This picture has been circulating around the web and it is quite impressive. To be clear, it is photoshopped. Michelle Obama does not wear her curls out (not yet anyway…) although there are whispers that her hair is natural but regularly straightened. Ladies, thoughts?

I love it! At first, I thought it was real and was a bit saddened to find out it wasn’t. I’ve heard her stylist, Johnny Wright, say FLOTUS is a heat trained natural and I hope that’s still true, if it works for her. I think she’ll come on over to the naturally curly side one day. She’s fab, no matter how she wears her hair.

Oh wow she looks hott!
Aw, I thought it was reaL! It is a gorgeous look on her!!!
Fabulous!! I bet she busts out some fab curls during hubbys second term. By then, it don’t matter what Americans are ready for.
Ha Ha.…Damn Straight
could you imagine the first lady growing out her heat straightened hair?? now that would be epic!
Awesome! She looks great! I hope she rocks a natural at least once soon!
Ficou maravilhoso! Se fosse ela adotaria, representa a mulher forte que ela é!
It’s a great look!
Its a shame she doesnt rock her natural hair she look gorgeous and they actually have the means to care for their hair in its natural state without a wrinkle in the pocket at a curly salon like quid ad and deva salon at $300 a visit and top of the line products I hope she does it I can’t stop staring at this pic
OMG! love it! She looks amazing!
She should really consider going natural because she does have a very thick texture of hair. She looks fabulous on this photo very stylish and sophisticated, I think she would be a beautiful natural chica!
That looks awesome on her, I wish she would go with that look
I absolutely love it!
FIERCE (in the good way)!
Ha! I was just about to send this to you! Compared with the original this looks so much hotter!
She would look so cute if she really had that hair style. Of course, the right would say its a black power move so they can get the black vote for the upcoming elections.
I don’t think the right cares about getting the black vote, actually.
wow she looks sooo good with that hair!!! it does wonders to her face …with those cheekbones and her general classiness,she looks like a queen!!
love it!
She would be sexy as hell if she wore her hair like that for real!
She looks amazing. I hope she does decide to go natural.
It looks cute, but Mrs. Obama looks gorgeous no matter what. Whether she decides to stop straightening her hair is her own choice.
Agreed, Mrs. Obama is just radiant either way.
That’s Natural Chica’s (Nikkimae2003 on YT) hair! lol

LOL!! I was wondering who was the owner of that lovely mane!
If Michelle Obama wore her hair like this, I would bow down in reverence.
Goodness, she looks absolutely STUNNING!
GASP!!
calm down girl.…America ain’t ready
😉
That’s one lovely elegant lady.

Our FLOTUS makes me proud, but I don’t think America is ready for a natural first lady just yet.…they’re still grappling with her being black.
lol that would be somethin tho.
i absolutely love it! i think she should def do this in real life. i mean, i love her hair straight to the way she does it, but this looks so much better i think. brings out her prettiness a lot more. she’s always classy no matter what hairdo or outfit she has, but i’m eyeing that dress favorably. >8]
Fierce.
curly or straight. she’s the queen.
Whoever photoshopped that picture really knew what they were doing. It looks great.
I’d love to see the first lady go natural. There’s still time… four more years! 😉
lauryn hill look alike
What an inspiration! She really does look wonderful.
Michelle Obama look Beautiful with natural hair!!!!
Looks okay, but she’s beautiful just like she is. I have no problem with people who choose to straighten their hair since I press my hair every two weeks too. I just prefer a straighter looK.
I find it interesting how many are using phrases like “it’s such a shame” and “she would be so cute” the First lady in my opinion is the epitome of a classy, sophisticated, educated, home making African American woman. She looks beautiful and “soo cute” regardless of how she chooses to wear her hair. I believe we as women need to stop pushing our preferences for others on them when they’ve clearly decided what course they want to take. Anyways, “natural” hair(I have relaxed friends who are not transitioning who’ve achieved this look, you don’t need to be natural to have… Read more »
I totally agree! You hear alot of people saying that and it baffles me that people would honestly think someone is more beautiful if they do this or that. Regardless of the texture or style preference, The First Lady is elegant and classy period. I don’t plan on ever wearing my real hair, nor do I plan anytime soon to relax it, but I will throw on a kinky wig in a heart beat or a straight one. Nevertheless, it is a personal preference! That doesn’t make me less African, Native, French American or not!
I love our First Lady to pieces, but I don’t think America is ready for this, lol…then again, I didn’t think America was ready for a black president until a few years ago, and look at us now! If she did rock a natural look like this, however, I WOULD BE ECSTATIC! I think it would propel the natural movement all the way into the mainstream.
It looks so much healthier and more beautiful than her straight hair. No one’s hair was meant to be heat tortured. She would look gorgeous with this look.
I have to say I quite impressed with this photoshop work, it look quite realistic at first glance.
Love, love, love this on her. I would be amazing to see her natural texture of hair 🙂
Americans would riot; we’ve already witnessed what happened when her daughters wore their hair natural and braided.
Why are we praising a photoshopped picture of the First Lady?? We have assumptions of how she will look with naturally curly hair but you don’t know how fine/dense/wiry/coily HER hair is. We have to remember it is Nikki Mae’s hair which is not only thick but very dense. The first lady is refined, classy and beautiful regardless of hair texture. It is HER decision how she wears her hair.
I love this picture with our beautiful first lady, Michelle Obama with natural hair. I think she should go natural and wear her natural hair out. She looks better with natural hair along with all Black women in Africa or in the African Dispora, like me. I am wearing an weave right now and I am natural under the weave and I rather wear my real hair. I wear weaves for convience because my hair frizzles often and takes some time t do in the mirror. I am a young Black teenage girl who looks up to Michelle Obama because… Read more »
Some one PLEASE… send Michelle this! Oh my goodness, THIS is HER STYLE — WOW WOW WOW!!!
I wondered about this photo when I saw it on FB. I had a feeling there was a little photo magic going on. :o)
It looks good on her though.
I soooo love it
Ooo, I would LOVE to see the First Lady go natural! She’s stunning and fabulous either way, though. Am I the only one who thinks she gives Jackie O a run for her money?
SCREAM! I really did scream. It is gorgeous.
I think her hair is relaxed and if it isn’t it might as well be because it’s constantly straight!
WOW she looks gorgeous with this hair i absolutely prefer it!!! I didnt even think it was her
I absolutely love this style. She looks Stunning!!!
Its such as you learn my mind! You appear to understand so much approximately this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I think that you just could do with a few % to drive the message house a bit, however instead of that, this is great blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
If she is natural her hair is probably terribly heat damaged from all that straightening.
I love it — she looks so much younger too and more glam. Shows off her facial structure great in that pic.
PLEASE do it Michelle!!!! I guess maybe she can’t because it would take a while to get it from where it is now to where it is in that pic…but I still say do it!!
And yeah, Jackie wh..O?
our first lady is naurally gorgeous go Mrs,Obama
African hair belongs to african face
