LIFESTYLE: MARCIA HAMILTON, CREATOR OF WILLOW’S “FIERCE” LOOKS
She has created looks for the likes of Serena Williams, Jada- Pinkett Smith, Kelly Rowland, Kim Kardashian and more recently, for nine-year-old Willow Smith. Celebrity hair stylist Marcia Hamilton is known for her edgy and trendsetting styles so it comes as no surprise that when celebrity kid Willow Smith wanted a new look, she turned to Marcia.
“Willow’s cut was a decision made between her and Jada, and I executed their vision,” Hamilton recently revealed to Essence magazine. “Willow’s a fierce little girl with energy, imagination and spunk. We wanted to give her a look that represented all of those things, and was easy to care for. Once I started cutting, Willow actually requested the clippers! Look, it’s 2010. Can’t our little girls move into the future without ruffling feathers? The look is fun, empowering, anti-relaxer and anti-weave. More women need to steer their little girls in this direction. If your child is a forward-thinker, you should guide her instead of smothering her.” (Source)

IT’S THE GROWN WILLOW
Basically what some of you are implying is that Willow Smith having her hair cut shows bad parenting, somebody call CPS for Will and Jada. Lets forget that this little girl is bilingual, intelligent as well as a young philanthropist. All in spite of her parents being the most horrible parents in The world.
I find it sad that ppl are so self righteous that they criticize what they know nothing about.
Wow, you cannot enjoy the celebrity, and not take the comments or reactions! Let’s just say, it does not Become her,,,,,
Well said and thank you.
There are much BIGGER things to worry about thats going on in the world than a hair cut on a 9 year old! Seriously!!! We as a people need to get are priorities in order. All of you will sit here and commet over a stupid hair style, when “BECOME A MENTOR FOR NATIONAL CARES MENTORING MOVEMENT” only had 7 comments,and “HOLLY ROBINSON-PEETE AND DAUGHTER TALK ABOUT THEIR NEW BOOK” had 8 comments.. Things that really matters! While this post is flowing with plenty of comments. We need to start showing intrest and caring about whats really important…..It pisses me off when we have all the time for ignorance than stuff that could possibly change the world for better. Everyone arguing or debating over her hair aint going to change the fact that its shaved…GET OVER IT!
It’s not just the hair cut, it’s also that Hollywood has a bad track record with its children. Will and Jada should be smarter than to indulge every whim of a 9 year old. What will she be asking for at 13?
As for the stylist, I expect that kind of comment from her, she’s getting paid and she wants to keep her client; she’ll do what ever a client ask even if she didn’t agree with it.
Seems like everybody needs somthing to complain about! This is her parents choice. It’s not a choice I would make for my daughters but hey to each is own. We all raise are children diffrent and you people may not be saying it but your implying that’s it bad parenting skills. You cannot tell a parent how to raise there child. Alot of you on this site will go into a full debate on how un important a child hair is yet now it’s a diffrent story. Willow seems to be a well rounded mature child.if she is to regret this later so what! Who don’t have regrets?
‘Alot of you on this site will go into a full debate on how un important a child hair is yet now it’s a diffrent story.’
true statement
People – it’s a hair cut… hair… really just hair… being cut off our head. Its not like the child went and got a tattoo on her lower back or anything.;.. Its hair… hair.. It grows back… Really hair does grow back.
It’s not about the haircut it’s the principle of if.
I think Willow’s new hairstyle is cute on her ‘BUT’ she is ONLY NINE YEARS OLD PEOPLE! A ‘NINE YEAR OLD’ should ‘NOT’ be ‘ALLOWED’ to make that DRASTIC of a DECISION. Maybe they should have waited until she was AT LEAST 12 or 13. It’s OKAY to let a CHILD ‘EXPRESS’ themselves ‘BUT’ their should be ‘BOUNDERIES’ also. A CHILD can express themselves is many ways that’s not PHYSICAL or something they may REGRET in a few months or so. Even though it’s just hair and it will grow back that still doesn’t make it right. If I was allowed to express myself as a child I probably would be running crazy right now BUT I’m not because I had rules/bounderies that I knew not to cross as a child and I have graduated from high school, I have NO kids, I have kept myself and my body which I commend myself on because I saw a lot of my peers whose parents allowed them to ‘EXPRESS’ themselves a little too much and they all have kids and they think they can’t go to college. I’m in College persuing my dream while they are changing diapers because they where allowed to ‘Express’ themselves as kids and teens. I AM NOT SAYING THAT WILLOW OR KIDS WHO ARE ALLOWED TO ‘EXPRESS’ THEMSELVES A LITTLE TO MUCH FOR MY TASTE WILL TURN OUT HORRIBLE. I’m simply saying they should be ‘GUIDED’ as a child so they can grow into MATURE and Rational adults. A CHILD NEEDS GUIDANCE AND A SENSE OF DIRECTION. I just can’t see how people think this is OKAY but when a teen wears a dress 1/2 inch above the knee everyone is like Oh she thinks she grown or she’s trying to grow up to fast but they think its okay for a NINE YEAR OLD to SHAVE her head…I JUST DONT GET THAT!!
Why is what this child does or any other child unless it’s yours matters so much. She’s a kid, leave her alone. And please don’t look down on people because your saving yourself and is in college because I pretty sure if those girl from your High school that in your opinion could freely express themselves wanted to go to college they would. Kids never stop a person from achieving their goals the person stops themselves. And take this from the chick that had very strict parents and had a baby in high school, which still managed to graduate high school on time and receive my master’s degree without missing a semester or missing out on diaper changes. So please don’t look down on people Baby girl.
