Willow Smith's Hair Inspired by Grandmother

Comments (74)

When singer Cassie first shaved her head a year ago, no one could have imagined the phenomenon the style would become. Countless celebrities have jumped on the shaved-head bandwagon, including young Willow Smith. But if you think Willow -- who is no stranger to eclectic style -- was inspired by the likes of Cassie, La La Vazquez or Melanie Brown, you're wrong. Jada Pinkett Smith hit up the 'George Lopez Show' recently and revealed the shocking inspiration behind her daughter's wild haircut – her grandmother!

The star of 'Hawthorne' told Lopez that Willow wanted her hair to look like her grandmother's. "I said, 'Willow, grandma has no hair. You've got to have some hair.' However, little Willow insisted that she was tired of her hair and wanted to be able to "get in the pool," and just swim. So after consulting with hubby Will Smith, the couple allowed their daughter to shave the sides of her head. Talk about freedom of expression!
