Michelle Obama Does Not Have a Relaxer!
Comments (12)
Oh, so that's her secret, huh? I have a sister who also has sworn off chemicals and she, too, has the most gorgeous head of hair. BTW, today on the Today Show, Hoda was talking about the products her stylist uses to make her hair so bouncing and behaving. She reportedly uses Frederic Fekkai or however you spell it.— Jenice Armstrong- I stopped using a relaxer four years ago and have never looked back. My hair feels and looks great. And more importantly, it's HEALTHY. Most people don't believe that I don't have a relaxer because of how well it holds up in the summer heat and humidity. Make the change, ladies. You won't regret it.— frannie
- There are so many women who are making the change from using relaxers. I have not had a relaxer in 3 years and I love it. I think my hair holds up longer without the relaxer. And like the woman who posted before me, my hair is much healthier. I go to Abstract Salon in South Philly and they only do natural hair. No chemicals are used is this salon.— Fase
- a personal stylist let her go with kinky roots like that?— ChrissMari
- I would love to go natural, I plan to cut all my fried hair off and start over. HELP!!! How do I get the Michelle Obama look— scampbel
- Please Post the address to abstact Salon in South Philly, I'm from Philly living in VA I will travel if necessary— scampbel
- Abstract Salon 1724 Snyder Avenue. 215-545-7644. Check out the website. www.abstractsalonofthearts.com. All styles on the site are relaxer free.— Fase
- What's wrong with kinky roots? Why can't we embrace the idea that natural hair is attractive. It's what our hair is supposed to look like.— amajomartin
- Ok, I was already tearing up at the thought of a beautiful Black family being in the White House, now I know that the potential First Lady wears her hair like mine! This could change the way a lot of little Black girls view their hair.— millert
- This headline is so embarassing. With all of the real issues surrounding the election, why are we focusing on something as unimportant as this? Whether her hair is relaxed or not is her business. Is anyone focusing on whether Hilary colors her hair or paints her toenails or whatever. Philly is so durn low-brow.— My Own Mind
- I thought her hair was FABULOUS Monday night - shiny, bouncy - never better. But Tuesday night - it was pulled back completely into one teeny tiny ponytail (as far as I could tell). I've seen this before - one day it's gorgeous - and the next day...not so much. Now it's Wednesday, and it looks great again (although we need to discuss Wednesday's DRESS; Tuesday's wasn't that great either - but what the HELL is ON tonight's dress?)...I'm Caucasian, so I can't appreciate the challenges of African-American hair...but what's the deal with the dramatic swings? If she has someone to do her hair - shouldn't it look pretty good all the time?— mskimberley
- I love her hair! It is so gorgeous and healthy! Johnny is actually one of the featured stylist on www.urbansalonnetwork.com ! This site is great because they have salons and stylist from all over the US that specialize in black hair care. I want her hair!— Bellad

About this blog
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