You said it right “SHE’S IS A KID”.For the record I don’t look down on those kind of girls. I actually try to help them and it just breaks my heart to see them have to give up most of ther lives for there child’s sake. Maybe if there parents would have said NO more often and not just said “Oh they are just expressing themselves” or “I want my child to have more freedom than I did” then I don’t think most of them would have babies in high school. I don’t think it’s all about the hair I think it’s about saying NO sometimes and thats OK. It’s not healthy for a Child to be told YES all the time. You asked why does she matter because I care about people and I care about this next generation that is coming up. If we keep going at this rate the world will be a very CRAZY place in a few years. I just don’t see why you think its OK for a child to SHAVE not just CUT but SHAVE her head. It’s just wrong on so many levels I can’t even explain. You also said that girls with babies out of high school can still go to college and I agree BUT most of them think they can’t because college doesn’t pay there bills at the time and they feel like they need the money NOW and there babies need food and clothes NOW and they feel like they can’t go to college and have a job at the same time to pay their bills. I also think that its wonderful that you made it but so many others didn’t. With that being said please don’t call me Baby Girl that is my biggest pet peeve ugh I hate when people call someone Baby Girl or Boo Boo…that is so I hate to say it but GHETTO. L8ter.
Why does a child need a stylist? I know she’s been in a movie or two but it seems like the focus is on the wrong thing. At the end of the day it’s Will and Jada’s kid so if they approve of it that’s all that matters.
My childhood stylist’s name was Corrine and she gave us a press-n-curl every two weeks.
WHy should we envy someone not having a chance to be a child?
Exactly!
Huh?!
I read an article from this young lady once talking about where she came from and found out she was Guyanese…I was upset when I heard her talk about Guyana she is a little older than me and I’ve never experienced what she was talking about in the article never even heard such from my own mother… I’m proud of her eh but I was cussin up when i read the article
Lil’Willow is an adult in every other respect although still a child to her parents. She works and earns money we can only dream to have in our bank account one day. That kind of responsibility (learning lines, working etc) brings with it a fast track in the childs growth and development. She makes her own decisions but still seeks mommies approval (which reading from this Jada approved).
So who are we to even question what’s going on in the Smith house?
PS: Well done Jada for fostering independence and maturity in your kids at such a young age. One needs confidence to pull off that kind of hair cut and seemingly thats not something this little lady is short of. Praise be to the parents for that.
And all the other couch or should I say cyber parents, should just step off and let the real mother and father of this child do the raising.
No, Willow is not an adult ( because she makes money ). She is still a child in stature, age and mind.
The haircut was a bit much. She is way too young to have a haircut like this one. Why are we consistently pushing our children to grow up faster than they should? I want my child to be a child as long as she can be! Along with this mature cut will come mature clothes and then a mature mouth, etc. We constantly ask ourselves why our children do this or that and why they are out doing things they should not be: I believe this is one of the reasons why. We mask acts like this by stating we are promoting imagination and thought. When what we are really promoting is a child maturing sooner than they should. If you want to promote imagination, take them to the museum, encourage them and guide them in music and other ambitions.
Why are we concerned about this child, you ask? It is because she is in the public eye and our children see this child and want to emulate her behavior. I am not having it!
Children need to be children while they are children, act like they are children when they are children, dress like they are children when they are children, and stay in a child’s place while they are children. Period.
EXACTLY…I just don’t get the people on this site. They don’t condone teens wearing make-up but they condone a child shaving her head. That doesn’t make any sense to me!
Isn’t she the girl from split ends tv shot?!! She went to houston & she is from bel aire.
Why does the stylist look like Willow?
And, why should want our little girls to move towards wanting/desiring/needing stylists?
I know right. The stylist resembles Willow heavily. I agree with your last comment as well.
@ Lilian if you read the article you would of realized that it stated in a sentence”The look is fun,empowering, ANTI-RELAXER AND ANTI-WEAVE.SO RE-READ IT AND YOU WILL SEE THAT SHE WASN’T WEARING A WEAVE!!!!
TO THE PUBLIC, REGARDLESS WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT IT IS NOT OUR CHILD,SO THE NEGATIVITY SHOULD BE KEPT TO YOURSELVES.IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY THAN DON’T COMMENT ON IT…..I FEEL THAT SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL AND ONE DAY SHE WILL READ THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAY AND IT WILL NOT BE A NICE THING FOR THIS CHILD TO SEE HOW HER OWN KIND ARE GIVING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ABOUT HER…..I FEEL IT’S JUST JEALOUSY AND JADA AND WILL ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB…GOD BLESS THEM BOTH FOR RAISING AMAZING CHILDREN…….
THANK YOU MINA!
um … I think that Lillian was referring to Willows braids as weave. And if Willow is grown and edgy enough for the hairstyle I really don’t think that a few comments disagreeing with it will so do her harm.
I suppose I’m the only one to find all this wrong. A nine years old child shouldn’t be oriented towards stylist, nor be so taken from her aspect. She is very beautiful, but can’t they wait her to be at least 13-14 years?
i hated willow’s weave…
I love this quote:
“Can’t our little girls move into the future without ruffling feathers? The look is fun, empowering, anti-relaxer and anti-weave. More women need to steer their little girls in this direction. If your child is a forward-thinker, you should guide her instead of smothering her.”
she is amazing!!! an pepl always want dey hairstylist to have dey hair look rite or colorful….i luv her hair tu by da way
wow! never heard of her before. but i think she did a gReaat job on WiLLows hAir! and i truLy believe that parents shouLd start encouraging and guiding their children in their decisions instead of putting them down n whatnot! iTs actuaLLy better than puTTing aLL theSe weaVes in our lil “sisTahs” hAir. NaTuraL is the way 2 go. Thats how God made us! =)
