Johnny Wright On Styling Michelle Obama's Hair: 'She Just Kind Of Chills'

W Magazine:

When you're working with her, does she tell you exactly what she wants?
No, she just kind of chills. I go with whatever she's wearing and I pay attention to the moment. Should it be a little more flirty? Should it be a little more submissive? Should it be a little more strong? I believe hair is a language, if it's not moving it has no voice.

I agree. Her hair looks very cute like this. It also looked good at the Stevie Wonder concert (or whatever it was). But this is one of the best yet.

This style looks great on Mrs. O.. It makes her look younger that 45..

I love her hair like that. Very flattering. She should get it cut and styled like that for real, instead of just "pinned up" .

That hairstyle in the picture is adorable and makes her look 15 years younger. I love it.

I love her hair and I like how he pinned it up to make it look short. She is beautiful.

Why are you so insistent that it's a wig? And rudely so! Were you there when a wig was being placed on her head?

That's is not a wig. And EVEN IF IT WAS, what's wrong with that? Women of all colors wear wigs. Is that supposed to be some sort of swipe at her for changing up her look?

Thank U , Michelles WIG DIDNOT FOOL ME, really it's so obvious.

It's NOT obvious at all. Her hair looksNOTHING like a weave OR wig. wig makers WISH they could make hair that looks so natural. Fake hair is usually heavier. This comment is sooo annoying and personal to me. I've seen too many know it alls arrogantly determining what Black woman has a weave and what Black woman doesn't . Usually for no other reason than that the Black woman is a dark skinned woman sporting hair that they think is just too nice.....for a Black woman.

What's obvious is you didn't read the article.

See the LINK above.

That's the first time I've ever heard anyone compliment hair styling because it looks like a wig. Usually people compliment wigs because they look like real hair. LOL!!! Only on an Obama site!
