I can see the comments now “here we go again”, ‘she should just rock her natural hair”, “that mess aint real so it doesn’t count“. A couple days ago we had a post on Brandy’s new natural look, and we wanted opinions on it and lets just say ‘yall went in. Some comments supported the look, calling Brandy beautiful and young, and some were not so nice throwing shade less on the style itself but more on the fact that the natural look was a wig.
I was kind of surprised because I honestly thought most people would like her hair and it looked cute to me. But it was an opinion post and there are bound to be some that do not like something and others that do, much like this one, so here we go again!
This week on Instagram Beyonce has been doing her usual selfies and stuff celebrating an anniversary with new hair. Her weave was a natural texture with kinks and curls, a variety of textures and her usual blonde color. While I liked the look, it kind of got me thinking, are you offended when someone with natural hair rocks a natural weave?
Yonce’s new pictures have lit the blogs on fire, with writers and commenters calling her look cute, and that she can wear anything and make it look great. There are even posts teaching us to “get the look, we can show you how to get Beyonce’s natural curls”.
Here’s the thing about a woman wearing a natural weave, if she looks great wearing it then I say have at it but some of us will be inclined to call foul because if its natural hair you MUST rock it coming out of your scalp for it to be praise worthy.
We like to think that like straight hair, kinky* curly hair can be considered a style as well. It can be replicated in the form of weaves, and wigs* for us to all enjoy regardless of what is growing from the scalp. With that said here are 3 reasons a woman might choose to wear a natural wig* or weave
1. You are transitioning – Some women just want to get used to the look of natural hair, so they try it out in the form or a weave or wig*.
2. Natural hair is cool – Yes, natural hair can be considered trendy especially in the last few years. Remember that song by Mike Jones ” back then you didn’t want me, now I’m hot you all on me”, that’s kind of what natural hair feels like now 🙂
3. Natural hair is an acceptable option – Straight hair can get boring, but because natural hair is more acceptable in most circles, most being the operative word, a woman wont feel uncomfortable trying out something a little different.
By the way the only thing that might be a little offensive is when media tries to get the public to ‘get the look’ by advertising outrageously priced products promising that your hair will look like ‘that hair’ when we all know there are no guarantees.
In closing what’s the verdict on Queen Bey’s new do?
Natalie Yvette says
Don’t like it!
Yasmin Rashid says
Awwww man smh she starting to look like solange
Dante' Nicole Miller says
Solange’s afro looks cuter with her afro.
Divva Ross-Burke says
I always did consider Solange a unique person and not a trend follower. When Solange was wearing her box braids Beyonce shortly after started to wear them. I don’t believe Beyonce is a person with a good style sense like her sister.Her sister seems more confident with who she is than B…In my opinion of course. Solange can pull anything together, she is a diverse person and thats the reason why she is starting to get noticed for her sense of fashion. Solange is also direct and write a lot of Beyonce’s music/music videos. Solange doesn’t get enough credit.
Neya Neenee Nelson says
Love love love it
Patrice La'tese Johnson says
It’s ok, not my favorite tho.
Assata Knox says
I’d like it more if it were more defined; it’s cute, though.
Tinka Pandapack says
Looks a little bit to stringy.
Britni Bonner-Wilson says
She is rocking a solange type look.
Nancy says
My point exactly!
HisDestiny Forevvr says
i agreeeee
Tyree Marcell says
I love it
Stoney Kush Baker says
She Ain’t drowned yet.
JordanMercedes Brown-Wright says
Nice to see her looking a bit more natural x
Merce Lago says
I think its a wig.. not extensions but its still cute.
Elizabeth Johnson says
Natural hair is not a fad, it’s a lifestyle that black women are finally embracing.
Timilehin Adunni says
So it is okay to wear a wig that it’nt similar to your hair texture, but it is NOT okay to wear a natural wig? …Wow..black females…….Confusion at its best.
Tina Marie says
EXACTLY!!!! if this was her real hair everyone would love it but since its a wig or weave they dnt like it..im totally confuesed smh..
Tamika Rogers says
It’s very hard to go natural in a profession such as hers!
Mel Brady says
So damn right you are!! 🙂
Jamjamj Davis says
That’s not realistic for ppl like her who do photoshoots, etc non stop. The stress on one’s hair when required to have different hairstyles and looks would be extremely damaging. IMO, wigs and weaves when you’re in her line of work make perfect sense.
Sigrid Coulthurst says
I liked the bob on her.
LeYonna McDonald says
No,,,not all natural looks are cute
Love Starr says
I like the hair.. Hate the outfit
Dante' Nicole Miller says
No……..I don’t like it…not because it’s a weave her sister Solange use to wear natural weaves and they were beautiful. It’s because of that outfit…that dye choice and how she shaped it…If she wants to go natural she can represent by doing what her sister did and shave her head and go on being natural.
