Dash Lopez

Dash Lopez is an Afro-Latina content creator, model, actress, and host of the Gotta Dash podcast, empowering bald women through her viral series Fresh Cut Fridays, which has reached over 71 million viewers. Growing up in a Puerto Rican and Dominican household where she was praised for having “good hair,” Dash took control of her identity at 18 with a “big chop,” later shaving her head completely despite community resistance. A veteran in the beauty industry for over a decade, she transitioned from makeup artistry to modeling before focusing on content creation and advocacy. Through radical acceptance and her platform of over 90,000 followers, Dash redefines beauty standards, reminding others that hair doesn’t make you less beautiful or less of a woman, and encouraging women to own their narrative and embrace their truth.
