Joy Reid, a prominent black conservative journalist known for her distinctive bleach-blond combover hairstyle, has often been compared to former US President Donald Trump due to their similar haircuts. Recently, in response to ongoing comparisons and criticisms, Reid took a bold step by shaving her head and dyeing it blonde. This transformation was publicly unveiled on her MSNBC program “The ReidOut,” where she humorously referred to it as embracing a “hair-free summer.”

The decision to change her hairstyle garnered mixed reactions online. Some commentators mocked her previous hairstyle, while others questioned the sudden and dramatic change. Despite the criticisms, Reid’s move demonstrated her willingness to redefine her public image and assert her individuality in the face of ongoing comparisons to Trump’s iconic hairstyle.
