Motamma's platinum blonde mane becomes a hit

Former Big Brother Africa Botswana housemate, Motamma Sesinyi, has become the latest local celebrity to hop on the platinum blonde bandwagon, perhaps in the spirit of summer’s solstice; and this may just be one of her best looks.

Over the past couple of months, local celebs have been going through notable hair transformations. From the gorgeous Mercy Thebe’s blonde bob and Masi Sithole’s platinum short bob, it seems sporting hair in a lighter shade is very much in vogue. However, it is key to establish whether the look suits you because to be frank, going blonde or platinum isn’t always easy.

The 29-year-old Sesinyi recently took to social media to debut a striking platinum blonde mane, a transformation that is a conspicuous and a life-size difference to the natural afro that has been a central feature to her signature style. The mother to baby Glitter posted a picture of the new do on Facebook with a selfie captioned, “New hair se alert. Filter put on hold for now.

My kind of simplicity. Humility is bravery; do you ever see the power still waters command?” This post was much to the delight of her followers who showered her with praise and approval.  “Wow! I’m in love with the new style my darling,” commented one Facebook user. Another one sounded off writing, “Born beautiful, ever beautiful. It does not matter what you do to your hair, the beauty never fades off.”

The former Big Brother Africa housemate is without a doubt a risk taker; she is never afraid to step out of the box. We can confidently put a stamp of approval on this transformation because she is indeed an electric bombshell blonde and has upped her hair ‘slayage’, and it works!PLATINUM HAIR: THE NEW RAGEPlatinum blonde hair has been all the rage this season from the international fashion scene to our local shores.
