i've heard that's what black men do to black woman </div></div>

That's not true. Michelle Obama's hair isn't relaxed. I'm sure Obama doesn't give her flack about her hair. She just exercises her options. That's the beauty of black hair. The versatility. Her hair is natural. My hair is natural as well. I wear it curly and blow dried straight like Michelle.

What difference does it make??? Black women are not their hair!! It's just hair. At the end of the day we should celebrate their accomplishments and not reduce them because of the way they choose to wear their hair. It's ignorant and its foolish </div></div>an so is Oprah's

Its quite obvious that Oprah is wearing a weave. Hello???? Michelle does not relax her hair. I guess you know very little about healthy black hair. All Black women don't have to relax their hair. If you probably moisturize and condition you can wear a lot of relaxer type styles without relaxing your hair.

Re: The black woman weh gwine be Xerox. CEO..

yeah i remember reading on the hair boards that michelle didnt relax and everyone was all ...and then there was doubt because of another magazine piece and everyone was

oprah herself said that her hair isnt relaxed...i think she presses/flat irons frequently and wears pieces added in from time to time (when she has that curly look)

Michelle's hair is not relaxed. Trust me on that. That's why it is so healthy. She is a blow dry and flat iron girl!! Doobie chic!!

A silky mane draws raves and questions
By Elizabeth Wellington

Fashion Columnist

From the moment Michelle Obama took the podium Monday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver, her tresses brushing her shoulders in a soft flip with silky edges, black women across the country wanted to know: Who did her hair?
Was she fresh from the chair? What kind of relaxer does she use? Did Oprah lend her Andre?

Sure, she moved us with her patriotic speech. And we teared when she recounted her first child's ride home from the hospital, with a nervous Barack driving.

But we couldn't help but notice the hair - in all its perfection.

<span style="font-weight: bold">So here you have it. The big news is that Michelle is a no-lye lady.</span>
It may not seem like a big deal, but black women for centuries have been trying to get that hair nirvana - without chemicals.

After the much-talked-about purple Maria Pinto sheath Obama wore when Barack clinched and the White House/Black Market sundress that sold out in hours after her appearance on The View, we have more reason to pay attention to our potential first lady's style choices.

Her heavenly mane is blown out by Johnny Wright, a California-based stylist at Frédéric Fekkai on Melrose Place.

Wright, a consultant for Soft Sheen Carson, works his magic on Anita Baker, Vivica A. Fox and Vanessa Williams. He met Obama after he styled her hair for the cover of Ebony magazine.

The news first broke that Wright was Obama's stylist on BellaSugar.com in late July. New York magazine picked up the story as well, insinuating Obama was snooty for requesting her stylist travel with her to the convention. (Isn't that the right of a potential first lady?)

While Fekkai has been reluctant recently to talk about Obama's hair, citing privacy issues, company spokeswoman Denise Davila did say that her hair was blown out by Wright and that he did not use chemicals in her hair. And yesterday morning, the Today show did a segment touting Frédéric Fekkai products.

The bigger question is: How is this mane magic possible? Can black women have such a silky look without chemicals at all?

&quot;It is totally possible to have hair that straight without having a relaxer,&quot; explained Brandy Davila (no relation to Denise), hairstylist and color specialist at Bubbles Salon on Walnut Street. Davila styles the 10! Show's Lori Wilson, an African American anchorwoman with a sleek style similar to Obama's.

&quot;The key is in the products and the tools that are being used,&quot; Davila said.

Davila said that in the last five years, more black women who wear their hair straight are moving away from relaxers because they desire more movement. Women with color-treated hair also are moving away from chemical straighteners because of breakage issues.

To get the look, Davila said, she shampoos and conditions hair, then applies a dime-size amount of Phytodefrisant and Phytolisse cocktail. These two products, she said, protect the hair from the heat of the blow dryer and help with shine.

After that, Davila said, the hair is blown out under low heat with a paddle brush. To get the maximum body, straightness and curl, Davila uses a flat iron, which gets as hot as 400 degrees. Right now the most popular flat irons in the black haircare market are Chi and Fhi irons.

&quot;These irons let you control the heat,&quot; Davila said.

Davila said the style could last from three to six days, depending on the humidity.

A blow-out at her salon ranges from $45 to $65.

CBS2Chicago.com reports that the person behind Michelle Obama’s fabulous hair is none other than Rahni Flowers. He has been styling Obama’s hair for 26 years.

“She’s just a wonderful lady — bright, young, energetic creative,” he said. “She’s gone from curlier look over time when she was younger. As she’s matured we’ve done flips, layered flips and then she’s gone to a very simple look that’s very clean and easy.”

The style he’ll create depends on the dress she wears. For now, that’s a secret. But if she chooses a dress with a high neckline he’ll do a French roll.

Rahni will also create a fitting style for the first lady’s mother. Mrs. Robinson will likely wear the same style we all had the pleasure of viewing on election night.

Oprah does wear weave. She wears hair pieces/weave tracks. So please spare me. At the end of the day who cares. Her hair could be blond. It's actual pathetic when we reduce black women to the way they wear their hair. It's wack!!!

Right and Mr. Flowers was obviously fired. Yeah right he turned down the job. My behind!!! Her hair is not relaxed. Please read my article. I will let you continue this argument. I refuse to entertain this topic. If Michelle wants to rock a mohawk I will still love her. I will not participate in reducing my fellow sistas to the way they wear their hair. You can do that!! Calgary must be really boring

[diabolical_Tanya]

Re: The black woman weh gwine be Xerox. CEO..

what's wack is that you can swear for these two women that you have probably never met or seen close enough to see grown out roots or weave tracks.

Oprah said she does not wear weave and I choose to belive what SHE said.

Michelle's hair looks relaxed to me

but what would I know all the way in Calgary with no black hairdressers
