Michelle Obama's Natural Hair

At last! Michelle Obama was spotted rocking her natural hair...

Twitter user @meagnacarta posted a photo of Michelle with a curly, voluminous low ponytail, and a wide, printed headband around her edges.

It's not clear when or where it was taken, but it didn't take long for the rest of Twitter to collectively freak out. Meagnacarta's post racked up over 16,000 retweets, and prompted a whole lot of responses, too.

More about it here.

The biggest reason I decided to lock my hair is because I was spending hours at the beauty shop, and I wanted to have my life back. I spent 18 years going to the beauty shop. I do not want to go to the beauty shop again in my life.
