in the first two pics, and Dwight from the Real Housewives of Atl in the third.

That woman would look good bald-headed. :-) But she rocks the look, that's for sure!

Fierce!

The archetype strikes again. She does no wrong.-QH

HOW DREADFUL

I think its alright. I like it better than the ubiquitous weaves and extensions on many Black women these days. I've gotten to the point of hating that, especially since it often looks fake. I'd love to see more black women wear their hair "natural." My sister even had weaves/extensions put on my little nieces' heads (8 and 10 years old). And I've noticed that is not uncommon. Why the hell do little girls need fake hair?!
Sorry for the tirade... Black women's hair issues just get me a little hype.

kP I agree with you I'm weaved out! I like the look...the photos not so much

Love the look and I hope she has the courage to perform at Essence with this...
TEAM JANET!

I am a big Janatic and I hate it. Janet and short hair makes no sense to me and it makes her face look hard. I like the long hair on her and it's part of her performances as much as the dance moves and costumes she wears. Not a good look at all.

I like the short her. It's more natural and less maintenance. It's a great way to celebrate her womanhood, age and style.
No offense to Janet fans, but do you really think all that ALL that hair was hers? Imo her "real" hair is probably very short anyways, closer to this than that looooong weave anyway. Go Janet, do you!

Janet obviously has a nice grade of hair (base on the fineness of her baby hair), so I don't know why she didn't do this sooner. But oh hell, don't mind me; I like everything this woman does. Luv Her!

LUV it or HATE it Jan is in CONTROL!!
Posted by: Cedric | 21 May 2010 at 16:45
These pics are not flattering at all. Halle and Nia Long are the only actresses that I know can pull a short hairdo.
Posted by: Fred | 21 May 2010 at 18:45
I think the last picture is the best.
