Oprah Rocks Her Natural Hair On Cover of O Mag

Oprah wears a textured style

Is Oprah Winfrey natural?

She's wearing a natural style on the September cover of O Magazine, You can pick up your shea butter from off the floor! Ms. Winfrey is indeed natural, according to her website, which says,

"Check Out Oprah's Natural Hair on O Magazine's September 2012 Cover!"

"For the first time ever, Oprah's appearing on the cover of O without blow-drying or straightening her hair. She says that wearing her hair naturally—as she often does on weekends and on vacation—makes her feel unencumbered."

We are so glad Oprah embraced her curls on the cover of her magazine! We welcome you!

This is big. Whatever Ms.Winfrey decidees to do with her hair is big news. Besides FLOTUS Michelle Obama, you can't get any bigger than this.

Who could forget Chris Rock weave checking Oprah's scalp on Good Hair? And remember that infamous YouTube vid a few years back of Oprah and her lush, gorgeous natural hair in a shoulder-length blowout?

Naturals worldwide were happy to claim her, then she got a relaxer. Though her stylist, Andre Walker, made quite a few bumbling statements about kinky hair while he tried to promote his new hair care product line.

Now, Oprah is wearing the curls again. We still love Oprah's thick hair, relaxed or not. Very possible that she wore a braidout or a wash and go on the cover. Come on, Oprah, girl, let's dish products? Oprah has worn a variety of hairstyles over her 25+ years on national TV, from bouncy layered cuts, to straight and curly weaves and extensions and lush shoulder length curls to cornrows.

In the September issue, we love Oprah's hair gems, including that she wears her hair curly on the weekends and likes a variety of styles (Duh, we knew that!)  Come on, Oprah, let's see those curls during the week.

And Oprah also said she considered a big chop:

"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.”

Humbly disagree with Mr. Cosby's opinion (Oprah has the face shape to pull it off, IMO. Though Mrs. Cosby and Ms. Winfrey have different, but both beautiful, hair textures, Oprah would look STUNNING with a TWA).

Are you glad that Oprah is natural?
