Everywhere you turn these days, you see a Black celeb tweeting natural hair in selfies on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

HairNista's posts on Brandy and other celebs who wear natural hair (their own or wigs/weave) are our highest-rated posts, so clearly there is a big interest in Black celebs' hair. Still, it raises a bit of controversy, because many readers weigh-in that these celebs are proud to show their natural hair to their fans, but never on the red carpet.

Hmmmm.

Brandy Shows Off Natural Hair on Instagram

Brandy's natural hair

Singer and actress Brandy revealed what she's been hiding under her weaves and braids all these years -- one huge fro!

The singer revealed her natural hair on Instagram with celeb stylist Kim Kimble. Her fro is massive! So cute.

Now, some commenters on some popular natural hair sites like BGLHonline.com are throwing plenty shade -- and wonder if this is the latest trend of celebs debuting their natural hair. *shrugs*

They have every right to be proud of their hair. I  know if I was a celeb, I'd want to protect my hair, hence, the big reveal. Online, it's a pecking order, between folks who wear their hair natural every day and those who don't, apparently. I seriously don't get what all the fuss is about.

What do you think of celebs who reveal their natural hair?

Brandy Rocks a Curly Weave At Billboard Music Awards

Actress and R&B singer Brandy graced the Billboard Music Awards' red carpet with a headful of hair -- curly weave and all.

Hit or miss?

Personally, I like it. The hair compliments the dress perfectly -- classy and sexy at the same time. Love the cut! Wig or weave? I'm gonna say it's a wig that's been given a custom cut that falls perfectly. The hair is the perfect accessory -- big hair that doesn't clash with her outfit. As we know, natural hair is the ultimate accessory -- whether it's yours or not!

I should have known something was up when Gary with the Tea, a host on Ricky Smiley's radio program, said Brandy was wearing 20 pounds of hair at the BBMA during his gossip announcements. I love my weave girls, but I'm glad to see there are more curlier options. Weave doesn't have to only be straight and hang down to your ass!

Plus, this is the first time I think I've ever seen Brandy wearing a curly weave; it looks stunning on her. Brandy joins a host of celebs wearing kinky and curly weaves/wigs, including Serena and Beyonce. Go Brandy! And I love her makeup.
