Beyoncé has given fans a rare glimpse into her family life, revealing that Jay-Z’s now-famous hair transformation was inspired by a deeply personal effort to help their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, embrace her natural hair.
In a diary-style video documenting the six-day process of combing out the rapper’s eight-year-old locs, the singer explained that the decision to grow his hair was never merely a fashion statement.
Reflecting on Blue Ivy’s childhood, Beyoncé said her daughter struggled with confidence about her hair when she was younger.
“Our daughter was about five, and she wasn’t feeling very confident about her hair at that time,” Beyoncé said. “When she told her father that, it inspired Jay to grow out his hair.”
