She looks good for planting cotton.........are her parents that cheap that she puts $1.00 clips in her hair???

I feel sorry for the hair complainers, they seem to be stuck in some funky time-warp. Most of them parade around with fake hair extensions and they not only diminish themselves but look like cloned clowns. They are not satisfied as they are, naturally. I see little girls with those things on their heads and I ask about their feelings of self worth. It's just not there. Gabby is focused on her art and the hair should never have been an issue. But, I feel that if she didn't have her hair straightened and dropped the extension, her true lovliness would shine through, as the Lord intended. I never hesitate to compliment a Black girl or woman for sporting a neat, coifed, lightly textured, or natural hairstyle. Let's get some dignity back and really keep it REAL!

who cares what her hair looks like? she wasnt out to win a metal for her hair sytle. i can bet that 95% (maybe more) of the haters would never be able to win an Olympic gold metal! way to go Gabby!! look past all of the ignorant and JEALOUS people in this sad world!!

Amen to what Anne said above. Why are we even giving any attention to what these shallow "haters" have to say? What I have to say is congratulation Gabby, your accomplishments are a lot more important than your hair, and anyway your hair looks just fine. You are an incredible young lady. I want my 8 year old African American daughter to look up to you as a wonderful example.

Gabby, I am proud of you. Don't be concerned about what anyone says about you or your hair. Keep your focus. We know what's going on w/them. You are great in my eye sight.
