The Bald And The Beautiful: Who Does This Haircut Suit? (PHOTOS, POLL)

Solange Knowles recently stepped out with a shaved head, causing onlookers to wonder what was going on inside her head. But she defended her decision on on Jul 23rd when she tweeted "this. phase. of. my. life. i. want to spend . the time. the energy. and the money. on something else. not in the hair salon."

For that reason and many others, women have been rocking the hairless look for a while -- and in this heat, it's something we might consider, too. From Sinead O'Connor's tress rebellion to Demi Moore's G.I. Jane crop to Britney's mane meltdown, click through below to see a compendium of chrome domes, and let us know who is both bald and beautiful.

Aaaah, Sudanese Nilotic beauty is absolutely the BEST!! Nilotics are the parents of the human race. What beautiful ancestors we have. Love you, Alek Wek.

[L3ftofC3nter]

Alek Wek pulls it off the best in my opinion. The woman is flawless. Amber Rose looks good as well.
For some reason the white women they featured don't pull off the bald look as well. Melissa Ethridge would have been a nice feature.

[ladydragon]

I thought somebody said that Amber Rose is a pole dancer/stripper.

Very few women can get by with a bald head. I don't like it, but I also h ate long hair on men.

[DaisyDooks]

African women have worn this style since antiquity. They are living goddesses.

[Dr Manhattan]

Now let's have another poll on the "is bald is beautiful" question with pictures. Except draw the focus further south.

[TigersEye]

You are baaaaaad, ha ha!

[DaisyDooks]

Ooooooh, you're mind is in the gutta'.

[Recessionista]

I thought Linda McCartney looked beautiful and courageous bald, or with short hair as she fought cancer.
Would love to see included in this as someone who was not going bald for a movie or to get noticed!

I agree! so did Melissa Etheridge, she was STUNNING without hair.

[NoSillyName]

Not IMO.

[Cogs]

Bald women are featured on a number of pay websites. There's a niche for everybody. Feet. Fat.Furry.

[JScott]

Where's the 'Stop The Madness' lady?

[Judyisacutie]

Susan Powter? I think she's retired. You're funny.

[chocoicecream]

ALEKKKKK! what has she been been up to, its been a while...i know she has a bag company.

[BeaglesRule]

Love Alek Wek, but Amber Rose is my number one.

I think she's gorgeous ~ and I wish I had her figure. Dayum.

[sweetwhine]

I agree. She's got a knock out figure.

[LMPE]

If it was up to me, everyone - men and women - would always have long hair.

[iRock]

But it's not up to you.

[NoSillyName]

iRock, you made a major error when you chose your avatar. You are not a nice, friendly person.

[billysix]

Wow man. Like, ya know, like long hair, man. Like long hair is like really, really cool, ya know. Especially back in the seventies, man. Like really, really cool.

Children.

[TigersEye]

What? I have very long hair, so? ALL lengths of hair are fine, it's whatever works for that particular person. There is no need to insult people based on their hair length, that's a bizarre way to judge someone.

[NoSillyName]

billys, why so snide, sarcastic and mean-spirited? Looking at some of your other comments, its no wonder you don't have any fans. Maybe iRock will fan you now that I've pointed out your sad state of affairs. But then, you probably like it that way.
