Michelle Obama Wore Her Natural Hair For The First Time & Broke the Internet

Since Michelle Obama left the white house, she has swapped out her tailored suits for skinny jeans and her heels for sneakers. All while still looking flawless, of course. 

In the most recent snapshot of the former First Lady, she is seen wearing a gray tank top and a polka dot headband. But that is not what is special about the photo. For the first time in literally years, Michelle is photographed with her natural hair and obviously, everyone loves it. Although she has always had her natural hair, throughout her time in the White House it was always styled into silky smooth waves, courtesy of Johnny Wright. But now, she is free and running with it. 

According to Refinery29, it is not clear when the photo was taken of Michelle on vacation, but obviously, once it spread to Twitter, the praise for it spread like wildfire. 

 

 

 

 

Now, if only this level of natural was used in Melania Trump’s official White House photo
