You ask, Sanaa Lathan bald?

And the answer is… Yes, she did that!

The “Big Chop” that is.

And she looks beautiful!

Known for passionate romantic dramas such as “The Best Man” and “Love & Basketball” actress Sanaa Lathan decides to dramatically commit to her next role.

Hopefully this shaved haircut will be inspiring to many black women out there on the edge of deciding to do the “big chop” as well.

She has been cast as the lead actress in the new Netflix Originals Movie “Nappily Ever After”.

The story developed from a book, with the same title, written by Trisha R. Thomas. The main character Violet Jones, played by Sanaa, has a pitch-perfect life until a hair salon visit forces her to have to shave her head and causes everything around her to fall apart. This unforeseen incident sparks new meaning to her life of surfaced shallow appearances.

Actress Sanaa Nathan bald head and dramatic hairstyle change is a professional act, but seems to become a personal journey as well.

While filming, Sanaa is personally experiencing the hair journey of “going natural” and how it feels to cut it all off.

How does she feel?

Well, in her words:

“It’s all off. I feel like it’s so light I could fly away.”

Whether she means that figuratively or literally, going through this hair length change, for many, is not just a physical act, but an emotional one as well.

The actress has been documenting her hair changes for the character on Instagram (@sanaalathan):
