Holy Oprah! The Queen of Media is blazing another trail and this time it's all about her hair. The recently released visuals for the September cover of O, The Oprah Magazine shows the most powerful woman in media wearing her hair in all it's natural glory. She joins the ranks of Viola Davis and Solange Knowles who have all recently worn their naturally textured hair with pride (served with a huge dollop of media attention).
"I wanted to wear it close-cropped à la Camille Cosby, but her husband Bill convinced me otherwise. 'Don't do it,' he said. 'You've got the wrong head shape and you'll disappoint yourself.' I took his advice," says Winfrey.
So, what's the story, I hear you ask? Why is this making the headlines (excuse the pun)? Well, I've got to be honest. I'm thinking the same thing. While there's no doubt she looks fab, surely it's a sorry state of affairs when we are lauding an African-American woman for 'daring' to wear her hair naturally?
Until then...geek on!
