I love a silly celebrity story. And today being Thanksgiving eve with way too much on your mind to learn about actual hair care, it’s the perfect time for one of these ‘nothing stories’. The person in question this time is none other than Rihanna at the American Music Awards.
‘They’ as in the media as well as concerned naysayers on Twitter are saying that Rihanna’s doobie wrap hair style was not a real hair style? Necole Bitchie posted a twitter caption on Instagram that said:
Rihanna walked out of the Dominican hair salon straight to the AMA’s.
I don’t know about you but I like Rihanna’s diamond bobbie pin doobie wrap, To be honest, at first I was a little disturbed because I couldn’t let go of the fact that you cannot wear that style outside, but then I said to myself, who says you can’t? And where in the world did I get that from?
The Huffington Post began their fun rant by saying:
Welp, leave it to Rihanna to rock the most talked about look at the 2013 American Music Awards last night. And we’re not referring to her barely there Jean Paul Gaultier ensemble — it was her hair that stole the show. The superstar truly, actually and factually wore a doobie wrap! (Insert dropped jaws)
That was hilarious, because the last time I checked Jean Paul Gaultier is an awesome designer and normally the focus at award shows is typically ‘what she wore’ not ‘how she wore her hair’.
This time however, the hair fashion police were out in full force and the doobie wrap was the center of the disturbance. Don’t worry though, this post is really not about tearing down the historical doobie wrap, after all many of us lived by that style to help keep our straight hair looking flawless.
It really is about exploring the reason someone else’s personal style becomes the center of attention in a negative way and trying to decipher where it all started. How did the doobie wrap all of a sudden become the most shameful thing a woman could do on a public stage, while receiving a prestigious award?
As a woman that consistently pushes the envelope with everything from twerking on Instagram before a show to countless tattoos Rihanna knew the buzz a hairstyle like that would create when she stepped onto the red carpet.
She knew that there would be some naysayers particularly in the Hispanic and black community that might give her the side eye. In the spirit of good fun, we thought about RiRi’s little stunt and wondered what made her hair such a big deal? What is it that wearing what looks to be a completely neat and conservative look that has our panties in such a bunch?
One thing we do in our community that’s a little ‘eh’ is giving negative power to simple things, something as tiny as wrapping your hair in a circle and adding a few pins is defined as not good enough to be worn in public, closely akin to another style that is not appropriate for work, or not appropriate for school.
Somehow these imaginary lines are drawn and we dare not cross them even when the truth is, you have the power to wear your hair the way you see fit. Personal style is about doing what makes you comfortable, it is not defined by anyone or anything, it is not defined by a period of time or how the media thinks you should be, it is personal. Let the fireworks begin *wink*
The Huffington post continues its commentary by saying
Basically, it’s equivalent to walking out the of house with your rollers still in. With that said, you can only imagine the shock and awe that swept across Twitter when RiRi was spotted rocking the look at one of the biggest events of the year, where she received the AMA’s first-ever Icon Award. Thankfully she upgraded the look for her performance of “Diamonds” by adding some pearl and rhinestone encrusted bobby pins* to the mix. But it was still a doobie.
What is even more hilarious is thanksgiving is around the corner (at the time), and there are a ton of things we could be focused on but all week long we will be talking about a doobie wrap. Tsk tsk.
What say you, would you wear a doobie wrap in public, and if so why not?

Jessica KupKake Brittingham says
I agree she can do whatever she wants
Michelle says
It’s her hair, she can do whatever she wants … because when it’s my hair I do whatever I want and anyone that doesn’t like it knows where to go.
Jessica KupKake Brittingham says
I feel she was making a statement personally
Kelsey Chatman says
Yes, she was definitely making a statement. Those who are still walking around judging her still don’t get it. It’s because of them that she wants to defy societal beauty standards. It angers them and she loves it because she knows she beautiful no matter what.
Catina Hadley says
Not
Deidre Brooks Toussaint says
She can wear whatever…it’s RiRi…but imma have to say NAY…

Any different to someone wearing bantu knots? Personally I don’t think it looks that bad
Tanina Woodard RN Bsn says
She is a celebrity and they do things to make ppl talk and look it wrks. I dnt think the hairstyle was ever suppose to be combed out. Supposedly she stole it from another rapper(who is irrelevant) who says this hairstyle represents a crown as she is a queen. :-/
Karlene Weatherington says
Nay Nay Nay
Kamilah Evans says
I’m sorry. Rihanna is a great entertainer no doubt about that….but the girl is just bored now. Her attitude has changed drastically and she’s become so conceited and arrogant.

