Angela Simmons is certainly a young mogul in the making, when she is not working on her business she will from time to time furnish her fans with some playful pictures of her hair. Today she took the time to give her stylist love on instagram by showing us very fabulous pics of her hair after a fresh flat iron*.
Typically Angela typically wears a weave and as you will see from one of the captions on her Instagram pictures. Even though we have seen many celeb posts of their natural hair in Instagram, Angela’s hair is one of the few that we can truly say looks amazing. She takes really great care of it under the weaves and we can definitely appreciate that.
This post is really about understanding the importance of maintaining your natural hair underneath your protective style. Many of us do protective styling which is great but some of us tend to leave our natural or relaxed hair alone for long periods of time which can be counter productive. The point of any protective style is the lack of manipulation so that you can retain length but here are three other things you should be doing too.
1. Trimming – We put this one first because there is a common misconception that your hair does not need a trim since your aren’t doing anything with it. If your hair is not damaged then by all means skip a trim or two but for overall maintenance if you want to keep your ends looking lovely and relatively even. If you notice any uneven, split or brittle ends just go ahead and get rid of them. You hair will be protected anyway so you won’t miss the length if you have to remove an inch or two.
2. Deep conditioning while protecting – Just because your hair is protected is no reason to skimp on deep conditioning* weekly. Wash and DC your hair with watered down products to avoid build up. Read this post for more information on caring for your hair under a weave.
3. 8 weeks max – Do not leave your weave style in longer than 8 weeks! When you have naturally kinky* hair it has a tendency to tangle mat easily so this goes for those who are relaxed too because your roots will always grow back in their natural texture. Leaving your weave in for longer than 8 weeks regardless of how often you wash or moisturize is just asking for trouble. If you leave your weave in too long you may find that you lose all your progress detangling matted hair which obviously defeats the purpose of protective styling.
she always had long hair tho and her sis
Her mother has very thick and long hair too….inherited long hair genes from her mother 🙂
Dat is not her real hair dey need to quit…its too slick
Plus extensions.
Right Krissy!!! Smdh
Haters lol
T minus 5 seconds before someone says it’s not her real hair, although she’s always had long hair!
Stop hatin people! I LOVE IT!!!
So we’re ignoring the two clearly different textures in the picture? I don’t trust anyone that feels the need to do some big planned “reveal” for their hair. We know black women grow long, beautiful, healthy hair. I really feel they’re just trying to get some notoriety because being natural is becoming increasingly popular.
a person can have different textures of hair in their head just like the back can grow faster or slower then other parts. look it up it true
I have different textures of hair. The top of my hair & top middle is less kinky/ curly and grows faster than the back of my hair which is alot kinkier. When i straighten my hair, the top is alot silkier and straighter than the bottom.
I have two different textures of hair as well. It would be very sad for a person to tell a lie that means nothing about something as small as hair…its not that serious.
I agree Janelle but no one will believe you because their brainwashed
I’m not seeing the 2 textures…maybe because I’m not looking that hard?
I saw a pic of her afro she has a lot of hair
I have two different hair textures as well…..
A lot of women that wear weaves and u part wigs have 2 diff textures. They usually are flat ironing or relaxing their leave out, so their leave out is usually straighter, finer and thinner. It’s pretty common. And even with women that don’t wear weaves, the front of their hair is usually straighter because we tend to pull hair away from the face, which puts more tension on the front.
Its not 2 different textures, the front looks different because its her leave-out and she most likely uses a lot of heat on it (thinning, split ends, etc) while the rest is protected (thicker, stronger and more uniform in length).
Lol she definitely has a few rows of tracks in the back.
Damn can a person have long hair with a good texture without saying fake
Apparently not. I have long hair with no perm. I’m always asked if its s weave. No. Just deep condition and coconut oil. You do know Black women only wear weaves? That’s what they think and say
ikr black women hair comes in all texture and lengths we r diverse but as long as u know 🙂
…Good texture?
its to slick, what do that mean they didnt say productless. when flat iron my 13 year old it looks just like that
Is it that serious… lol
People would be more receptive to her natural hair if they saw it before it was straightened.
People are so jealous. How do you know it’s not her hair? They have products to make your hair look shiny and slick.
