I have a confession to make - I have a hair crush on US first lady Michelle Obama's new hair do. Have you seen it? Full, bouncy and honey blondish (4/30 for my weave wearing friends). My favourite part? All made possible with hair extensions.
Now every time I identify hair pieces, weaves or wigs on a woman , I always get told that not every woman wears extension. It's a fact that I acknowledge; but given the schedules of today's woman, hair extensions are more common than they were in, say, my grandmother's day.
A woman with the schedule of Mrs Obama could hardly keep up with the "fried, dyed and laid to the side" on the daily .
It was on Mrs Obama's trip to China recently that really made me take note of her hair extension. I knew that since her husband, US President Barack Obama, came into office, photos of Mrs Obama have always shown her healthy naturally grown hair.
But those China photos. It was the way the part in her own hair seemed to be just slightly off as it got to the middle. As women we all have done crooked parts in our hair; but there was something just a wee different about hers. Look at the photos yourself.
Now I want in. I want to know if this brilliant unit was the work of Mrs Obama's hair stylist Johnny Wright .
From my observation, it seems designed to be worn much like a half weave/wig - to allow her hairline to breathe and wear out but with a natural part that makes for a seamless look.
I am also feeling the manageable length. This is definitely a unit I would wear.
