We’ve seen glimpses of it; when she straightened her hair for her Dance Apocalyptic video, when she had a “hair malfunction” at a 2010 concert. But never before had we seen the petite songstress rock her legendary curls out and about (and unstraightened)… until now!
After an incredible performance at the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee, Monae chilled off stage and let her hair down — literally. She looks beautiful! We are feeling this 100%.


Ladies, what do you think?

??????
Very pretty
i like that she doesnt always wear her hair out. Its as if shes trying to make it known that hair should not be a factor in her beauty or skills as an artist. I wont lie i do appreciate a reminder of how confidence comes from within, not from up top.
Wouldn’t it be cool if she did a feature on this website? She’d be great for a natural hair AND style icon feature. I’m curious about her hair regimen lol.
Gurrrrlll me too! I bet it’s pretty simple.
Finally! I think her hair looks great. I hope she wears it like this more often.

Yess!! Thank you that video was the first thing I thought about thats when I first saw her real hair
Her hair was out and curly in the Big Boi video Morris Brown. Love her!
To anyone who believes that is a weave or a wig, why do you believe that is so? Haven’t we seen enough photos and videos of black women with thick beautiful hair to know that its possible for a black women to have big,hair and rock a twist out that looks like Janelle’s…
People are idiots. You can usually tell real hair from fake hair. I have hair like this and people are always asking me if it’s fake, as if a black woman couldn’t possible have hair longer than a few inches! SMH.
Lovely!
She is gorgeous. I don’t know why some people think her hair is a weave. I have African-textured hair that has been the length of her’s at one time.
Leila, you look absolutely fabulous. Is that a recent pic? OMG. Did you big chop (for a second time) for the summer?
Beautiful!!!
Two words: Love it!
What I think is that I want to know how I too can be a part of REVOLT lol!
No shade… but I think it may be a wig. Either way it looks great!
it’s not a wig hun. it’s all hers! I was there.
I don’t believe that’s a wig. She does have naturally thick hair. Either way she looks great!
I have naturally thick hair too and I wear a wig sometimes. I said it looked great
No hate but I do agree too it’s a weave… And I won’t say “BUT she is gorgeous” she definitely is, and I do not consider that wearing a weave is a bad thing.
WHat makes you say that it’s not real?
It looks too…”imperfect” to be a wig. It looks affected by humidity, a touch of frizz in some spots. I don’t see how you could think it’s a wig.
I never knew janelle monoe was so ittty bitty and cute ^^
Yes!!! Love it.
She’s sooo little and cute! I love her look!!!
What I think is that I love her hair!
Oh my goshhhh!!! She is soooo so so perfectly gorgeous!!!
I remember seeing old pictures before she really blew up with a twist and always hoped she’d go back to wearing her hair down sometimes. She looks beautiful!!!
She looks gorgeous as usual! 🙂
Cute was getting tired of the pompadour
Looks great and I love the hat!
Very Cute!
Very cute!
She’s gorgeous! The funny thing is that when she first came out (talking before her first main stream album) she wore her hair out all of the time, so I’ve seen her hair like this before.You all should look up some of her old music.
flawless!
