How do I say this nicely? I can't. 'nikki,' you are just plain stupid. Obviously, you haven't dealt with your own natural hair or otherwise just hate it in its natural state. Natural hair IS MORE VERSITILE than permed hair (at least mine is) simply because it's not permanent. You can have twists or take them out and have a new style, you can wear an afro or straighten it, you CAN PUT IT IN A BUN, you can do Bantu knots or braid it while it's wet, let it dry, and then take it out ... the possibilities are endless. There is nothing wrong with permed hair but as someone who has been subjected to that since she was basically a toddler, I can honestly say that going natural has been less expensive, more flexible, more fun, and more unique than the perm cop-out ... otherwise known as trying to assimilate and look more like Caucasians and less like Africans. It's a pity that we lost so much knowledge about our culture (due to slavery), but now's the time to start loving it again and one way t

Hi Tyra, just wanted to let you know that your real hair is beautiful. I also wear my hair very natural texture and all. I do rock a Pam Grier fro and I do get crazy compliment from men, women, black and white. Thanks.

The point is that she had no weave or anything. Tyra wanted to show people to be proud of themselves, whoever they are.
Would you come out to face fans with dripping wet hair and hardly any make-up on?
(BTW: The make-up wasn't as high-quality as it was)

Really women? Mad about the perm? has your hair never been uncolored, texturized? "Natural" hair, whether permed or not still grows straight from the roots. even natural hair needs some kind of chemical or oils to keep it from being dry and tangled. You guys are just made that Tyra's hair was not all jacked up and short and damaged from all those weaves. ha!

Oh shut up people! Whats worng with people these days. You all know exactly what she meant by "natural"--the horse or dead human is eliminated! Women only use relaxers to make dealing with their hair easier not always to cover what God gave them. If you're a full-time mother and worker and wife like me, relaxers (although so harmful) are greatly appreciated because I enjoy getting up in the morning, unwrapping my hair, and it falls into place---and thats the end of it. And certain people don't even have to go that often, I get a relaxer every 8 weeks maybe! I have a natural do-its just spruced up a bit! :)

Maybe Tyra should have picked a better choice of words instead of saying natural maybe she should have said real! But the fact still remains the same it is her real hair, she was born with it so it is hers!!!!!!! Even though it maybe relaxed it doesn't matter it still is hers!

oh yes i truly agree with adrienne and annabella thats not how her hair naturally is , so i dont understand how that can be considered natural and nikki yes your right it is hard to manage that type of hair BUT the whole point about it that is being missed is NATURAL HAIR and that definately is not natural hair

she is a busy woman, and therefore, it makes sense that her hair is relaxed! Having "Natural" hair, takes way more time and effort to manage, believe it or not! Relaxing your hair, requires attention to moisture, as well as protective styling in order to achieve the kind of length that Tyra has! My hair is relaxed too, and frankly, I love it! My mother and my cousins chopped off their beautiful hair to go "natural", and though they are still beautiful, it takes them an extremely long time to style their hair! At my job, I need to wear my hair up, reguardless! If I were to have a natural style, my hair would constantly be breaking off at the point where I clip it up. With my hair relaxed, all I have to do is wrap it, and get going! And on my days off, I have far more flexible styling options. If I want my hair to look like a nappy afro, all I need to do is braid it while its wet, let it air dry, and then tousle out my braids!Natural look achieved! But I can also wear it slick s

Tyra talked about her real hair, not natural hair. And that is her hair strand by strand. And it is beautiful, gorgeous and it is hers which is why so many people are angry, furious. Now she's a phony cause she has a perm? Pleassssssssssse.. Well if she is a phony for wearing a chemical, then so are 98% of all women of all colors and cultures in this great country of ours. That is her choice. But the fact that the hair is growing out of the roots of her scalp makes it "her" hair. How she chooses to wear it is her business.

Well said, Adrienne!
I certainly have no philosophical problem with women with naturally kinky hair wearing it straight via relaxers, but if you're trumpeting about going natural then let it be natural. I'm Puerto Rican and still carry some painful memories of kids in school kidding me about my hair with I was little. I relaxed it the minute my mother decided I was old enough to do so, but like Adrienne said those chemicals really beat the crap out of one's hair. It took me a long time to be happy with my natural hair and let it be what it wants to be.
Tight kinky curls is a dominant trait and if you have even some African heritage your curl is gonna want to curl. I've no doubt Tyra's hair wasn't nattty in that clip. It seems she's still not comfortable with her hair in it's natural form.
Tyra's hair is natural, just like her boobs are natural! Her hair is still altered by chemicals (straighten with relaxers, possibly colored). That's not natural--she wasn't born with straight hair! What a disappointment! And to come out there with it wet… what's the point of that? To further hide that her kinky/curly hair has been relaxed? I was hoping to see Tyra with the natural hair she was born with. Black women subject their hair to so much trauma with the relaxers and heat—not to mention the time and money spent on getting it straight. Black women need to be proud of the hair that God has given them. It doesn’t have to be relaxed to be considered beautiful. It would have been nice to see her truly natural. It’s kind of like she’s still deceiving her audience.