Yes! A bunch of damn haters
My hair looks like that when straighten..
Im not a hater never have been but u slow dummys she is rich ass hell n can pay the best stylists to put her hair in…real hair is not slick like dat long hair runs in my family n I know the difference..Tonya Tonya Harris Slaymon & Gabrielle Pittman ..knw shit befre u judge
Real or not, looks soo good, healthy!!! Hair is $$$$, can cost $3-4 thousand, I cnt afford that, I buy good hair.. Looks great though.
For allvu haters it is her real hair have u seen her afro its so big poofy and healthy.that is her real hair stop hating
Mari Hall Karen Perkins-Hall natural is taking over
i honestly don’t care either way but there is a bit in the back that you can clearly see added 2 different textures . there are plenty of beautiful black women with long hair i have hair myself too but when you add a few pieces to make it look fuller i don’t see a problem just don’t lie about it. either way good for her!
Why does anyone care. I mean really. Is it that important to have long hair or natural hair . Or even care that it’s real. So the f what. Real or not she looks nice .
It looks healthy! Can not wait to have mine flat ironed this weekend, it’s been over 6 months. I’m so excited to see my progress.
I’m mad at those that comment, and can’t tell if it’s weave or not…That is clearly her real hair…it’s pretty.
Lol her hair. .. you can see the extension
I want to know who really started this war with long hair? I mean so what if it’s short, or long…you can be fly with any style. It annoys me.
All women of different races…prefer to have long hair at one point in time….Yet, after a woman gets older shorter hair is preferred because it makes some women look younger as they age…. notice a lot of older women wear shorter styles….my hair is longer right now…I need to update my picture, but I know I will rock a shorter style when I’m older. Long hair tells the world your young or try to pass as a younger lady as long as you can get away with it lol.
Quisha thanks. Girls refuse empower one other. That’s her hair. If you goggle her you’ll find plenty of pictures of her with “nappy” hair since flat ironed hair is too hard to believe.
I have natural hair that’s beautiful and a Nice texter any texture is good in my opinion I wear fake hair too sometimes hair is hair don’t matter what race you are hair shouldn’t define you as a person
is she bi racial.. cus black and bi racial are different ..just saying
Y’all haters for real, damn she just showing off her damn hair, ain’t nothing wrong with that. SMH
I mean why is every black woman celebrity showing off their natural hair off now all of a sudden?? What, they want a Scooby snack or something? A sticker? It’s just hair!
She’s always had long hair…love it!
Her hair looks great!!!
More lies.Angela does gave a good length to her hair but wear weaves.I can’t stand mfs that lie
#DecentWeaveStyle ~

Haters gon’ hate :/ . . .her hair is beautiful!
This hair issue with us is old and tired. Its like a gay person “coming out” . So tf what. Why is it a such a big deal that they have to tweet and instagram pics of thier natural hair? Big deal.
Lies
Love it
Y is it so hard to believe that’s her hair?? Black ppl can’t have long hair 2?? Wow
Fake
not hating but there are tracks in her hair. we no she has good hair from her mother, but there are additions in this.
Why can’t we all as Beautiful Black Women, give each praise and respect. Her hair is beautiful, thats all that needs to be said. To all the haters and their comments, we don’t need media to bash us. We are doing a great job ourselves. Ladies..’..stop please.
Amen
Thank you!
Lol @ these comments
Please retire the term “good hair”. It’s 2014. Just because it’s closer to the people that enslaved us, doesn’t make it “good”. It may be silkier, softer, fine, wavy, curly etc., but it’s not “good” hair for that reason.
Preach Sistah Tammie, preach.
I keep saying this. People don’t realize what they are saying when they say “good hair.” So every other type is bad if it’s not fine??
OK!!!! Crystal SoulLove Elder
Rev. Run’s ex-wife–the girls’ mom–has long hair, also. There is such a thing as genetics.
Come on now ladies …
And if you look at her instagram it shows a much clearer picture. Looks very real to me.
Here we go saying it’s not her hair and this and that. She has very thick natural hair. Google it! If we can’t be nice to each other, you think we deserve it from others?
Janel Gordon omg it’s soo long!
