THANK YOU. People can't stand the fact that Beyonce, seems to "have it all", so they HAVE to find something wrong, hence the obsession with proving she's bald headed
I think it just depends on the stylist and if the celeb cares. For example we all know celebs like Naomi Campbell couldn't care less about their hairline, therefore dont care how the wig is slapped on as long as it looks good. Beyonce and Tyra rotate to different phony pony hairstyles and thus need their edges. Thats my theory.
And LMAO these are all i COULD FIND besides this one
Photoshop or Toppik hair spray (fine keratin hairs that look just like your hairline), I guess.I remain skeptical. How can you wear an LF 24X7 and not damage your hairline? No way.
Not you in particular. Just people in general, especially on this board.
People forget, beyonce in the early dc days wore her real hair and it was luscious and thick. Even lately she has been wearing her real hair and it's healthy and very long.ETA: And sorry, I forgot to address one of your questions. I know she's insecure at times about her hair, shape (and other things that are contributed to by her blackness), and that she feels held to intimidating and far-reaching standards because she's admitted to it from her own mouth on shows and in interviews. If you are adamant about questioning it, I can find you references and links.
If you have more questions based off what I've actually said, feel free...
I'm so glad someone finally said this. I'm no expert, but it definitely looked like she cornrowed one of her lacefronts yesterday. All that perfect baby hair in front seemed to match other wigs I've seen her wear.
I did not say "her hair won't grow." I said when I've seen it out over the past few years, it has been NL-SL. You inferred what you chose. Had you asked if that were what I was saying, I would have told you no.
I think it is a lacefront because when I've seen her own hair cornrowed, it looks significantly different than when she has a lacefront set or hair added in. It looks remarkably and inarguably different.
And if you think she is smart, that is fine. I did not say she is an idiot, or that she does not no "what she is doing." I would not make an assessment of her intelligence, because I don't have a basis or report from which to do so. If you thought I did decide she was a clueless idiot, I'd like to know what you thought I was saying she doesn't have a clue about... making money or having healthy hair? I said nothing about her intelligence, or about her blackness. You came to a lot of conclusions.
From what I have seen, her hair is NOT healthy. I did not say it can't grow. In the state it's been in each and every time I've seen it, it's not healthy in its condition; I was disregarding length. I referenced her length not to suggest it can't grow, but to point out the fact that she switches it up in terms of styles, color and cut, and that no matter what, I've never seen it as healthy.

. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when ANYone doesn't practice what they preach. Tyra should be the last one to look down on those parents who decide to do what they do to their children's hair. She herself is a role model to millions of young girls (and she herself acknowledges this) so what else is a young girl supposed to think when they see blonde, long and straight weave wearing Tyra on their TV set? 
It's possible...
"JUDGE NOT LEAST, YE BE JUDGED. I think it's intresting that people r going to SPECULATE AND ASSUME , all this stuff. I think there are a lot of undercover haters that need to worry about thereselves and others who ask there opinion . and if u hate fer show so much WHY DO U WATCH it ? Does ur T.V. not turn? I personally think shes a great rolemodel for black woman and think if people would look at the positive things they just might learn something . im going to leave this here, because theres way to much energy being put into this post.
LOVE this post!For the most part, I agree with many of these posts defending Tyra. At core, she, like most of us, was born into a world that pretty much from day ONE told us the following:
a) Being pretty is a female's duty.
and
b) "Nappy" hair is ugly.
But for Tyra, it didn't stop there. She went into the BELLY of the beast! The American beauty industry. And, by playing by their rules, became arguably one of the most successful supermodels of them all! The stuff you have to do to get there doesn't just slide off of you. You internalize some of it. You get caught up in stuff. I'm sure she has people "advising" her. Giving her all kinds of conflicting messages. Generating even MORE insecurity.
Divas like Tyra and Beyoncee (and even Oprah and--I dare say--Michelle Obama) are PAVING THE WAY for our Afro-haired daughters of the future by providing a basic CONCEPT of a black woman holding such high positions (ie a lot of whites wouldn't even be able to IMAGINE these things without them). But they are clearly signaling to us via their actions/choices that this society is STILL not a safe enough place for them to feel comfortable showing that part of who they are. It IS a pretty vulnerable part for many of us (especially those of us who were not only told this stuff by our families and friends, but by the AMERICAN PUBLIC AT LARGE!)
So the truth is, the very FACT that they are on TOP of their game, YET don't sport naturals isn't so much about THEM as it is about what is going on at the grassroots level. WE are the foot soliders. If we want to see natural divas, we need to buy more India Irie, Jill Scott, Macy Grey etc. We need to write to the production companies. We need to pull out all the stops! Encourage MORE shows like the one Tyra did. Have our hair dillemmas on the tips of the tongues of women (and men) of ALL races!
Basically, if we don't start a mini-revolution within each of us everyday folk, we won't see change on the stage. Think about it, if, when folks thought of a black woman (whether they were black or white), they EXPECTED to see a head full of beautiful, dense, coils or twists etc., and were actually DISAPPOINTED or turned OFF when they didn't see it, BEST believe those executives would get the message QUICKLY. It's ultimately about the bottom dollar.
Maybe this show was Tyra's cry for help/mobilization. Maybe we should all write her exectives on BOTH of her shows and threaten to boycott if they don't let her show her hair IN PEACE! LOL! Who knows....

). whether you believe her to be a hypocrite is up for grabs, but i don't see the supposed jealousy. she's a role model, and has said it herself i believe, so i think it would be irresponsible for people to just inherently praise everything the woman does.
i think it's because nobody ever has a substantive counter argumentwhy is it that whenever a woman has an issue with another woman, especially an attractive one, it's because of jealousy? isn't that a bit juvenile? no one came in here and did anything other than call her a hypocrite (and maybe insult some of her weave choices
