Gabrielle Union Shows Off Her Big Chop on Instagram

Gabrielle Union has a gorgeous new 'do!

The actress shared her new short hairstyle in an Instagram post, where she also opened up about her big chop experience. The photos show Union beaming as she shows off her newly short natural curls. Union wears a ruched black dress with white polka dots in the photos, accessorized with gold hoops and chain necklaces, a cat eye, and a vibrant red lip.

The 48-year-old opened up about her big chop in the caption, sharing that the change wasn't prompted by anything negative. "The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new," she wrote.

Union finished off the caption with a reference to her natural hair experience, "#SummerChop #FlawlessChop."

Union's post is the latest of her versatile hairstyles that she shares on social media, including huge ponytails, long braids, and casual up-dos. Union opened up to BAZAAR.com last year about her hair evolution amid the relaunch of her haircare line, Flawless by Gabrielle Union. She shared that the new formulations of her products were influenced by what she used to regrow her hair after she experienced hair loss due to IVF treatments.

"I would break down every time a new bald spot would open up. We tried every home remedy we could find. So that's where we discovered bacuri butters, raw creatine, biotin, rice oil complex, rice water, aloe, and all of these things that actually grew my hair back. We kept a log of the last two years of my hair growth and of what was working, what didn't work. " she said.