Looks good… but definitely some tracks in that… it ain’t hard to tell tho… sorry 🙁
Someone please explain to me what “GOOD” hair means…..
To SOME, the more it’s like White people’s hair/less like “regular” Black people’s hair, it’s “good” hair. They place value on hair texture, and the people that usually use that term place value of light eyes and light skin..smdh. For the rest of us , HEALTHY hair, regardless of texture, is “good” hair.
Well said Tammie…
Good hair stays home at night, doesnt cheat, has a good job, love its family, has no record! Bad hair rob and steal, shoot and kill and listen to lil Wayne while at the strip club with Juicy J and Draya! Lmaoooooooo got it Sabrina Savery!!!
The Real Person!
lol!
I love your response My siblings and I have naturally curly hair in we hate when someone ask what are we mixed with SMH I respond with West, South, East in North Africa lol
Quality hair healthy hair whether straight ,kinky curly, black blond red auburn what ever good means good
LMAO @ Kimberly!!!!!
Sure Angela Simmons tht is your natural hair with extensions
Ms. Simmons, Beautiful young woman God Bless her on this journey!
Well whatever, i think its pretty….i don’t care what kind of texture, i don’t care about the length, as long as a person is happy with whatever type of hair they have, as long as they wear it well….todays society is constantly changing with different fads and glam, and people have a tendency to fall for it and go out of their way to follow the latest trend….who cares about someones opinion of good or bad hair…just be happy you got hair and feel blessed with what you have and wear it the way you like….there are so many other important things to worry about other than hair….ugh #ijs
Lol why would she lie?
That is her real hair, there are pictures on the internet with her natural hair in a massive afro. Y’all kill me with the “that’s not her real hair, it’s silky” mess. Have several seats –> _/
Women that wear weaves or u parts COMMONLY have two different textures because they’re usually apply heat to their leave out, which makes it thinner and straighter. Or they may only relax their leave out. It’s actually pretty common. *shrugs*
She had a massive Afro last year when she was featured in black girl long hair, and at that time if she pulled her hair for measure she was clearly already baller bra strap length if not more… Her hair is long in it’s natural state so it should be even longer straightened
Very nice
Not baller lol bsl
OMG! some people are really ignorant saying that’s not her real it’s too slick!. the post said she flat iron her hair!
This @tammie Faulkner Taylor girl is really jealous of her …. Smh!!
Sooo…….why does she wear weaves again?????? #idontgetit
Omg why is it so surprising that she has long hair. ..any one can have it..jst let it grow
Oh, well
I kinda understand why people are showing off their own hair. Some people stereotype that if a woman wears a weave/wig, it’s because she’s bald. They refuse to accept that plenty of women have a head full of hair under their weave that they are protecting.
Beautiful.
Lol something on her is pretty
Who cares, all these celebrities wear wigs and weaves for their jobs, and I am convinced they are All bald head…please stop trying to make us believe that celebrities have long, natural hair, because its a lie 🙂 They all bald with zero edges…next
Yes she has great hair.
Damn yall bitches are some haters!! I seen the pics her stylist posted washing, blow drying, and flat ironing her hair. That’s all her shit!! Black girls do have long hair you know!! We’re not all bald headed like most of you sad ass females that’s posting hate comments!!
Her hair is beautiful i remember seeing it without flatiron it’s stunning!..love it!
Sorrita is a HATER! Smh….sad. Lol
My hair is the same as hers….HOWEVER…can someone please explain to me how all these sistas are putting a flatiron to their hair without it breaking off….I love the way my hair looks flat ironed…..but it constantly breaks my hair off immediately…..and I have the flatiron on the same exact heat setting as my curling iron….I just dont understand???
I like this but she know that weave….
Who cares if its natural or not? Glad she feels comfy in her skin that’s all that matter. Black girls can have long silky hair. Why is hair such a hater conversation
I’m happy for her but I must say I am jealous lol
Cute!