NíNí Octavía says

Unique Hunter says
No not sweet…She night as well throw on a scarf or bonnet
Jawaka Johnson says
It’s a flat beehive from back in the day. I do remember a few years back, maybe more than a few because I was in middle school probably, when wearing your hair in the wrap was a style.
Brenda Sanders says
Ppl are petty about something so small- wraps have been worn long ago as a- short simple doo!
Shetavia C Al-Amin says
Raggedy
Shadette Brittingham says

Valerie Price says
Are y’all serious as much important things in the world to focus on . Y’all are focusing on a dupe wrap. Nubian people wake up .. our male children are being setup my the education system, their is so much MSG GMO in OUR FOODS the quality of air n water is bad .seriously people. Up you mighty race we can accomplish if we will!!!
Kelsey Chatman says
Celebrity gossip and social media is wayy more important apparently! People like to get on and judge others because they can’t find any other way to be productive with their own lives. And yet, I’m here, too! But I think that she is making a statement to the style Nazis like them. Pushing society’s standards of beauty.
Stacey George says
I think its cute,let her be comfortable n do her…..now sum wars r a mess but hers were neat, so RiRi u Rock chica!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tanita Familymatters Richardson says
I think it looked brilliant!!!! And I LOVE HER GLAM SQUAD!!! The thing we have to realize is that hers was done to style not on some lazy ish…so I LOVED IT!!! I wouldn’t wear it BC as you can see NOT EVERYBODY understands style…I mean PINCURLS were made for curls and ppl started wearing them as styles and never questioned it same as for finger waves ad such sooo go figure…
Mey's Convo says
I used to wear it, even in public. Its cute! But I think for that particular event and especially w that gorgeous dress….she could’ve chosen a better choice.
Sharon L Glover says
That’s some certified hood rat ish right there. A lady always combs her hair before she leaves the house.
Dani John Garry says
maybe she did Doobie wrap the same day.
Sheryl Lowe says
Maybe she just run out of ideas #jusssaying
Sheryl Lowe Johnson says

Tamela Tate Moses says
Incomplete!
Rasheedah Jordan says
I think its terrible but its not on my head so whatever. Lol
Tara Dacus says
Yes we all can say we see women do this everyday. However, this is totally inappropriate for an award show. In my opinion the entire outfit was horrible. Just because she usually is on point with her fashion this shouldn’t give her a pass. If there was to be a statement with that hairstyle I’m still waiting on it to speak to me.
Chloe SoSpecial Livingston says
The Bobby pins kill it
Melonie Jennings says
Looks like a african hat.
Kara Maxwell says
Nay! It’s like she was running late and decided to throw a few sparkly pins in and called ir done.
Surayyah Johnson says
I was taught headrags, curlers, pajamas, bedroom shoes etc., were for inside, wraps included. Now if ur running to kids school, airport for a quick pick up, not leaving the car & it’s necessary life happens. I like Rhianna, beautiful, talented young woman; however this is a no go.

Christina Walker-Moore says
Yes I use to wear one while running to the store !!! Not a big deal!!!!
Paegan Vernon says
Personally, no but once I start making millions I probably will lol… beside that, Rihanna has worn every look under the sun so this is just another look for her…its about creativity and this is one look that we cud all relate to unlike the unrealistic waist long hair these girls r goin broke for trying to achieve. Just b proud that an “icon” is wearing the style we go to bed in everynight and shut the hell up.