Robert Lee says
LOOKING GOOD!
Charlotte Lovingme Jackson says
So it’s ok to wear a weave, excuse me I meant (protective hair styles) as long as you’re not a celebrity such as Beyonce. Some of you ladies often sound like natural haters..
Dazmyn Latchison says
Somewhat looks like her sister style
Jai Ruggs says
soo why flat iron your hair…
just get a relaxer ?
Tami Landfair-Jackson says
Shavon I get what you’re saying, some people just want instant gratification while they’re in the process of growing their hair out or just to have options
Diana White says
No comment.
Talisia KillaSway Jones says
Solange can’t have ish. B even took her style.
Shawnetta Jones says
Its quite interesting how much she looks like a several years ago Solange. The time when Solange was recieving a ton of flack for this look. Talk about hypocritical media. When Solange did it this was frowned on but now Bey is so fashion forward. GTFOH.
Vaketha Love says
I don’t like it. Too much.
Shawnetta Jones says
Oh and now she’s bow legged? lmao. Trying too hard to be “un” put together.
Tamika Rogers says
I really hate the hate in most people. If she wants to wear a natural hair wig than that’s her right. Why are we so damn judgmental about the wrong things. Yes it’s ok to wear a natural hair wig or a wig or a weave or just be natural. Must we turn everything into a debate that farther separates our community!
Mel Brady says
Exactly Tamika!! Smh!!!
Tamisha Rantila says
She needs to do something with her child’s hair now.
Mel Brady says
Why don’t you mind your own business, what Bey does with her child’s hair is NOT your concern!! #getyourownlife
Tamisha Rantila says
No it wouldn’t be my concern if she taking pictures of Chewbacca andI have to look at it
Tamisha Rantila says
Mel Brady you’re dismissed.
Lozette Clemons says
That isn’t bowlegged that’s pigeon toed. Oan I like the hair nothing wrong with changing up your style but I hate the jacket.if it was the pants with a blue top I would like the outfit.
Kelly Hall says
She looks good, as always. Beautiful woman.
Chavon C Genous says
I love her hair…. She should stick to more natural textured hair more often.
Daiquiri A. Holland says
She looks much better this way.
Shani Aisha Garland says
I think it looks very pretty. Beyonce is beautiful <3.
Rochelle Corilette Liyah Warner says
This weave is cute.
I wonder how damaged her hair is after wearing weaves for so long!
Georgia Sofia Tayler says
No likey
Forbesy Febz Mibo says
Faith Gooden Colwell says
This look isn’t new for B. She’s worn big hair for awhile. Media is just starting drama over nothing
Crystal Flower Child says
I like it and her to
Marie Attiko says
She had this style before.
Chisa Chanel says
wasn’t it like this in the “Naughty Girl”” video?
Divva Ross-Burke says
She usually wear her hair curly like this when she is out and about. If you see pictures of her in stores and etc. that these forums post she have braids in and afro textured wigs on.
Ronnie Danger says
Solange does it better AND naturally….sawry B.
Nancy says
Why is this the off duty look? Why does she attempt her sister’s hair & style looks? Be original. Anyway, she bores me.
Vincinenia Hardee-Burgess says
She’s BEAUTIFUL. I love this look on her compared to that short look.
Etherial Spirit says
You sure that’s a new picture? She looks hella young and I.haven’t seen her look that fresh in years
Carrie Laura-Lee Howe says
Looks the same as always to me… Just a little more kink! I love it!
Corenna Khieu says
I like it!!
Monique Wilson says
I think this is her hair…. shes always.been blonde but if you go to her tumblr you can see pica of her natural hair and it looks.just like this just kinda shorter….. and to the comments about her kids hair….. i personally find it refreshing that a little black girls hair isnt snatched within inches of it lifes in tight braids or ponytails….. . And maybe i would complain too if i knew some 2 year old will have a.head of hair and more than likely never have to wear a weave let alone be asking for baggies of edges…… you can clearly see she has curly hair that is pretty long.for being 2 ….. and if she was to ‘comb’ her hair it would look crazy and frizzy….. if some of you women would actually do this to your sons or daughters hair you would know… personally my son is 19months and i have yet to comb his hair….. all he needs is some coconut oil and he has perfect ringlets ringlets of curls and his edges are straight……
Vicki Steverson says
How is this her hair, when a couple months ago, she showed her real short hair
Vicki Steverson says
Btw when my daughter was 2, her hair was longer than Blue hair is, combed it daily, now it hits her butt @ 12, I keep it cut at that length.
Kimberley Allovadatgreen Davidson says
Her hair looks kute I think it would look better thinned a little however lil Ivy Blu needs a stylist fr I mean can we just see 1 ponytail with a kute bow or blingdout headcomb geesh!