If you protect something, it’s healthier and it grows. The reason her hair is that long is because she wears weave. Instead of constantly flat ironing her own hair, she does it to the weave hair. Her own hair is protected, so it grows. No different than people using braids to “grow out” their hair. Oprah does the same thing. Nicki Minaj, Blac Chyna, etc. Why is that so difficult to understand? lol
Wow .. The hate I’d real. Lol
The ignorance on healthy hair is real.
love her hair
Lmaooo the hate in black woman for other black woman is REAL!!! lmaoo sorrita alex w.e is a hater lmaooo I swear you have weave on your head top too so I guess you have no edges or hair? Kmt
it’s a silk press! That’s why it’s silky hahahahahah
Beautiful hair
Cute hair,but two different textures. Look at the ends.. Any cosmetologist can spot a weave. No shade thrown just brig honest
Go back to beauty school.
Hair can be flat ironed and still healthy. You have to use products without petroleum or alcohol in them. I am natural and go from curly to straight all the time. I use My Sisters’ Natural products. Visit http://www.mysistersnatural.com for product information.
That is her hair and i just don’t believe it, i know it’s all hers. Protect, moisturizes, seal daily and your hair will grow. Stop hating, ladies!
Soooooo pretty!!!!
Dawn Clifton when they post these pictures the client might only get her hair flat iron twice a year. Everyone hair is so very different. If u do decide to flat iron your hair reduce how many times u do use a flat iron and use a good heat protect. Your hair is tell u something by it breakage. Listen and look at your hair. I haven’t used heat (curling irons, flat iron) in my hair for 8 months and don’t plan on either and my hair is rewarding me with thickness and length.
I’m reading comments on here about her hair being “too slick” so, it’s fake. For your information, my hair comes out just as straight when it’s flat-ironed. It’s called having a good hair dresser and having a good flat-iron.
People who wear good weave hair can spot it!!!
Adorable
Cute hairstyle not all hers 14years an I know …why would you only have highlights in your bangs..now I do have clients with long healthy hair…but this is not all hers
I don’t know or care it looks good 🙂
It looks nice 🙂
Chevy for the comments lol
This is not a weave. I’m a hairstylist..this is her hair I’ve seen it in it’s natural state. Why is it difficult to understand black women have hair too. I know many girls with long hair just like this and I put weaves n their hair
And…lol
She has long hair, but you can spot her extensions from this image. Nice try, heffa.
She wears weave most of the time so why wouldn’t she have a head full of beautiful hair?! Its called a flatiron!! Geeeeeez! #youbaldornah
could be true but, i dont blev it..:/
Weave!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even good quality! Bye!!
I’m not hating at all and I do believe black people can grow their hair to long lengths but the color in her hair sets it off.to me; I think it’s fake.
The fact that it is news/foreign concept for a black woman to show her natural hair is comical!
Wow!!!!! PEOPLE WORRY BOUT THE WRONG THINGS…..SMH….ITS ONLY HAIR EITHER SHE GREW OR BROUGHT IT…..EITHER WAY ITS HERS
Damn she sexy
If you’ve followed her career, one would know she’s always had long beautiful hair.
Because her bang has highlights doesn’t mean a thing. She could of highlighted them previously for a weave because she wears leave out but as far as this being her natural hair, idk. Lol either way it’s laid!!!
Some weave ??
Exactly! Victoria Burnett people are so quick to hate
People are stupid. Oh she has color in her hair that auto means she has weave. Like people can’t highlight their hair. Haha. Tell your kids not to take after you. Don’t breed stupidity.
Beautiful!!!!
Bee Linda M I agree.I’m 42 &I have totally out grown the long hair. .can’t wait til hat season is gone I’m first gonna dye it cold black.yes I’m a redhead and yes this is my hair. .42 years. Then I’m goin for it..short sassy
that;s a weave.
what does her hair look like in is natural state though??
Bye Felicia!
Weave!!!
Who cares her hair looks nice get a grip people.
Stop hating
I don’t understand people who come on a hair blog that PROMOTES healthy hair growth and practices and says that someone’s hair is a weave. Why is it a weave? can you prove it? No you can’t ? If she has money to a good hair dresser. Hopefully her stylist will also teach her ‘healthy hair practices’ she can do at home.
Also black hair can be a NUMBER of different textures on one head, its not unusual in fact its very common. Every woman with the right knowledge can have long healthy hair based on length retention as well hair growth. So if you think that it’s not possible you need stick to using the DAX and the Blue Magic pomade!!
