South African popular actress and YouTuber Stephanie Ndlovu recently made headlines on social media as many netizens raved about her new glow following her divorce from Hungani Ndlovu.
On Saturday, 13 September 2025, the star who sparked dating rumours with her best friend Patronella in June this year shared a video on her TikTok page, announcing that she was changing her hairstyle just in time for the summer season.
Stephanie went to the salon to cut her hair and rock a sleek short hairdo. She captioned it:
"Ever felt like your hair is heavier than it should be because life is doing what life often does! So I headed to @Carlton Hair Rosebank and asked them to do a really short cut. I’m so happy with the end result 🥰. Feeling lighter & ready for this new season of newness."

Netizens complimented Stephanie Ndlovu's new hairdo
Shortly after the actress revealed on social media that she had a new hairdo done, many netizens couldn't help but compliment Ndlovu's gorgeous latest hairstyle in the comment section. Here's what they had to say below:
hlonieratshiedana09 said:
"I totally get this. I also had dreadlocks and felt a huge sense of lightness and freedom after cutting them."
Abstix77 wrote:
"You look so beautiful, I can relate to your story, though I have a lot going on, and hair is the last thing to worry about, but I just plaited. ur so brave for doing the chop, but I think if I had curly hair, I would probably do the same, but I don't."
Lucille commented:
"Love this for you, dear Steph, end result is absolutely beautiful!"
Jasmine responded:
"I’ve been feeling this way too (similar path to yours girrrl), but I don’t have the guts to cut it all off😢. Plus, my head shape doesn’t allow."
ekabornh9a2 replied:
"Yoh, I thought U wanted chiskop. You know, when I felt like I've reached a point where I was overwhelmed, I just cut chiskop...and the relief...huuu everything was just driving me crazy, but now it's richer and thicker."
Neo Rams mentioned:
"Ahhh Steph, I thought you’d be chopping chopping. You look good."
Briefly News writer Jessica Gcaba spoke with hairstylist and salon owner Vicky Eghan, who shed light on some of the reasons women choose to cut/shave their hair.
"Besides cutting hair being a preference thing, I have come across clients who open up to me about going through emotional or spiritual turmoil. For them, cutting off their hair means a weight has been lifted off their shoulders.
"One woman shared with me that she went through something traumatic, so letting go of her hair meant letting go of her past traumas."
