Jill Scott On the Stage with Natural Hair

After a few years of wearing of a relaxer, soul songstress Jill Scott is sporting natural hair again.

She performed at a concert in London with her natural hair styled in a chic TWA.

I ain't mad at Jilly from Philly, just like I wasn't mad at her for wearing a relaxer (though I'm glad she made the decision to become natural again). We all have to do what works for us and our lifestyles.

Scott is known for drastically changing up her styles -- from braided extensions, shaved off hair, to even wigs for movie roles.

Scott proudly wore her natural hair at a time when it was not as nearly as popular as it is now. And so she was our natural hair "icon" -- before there was a Miss Jessie, Kinky Curly and dozens of curly hair care products lining drug store shelves, natural hair blogs, or natural hair YouTube stars.

But it's HER hair, not ours.

She told Afrobella last year that she wasn't trying to be the "spokesperson for natural hair" -- though many of her fans saw her as much. If wearing a relaxer is what she wanted to do at the time, who am I to say I don't approve? That's the one great thing about our hair. We can perm it one day, shave it off and wear it natural the next day. Our hair is that versatile.

One thing I do know: Jill is beautiful inside and out with a chic, short hairstyle or wearing her natural curls.

What do you think about Jill's natural hairstyle?
