I watched her speech last night and I must say, it as great. But what really kept me watching was not only what she was speaking about, but her hair was absolutly gorgeous. It has so much shine, body and bounce. Her hair was beautiful and soo healthy looking. It made her look stunning.
 
I agree :yep: Her hair and her speech were both on point last night....I hope Condie was taking notes :look:
 
I was thinking that exact same thing!!! I was on the phone with my BFF and we were talking about her hair. It was on point last night and I must say it was really swangin!!!

:yep: I was so smitten that I had to bump up the other thread where we were trying to determine what do would look good on her just to say how much I loved her hair. :love:

It sure was.
As I posted in the other thread, it was bangin' and swangin'! :grin:
 
I was admiring her hair too.

It really did look good, but I was also thinking somebody prolly fried the life out of it with too much heat.
 
Only on LHCF...LOL

I was thinking the same thing. All I heard out her mouth was 'blah blah blah.' All I noticed was her hair was shiny as hell!

I had a cut like that when I was transitioning way back in 1995.
 
My mother, who is not a "hair person," commented to me this morning how nice Michelle's hair looked.

It was really "swingy" last night. Very pretty--that's how I liked my hair to move and shine when it was relaxed. :grin:
 
I loved Michelle's hair also. You know I had to find out what products she uses. Here we go ladies:grin:

Get ready to know the name Johnny Wright. A stylist at Frederic Fekkai, he's worked with famous beauties such as Anita Baker, Vivica A. Fox, Vanessa Williams, Selita Ebanks — and one very high-profile client, Michelle Obama. I'll share some of his easy hair tips later this week, but for now, read on to find out what's behind Michelle's style.
How did you start working with Michelle Obama?
It kind of happened on a whim, and I’ve been doing her hair now for a year. My agent out in New York booked me for her Ebony magazine shoot, and she liked it so much that she had her people book me. I actually just got a call today from her saying I’m booked with her for August a whole week — I’m going to do her hair in Denver.
Denver! Denver is important.
You know, I was very nervous with that particular booking. I was highly screened before I was even allowed to walk into her room — and I totally understand that. Whatever it took for me to be booked with her, she is a very normal person. She has two young children, and I think that her staying normal keeps them normal too. It’s just great working with her. She’s never picky; she never asks me for things I probably can’t do. She’s very understanding.
For the rest of the interview, plus a few tips on recreating Michelle's hairstyle at home, read more.
I met Senator Obama a few years ago and he was down-to-earth as well.
You know, I’ve been doing hair since I was 12 years old and I never thought that I would be in that type of world. Before this, I didn’t do anything about politics. I look at it as a blessing, because I pay attention much more now. I feel like I’m much more educated on how things go just from being with her and following the campaign.
Do you have any tips for recreating her signature hairstyle at home?
It’s pretty simple. The foundation of any hairstyle is the cut. That’s one thing we focus on doing very well here at Fekkai. With that, I am able to switch the hair into like maybe two, three different looks. We try not to give her too many different variations. People want to see her with the same style, especially when it comes to politics; there’s a lot of scrutiny when you’re in that arena.
I say go back to basics and just keep it simple. Sometimes I flat-iron her hair under, or I use a ceramic curling iron to flip it out at the ends a little bit. With a flat iron she’s going to be able to lock the moisture in the hair. Because she has to get her hair done so often, the flat iron is probably the best tool for her. For an updo, I might do some cascading curls according to how formal the event she’s attending is, but mostly I give her a clean sweep up.
Also, to keep her hair moisturized, I use the Shea Butter conditioner from Fekkai and Glossing Cream. It really keeps the hair moisturized. And Fekkai Coiff Anti-Frizz creme is excellent for that. It's probably one of my favorite products

ITA. I love her hair. Even her daughters' hair was long and pretty. All so healthy.

She looked great from head to toe. I loved her dress and hair. She's just classy all around.

Could you imagine where we'd (Black people) be if we had more mothers/women like her? :drunk:
 
Michelle's hair was beautiful; it was one of the first things I noticed. She looked lovely. And she uses great hair products!!

Fo sho! I was tryna figure out how in the world she got so much bounce, shine, movement, blah blah and then I thought "oh, of course it had to get blow dried with a comb attachment, flat ironed, THEN curled to get that look!" Her hair and makeup was definitely on point, however it was done (I noticed she had fake eyelashes on too...but I loved them!) :) :yep:
 
Her speech was amazing :notworthy: and her hair had me going :wow:

I'm dying to know who presses/flat irons her daughters' hair, b/c their hair was adorable!!! She needs to hook me up w/ their stylist:yep:
 
I kept talking about her hair was just a swangin! on the phone with my friends! (they thought I was crazy LOL) Ya'll understand :yep:
 
Michelle Obama is the epitomy of what a First Lady is suppose to represent. Class, style, elegance. She is this century's Jackie Kennedy!!
 
^^ I totally agree, but I think Michelle is truly in a class of her own - even Jackie Kennedy (RIP) does not compare to her!
