Just had to share this. Oprah is rocking this giant, both in volume and in weight, afro wig for the cover of September’s issue of O Magazine. The wig even has it’s own name, ‘Wild Thang’!
According to Necole Bitchie, Oprah reveals her real hair and shares a little about bit about it in the feature inside the magazine:
No wig*, weave, perm, braids, twists, extensions*, curling iron*, straightening comb, or blow-dryer. Au naturel!
As much as I enjoyed hanging out with Wild Thang. I know for sure that your true crowning glory comes not from what’s on your head but from what’s in your heart.
Her stylist has admitted in the past that he used to apply a light relaxer to Oprah’s hair (aka a texlax) but it sounds like that’s no longer the case. Kudos to her for making the switch.
I don’t think one could wear that afro wig* for even a few hours without some extra neck support but I think Oprah looks fab, the hair, the dress, the entire look!
I wrote the book UNBEWEAVABLE, it deals with the erasing of the image of the Black African American Women by the mass media. When Oprah did this story about natural hair I was shocked, she did a great job. please someone get my story to her, and here’s my video series. This is a Unbeweavable series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-j6xl9I8QI&feature=share&list=PL8lAYgzsJgk:JwC4qouhltdHkLaa5e3hcG
It’s beautiful
Nice!
Love!
.. why
It would be cool if it was her hair
How many people are wearing their own hair? I mean without disguising it in some way?
Its a large, tacky wig…..
And it was beautiful
it’s beautiful!
When I wear an afro it feels like it weighs 3.5lbs
Old news but the look is hot! I wish I had all that hair – I think it’s lovely
I though that was her real hair!
Oprah’s wig is the bomb…
