Jay-Z’s Hair Journey
Jay-Z had been wearing locs for over eight years to boost his daughter Blue Ivy’s confidence. Beyoncé said that Jay-Z grew out his hair to show Blue that her hair was beautiful, just like his. The video showed footage of a young Blue Ivy with short and curly hair, smiling and posing in the “Formation” music video and other projects.
Beyoncé shared that when Blue Ivy was about five years old, she wasn’t feeling very confident about her hair. Jay-Z was inspired by his daughter’s concerns and decided to grow out his hair. Beyoncé said that no one predicted how long Jay-Z’s hair would grow, and she was obsessed with his locs. However, after eight years, Jay-Z decided to change his hairstyle to an afro, which Beyoncé said was a beautiful transformation.
