Janet Jackson Debuts a New Short Haircut

New man. New 'do.

Well, that appears to be the case for Janet Jackson.

Yesterday, Jackson was spotted outside of the Nobu Berkeley restaurant in London yesterday with her latest flame, Qatari businessman, Wissam Al Mana, sporting a new short haircut.

The 44-year-old singer-actress has traded in her famous long and luxurious locks for a slick, cropped 'do. And we must admit that we're loving it!

Paired with a form-fitting leather jacket, boyfriend jeans, platform wedge boots, and dark sunglasses, Jackson's newly shorn strands give the baby-faced celebrity a bad girl appeal.

What do you think of Ms. Jackson's new short 'do? Do you prefer the "Why Did I Get Married Too" star with long or short hair?

Leave a comment below and click here to see which 36-year-old trendsetter has returned to her hair roots with the signature Pob!

I think it has been short for years. It makes it easier when wearing a wig, less trouble and much cooler.

It's a very severe look. She's a beautiful lady but this look does nothing for her. If it was short and processed it would look better. Most women need some fringe around their face no matter how attractive they are.

I cannot belive someone would actually try and convince us that she looks good like that. She looks like Dion Warwick. Her hair is way to thin to be worn like that. Someone needs to do an intervention.

I kinda think she's letting her real hair 'breathe' after cutting out weave. Weaves are heavy and can damage hair. She'll sport something new soon -- she's a beautiful girl, and even though she looks good no matter what style she wears, I really like her with the longer locks. She's so very pretty -- she will work it out, no matter what she chooses.

Janet is a beautiful woman, no matter how she wears her doo. They probably have been short all the time but with the application of "weave" and the glamor photos we most often see, it has always been the long luxurious locks that have caught our attention. Personally, I like it long, it seems to frame her face well and give her and her beautiful smile added appeal. It also gives character to her appeal if she has put on a few pounds, because the focus is directed to her hair. if she is going to sport it shorter, then she must watch her weight and this seems to have been a problem for Janet.