Catina Denise Ferguson says
Nay..it’s not a hairstyle…it’s to keep the actually hairstyle so that it can be perfectly worn later. Get it together Rihanna. Stop trying to be a trend setter with things that are not trends.
PremaDona TomBoi says
I do keeps my hair straight especially if the weather is bad or if I just got done but I wouldn’t wear it outside like a style like really we’re as a fashion statement
Karen Chamberlain says
Nay, if it is not a quick run to the store or out at the gym type of thing, no I wouldn’t. I’m not headed to church, parent teacher conference, or any event with a wrap
Tashima Smilez Ferguson says
People do this all the time. The fact rhianna is famous & in spotlight u judge her . She looks fine with diamonds on her pins .
Crystal Heaven Made Johnson says
She is just beautiful! Bt I couldnt rock that so I say Nay
Valerie Jackson-Pereira says
Ya if its raining out side
Evet Grady says
I would BC like Rihanna I know where my beauty stands
Zaccheaus Mcbonnie Marumo says
Why do we point one finger on others when the rest of the fingers are being pointed out at our very own self. Take a time from within yourself and beautify constructively.
We beautifies natural wonders into a Global Village. We shines through pure greatness of love and beautifying nature’s purest, finest jewel beyond longevity graciously and gloriously beautiful. Change your moral attitudes, moral concepts of seeing yourself as seeing others from within themselves. Love beautifies. Love magnifies. Love shines. Love never speak. Love admired. Love never hurting. Love heals, broken hearted always. Love shines through greatness from within ourselves throughout the world.
Anne RedDiamond Williams says
She’s a woman , and we all have had our bad hair days.
Jo'Zette Printemps says
I think everything this girl wears suits her nicely..from head to toe she looked great.. before going natural I had my hair like that all the time for bed and even in public for a while cuz I just came from the Dominican hair salon or need to grap something quick outside. But i never think its a style…. its a protective keep your curve wrap for me from waking up to a flat strength dull hair.

Stanaya 'nay-nay' Reevey says
To me it kilt her look. I mean her doobie is flawless but with her outfit it just threw it off.
LaMonica S Cartier says
Do her. Just because it’s something you wouldn’t do don’t judge her for being her.
Daphne Salomon Dada Cheri says
Yes but it depends on where I’m at…. I’m from Brooklyn rocking a doobie is normal when your going to the store to get something to eat or on a rainy day and of course when leaving the Dominicans
Akiean Williams says
This is normal in the south
Ebonie Irby says
Nay! But why would you? It’s nothing attractive/appealing about it
Shari-Lou Henry says
Naaaay!!!! Looks ridiculous!!! Just because someone bedazzled her bobby pins does NOT make this a “style”…IF i ever go out with my hair wrapped i have on a beanie or some type of.hat tjay covers my head so completely that your only thought is either A. How did she fit.all her hair in that hat? Or B. Did she cut off all her hair!?!?!
Cherry Robertson says
Nay.
Ivory Monique says
One of the dumbest things I ever seen…she looked so unfinished…just wack
J-nae Necole says
It’s her prerogative! I am a New Yorker and this is a normal protective style to wear after getting hair done, before you get to your desk at work and everything in between. I personally wouldn’t wear it to an award show as a style. But each person has their own style and coif! I have seen people with raggedy doobies pinned up and wonder how long they’ve been wearing the pins? Rachet or not…to each’s own!

Davida DuRant-Missouri says
Who cares its not that serious. Women have been wearing hair wraps in public for years. Why is it as soon as a popular star does it, its news?
Stephanie Montague says
No. It the look you have before the actual hairstyle. But I have NO DOUBT there will be many women walking around like this, lol.
SeKret Benét says

Barbara K Bluford says
Yeppppppp
Kay Eddy says
Who gives a rash class how Riri wears her hair and to what event. The last time I check its her hair and she can rock wherever she wants. Is there some rule written in stone that a doobie wrap is not to be worn in public!!! Just because someone is confident enough to wear it at an event, should we now stone them to death. Get real people!! Its reaction like this that has our world twisted and now a 12 year old girl can’t wear her natural hair to school because decent hair is straight well kept hair. Get it together people and check your African roots. All these subjective feelings calling it ghetto and hood rat are just opinions. The fact is Riri wore a doobie wrap in public and still rocked it. Let’s not let our culture and customs stigmatize a persons self confidence. Grow up people.
Kay Eddy says
India Arie “Is that India.Arie?
Ooh look she cut her hair!

But it looks sharp, it looks nice on her
She got a nice shaped head
She got an apple head
I know right?
It’s perfect.

It is her right to wear her hair any way she wants, but let’s be real….this is just as bad as leaving your rollers in . If it wasn’t Rihanna, we would be talking bad about the woman who went to an event with her hair like this. Cutting Edge this is not, it’s tacky!

Iam Synethia Montrice says
yes
Mojo says
This style was Rihanna’s Idea and honestly I believe she can rock any style and look fab…she can be completely bald and still look lovely because she carries the confidence while being daring. She knew exactly what she wanted to do and did it successfully. I wouldn’t do it but it doesn’t take away the fact that she can or anyone for that matter. I like my big hair and it doesn’t wrap and I’m totally okay with that.
Devona Dymond says
Just think it wasn’t a good choice for that particular occasion, but do YOU Ri. U still a BAD B****!!