Mel Brady says
Leave the child alone, why do us black women always have to say something about the child’s hair?! That poor baby’s been picked on ever since Bey fell pregnant with her. Mind your own business and focus on your life!!! Smh!!!
Tammie Faulkner Taylor says
I would think her hair is healthier because she wears wigs and weave. That’s the case most of the time. Seems like she would have no issues affording properly installed wigs and weaves. Of course the women getting too tight braids and that use glue experience damage, but Nicki Minaj and Blac Chyna wear wigs regularly and have healthy, long, real hair for that reason.
Vicki Steverson says
I have healthy long hair, I never wear weaves, braids or any fake protective style. I change my style often.
Phrederica Holloway-Jordan says
It looks like something she had years ago. It was horrible then and it looks horrible now.
Jasmina Kuhnke says
Woah, I always thought it is her real hair. Anyway, she’s beautiful whatever she wears!

Nadea Payton-Webber says
Hmmm looks strangely similar to her sister Solange style…. :- But “Beyonce is so original”?
Sue-Ellen Joseph says
she looks like crap. is she trying to look like her sis. not working for me
Myrah McNeil says
Might be taking a break from that lye to make a Blue number two
Nikki Hudson says
I don’t care for this particular look; it looks too “carefree”, and not in a good way . And for the people who act like Solange “invented” or “brought natural back”, please….Her hair often looks great, but she also wears wigs. She bc’d then a few months later she had a huge fro. Come on.
Teresa Jessie says
No.
Caramel Kimmie says

Victoria Gardner says
The hair cute but that outfit is hideous
Ashley Lawton says
O that’s weave she just have short hair two months ago but it is cute. But I’m sure some ppl won’t like it. Some ppl are only obsessed with straight hair
Samantha Edith McCone says

Chandradaughterof Janettegranddaughter Ofjames says
Why would I care and for that matter why would you.
Khalilah Walton says
The reality is that all that matters is how she feels about her hair. But since you asked, I like a more sleek, controlled look
Devera Smith Robinson says
Forget the hair, what’s up with that outfit ?!?
Joyce Ryals says

Akeyla Monae says
The saltiness and jealousy on this post is most definitely real, wow.
MS Bowers says
She is giving me Solange
Jamila Kelly says
I don’t like it :< I mean, it's pretty..but she used to be so freaking glam, now she's trying to do the natural boho kinda thing and I just wish she'd go back to super glam.
We get it.
Tracey Jackson says
Hair & outfit look messy/tacky.
HisDestiny Forevvr says
its cute but what makes hair that texture natural for her?? Its a kinky texture—or coiled–but not necessarily natural–depending on who is wearing it…
HisDestiny Forevvr says
sure this look will inspire many more curly perms like it did the last time blacks rocked natural curls–lol
Dawanna GlorytoGod Allen says
Both comments are understood… Bey gets a pass, but should perhaps take notes from her sister if the interest is really there. 🙂
Rhea Kelly-Evans says
Solange nails it every time.
Keisha Loving MyLife says
She just can’t let her sister be in the spotlight for something she’s known for by herself. Stop stealing the spotlight, she ain’t even natural….
I.c. Watkins says
That looks like Solange’s style!
Mary Welch says
This looks so bad, shaggy.
Chanelle-Lize Antoinette Marshall says
I think she looks gorgeous! But it does make me uncomfortable when celebrities wear “natural” wigs and weaves. I feel that it trivializes and “trend-ifies” being natural. I don’t want people to look at me and think that my natural hair texture is “in right now”. :/
See Jay says
she’s been natural before
See Jay says
even solange wears weave! I would wear too if someone was in my hair all the time. All that high manipulation causes some SERIOUS BREAKAGE
Dawn Mitchell says
No!
Yanna-Sweetiepie Griffin says
Lol better than the usual bright blonde bone straight weave … She is of African American , French & native american decent … So her natural hair is naturally curly & thick , this may not b her natural hair but it’s closer than wat she usually wears .. jus sayin
Brenda Wilkins says
You look a me
Brenda Wilkins says
Not pretty at all be yourself
Jenny JackJack says
It’s a wig…..
Tonya Robinson says
i dnt like it
Stephanie Escarmant says
Damn every move she makes is under a microscope.
Kelli Guillory says
I thought it was Solange. It’s cute. Thumbs up
Princess Kuevor says
Why does she look so possessed? I can’t stand her seriously….
Mel Brady says
Why do you care!!!!
Sonya Rice says
The devil changed its hair .
Mel Brady says
WATCH YOUR TONGUE!!! #thoushallnotjudge
Tiffany Murphy says
No thank you B, you can do better with all that money and all the expensive weave you run into….
