Oprah has gone natural. Is Michelle Obama far behind?

HURRAY for Oprah! I certainly hope she starts a TREND! :-)

I'd love to see some pics of O sans the hair band, though (often they make a sista look a tad too Aunt Jemima for my taste).

Oprah has some mighty thick hair for a woman her age. She's lucky. usually it starts to thin out (if she isn't wearing a nappy weave)

I've worn hair that texture before--many people presume it's mine.

But when I wear long silky weave, black men tend to be much more friendly to me, they'll see my hair and strike up a conversation just because it's long and straight.

With the kinkier textures, they don't seem to be as drawn to it.

The word "natural" can become an oxymoron - as in a natural weave, which is really an affectation. But who cares? Woman can do whatever they want with their hair.

And when folks ask: "is that your hair?" she can always come up with the old stand-by reply of; "yes, I paid for it."

Oprah says the headband, no makeup look is her before she gets "glammed up" for TV.

The blogesphere is rabid over whether her natural hair whether straightened or not is really a weave.

I predict that Michelle Obama will rock a "natural" hair style in Barack's second term.

All the money in the world can't help that terrible naked mug of hers. No wonder Stedman Graham decided to take a pass on marraige with her.

"All the money in the world can't help that terrible naked mug of hers. No wonder Stedman Graham decided to take a pass on marraige with her."

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! This is true. I was looking at her naked make up free face yesterday in the movie The Color Purple. Sorry folks, but the woman minus her weaves and make is homely. Don't be bitter, it's true......
