Sibongile continued in her caption:

"I read that hair holds energy and is an extension of our mind holding our thoughts, emotions, stress, hopes, and fears. I'm ready to feel free again. I'm in need of an emotional release. So these locs had to go! I felt relieved after I did the chop. So here’s to a new start!"

Even though Sibongile got rid of her tresses and went completely bald, her beauty remained.