Rasheeda Bush says
Idk if its the outfit or the hair but Bey looks Cray Cray
PurplenPurrtee Howard says
I just think it’s unfortunate she did that BIG CHOP last year & so many people hated it SO VEHEMENTLY that she IMMEDIATELY ran back to weaves & wigs. She just wants to be herself, relax a little & can’t because of so much flack from the media, so-called fans, & the haters.
Ashanti Mookie Humphrey says
Nah!
Courtney Stray says
She cut her hair into a short bob, not long ago, so that wet dog look on the awards show was her real hair!!! This look is a fake natural wig!!! Stop it b, ijs, l’oreal didn’t like it when she cut it either, by the time commercials aired she had a full weave, it’s about money, she’s just playing around with the natural look.
Courtney Stray says
If the hair was fake and straight she would have exuded more confidence in that photo, she looked a bit unsure of her look from her expression.
Tanyell Cavanaugh says
People always hating how she steal a style from her sister when she was in the spotlight first #Getyolife #HATERZGONEHATE
Joycelyn Lanae says
This comment is stupid. Just because someone is in the media first doesn’t mean that they can’t steal someone’s style. For Example Rihanna’s SHH tattoo shortly after rihanna got it Lidnsey Lohan got the same tattoo in the same location, but with your logic Lidnsey didn’t steal it because she was famous first -__-. Think before you type please.
Tanyell Cavanaugh says
BEAUTIFUL BEY KEEP DOING YO THANG GIRL FORGET YOU HATERZ!!!!!!!!!!
Idella Moore says
I don’t like it
Idella Moore says
Because they hair short lol
Kimberley Allovadatgreen Davidson says
Wantn to see the child’s hair styled is not negative or judging. Nothing wrong with wantn to see her with another look.
Unique Burke says
Why don’t she ever show her real hair? ??? Jeez
Unique Burke says
Matter of fact she did show her real hair..the public gave a negative response so she ran back to the weave..u dont know bey at all like none of us do but she’s a virgo..they can be insecure at times
Saundra Robinson says
1980’s look, give me a break! I think of Flash Dance
Kristen L. Myles-Bacon says
I think Solange did it better.
Portia Motsage says
Solange rocks her natural style and is confident about it! This is not Beyonce style, u can see she isnt confident. We must all stay true to ourselves weather people like it or not. No one can do me better than me!!
Laddii Red Borders says
A mess
Cam'el Giftedhands Jones says
Yuck. Lol
Princess Kuevor says
Mel Brady: The real question is why do YOU care? I don’t like her for different reasons and I don’t need to explain those reasons to you. Who are you? The beyonce police?
Hanna Marie says
People are never happy. When black gets straigh weave, than you hear nothing bout “idky black women dont wear weave that look like their hair” Now when you have a black woman doing it, its still a problem because its not hers? STFU -___-
Nothin Less Than Fab says
She has no damn identity ! Yes! She is copying her sisters style! Whom is styled by June Ambrosia …. Who also styles her husband ! So she following along ! Her partition video is all Ciara’s Love Sex Magic video ! And the idea to release a secret album on iTunes was already done by David Bowie! This new image she screaming all her husbands doing which is street and edgy which also screams Rihanna ! So she’s mundane, not a trailblazer , minimal talent with all the predictable lingerie wearing drop ya ass stripper dancing she does, and all that yodeling and all that ghetto buffoonery she’s now singing about . She lacks any formal education to market her self which is left up to her team and husbands business savvy , almost genius ability like Sean Coombs ! You people buy her bs because Of the younger demographic keeping her relevant and their lack of deciphering quality music ! She’s corny and country ! What the hell she know about urban chic
Melody Ross-Davis says
Not
Ty Butler says
Not,I like her new do in that video drunk in love better..
Sharon Williams-Lester says
Nothin less than fab sounds like a true hater… Wow! She is getting hers don’t hate…
Timilehin Adunni says
Seems everyone up in here owns a PhD in Psychology,; talking bout”you can see she is insecure “…..boo all I see is her smiling….
Keesha Lewis says
I like it , I love her versatility!!
Britnee says
She’s had her hair like this before. Calm down.
Briana Thomas says
i agree having stylist do their hair alot for concerts or photo shoots uses alot of heat and harsh chemicals that’s why Beyonce use wigs. So they wont harm her hair
Tanyell Lynch says
Actually its not stupid Bey was in the spotlight first then her sister came out soooo and I am thinking just sick and tired of everybody downplaying Beyonce and y yu responding to my post there are 970 other post yu could’ve responded to and I don’t change my opinion at all Beyonce was out first and her sister copied her but who still in the spotlight and who ain’t and Rihanna and Lindsey Lohan are irrelevant to this whole topic
