#BlackTwitter can’t stop fangirling over Michelle Obama’s natural hair
Michelle Obama has never been afraid to switch up her hair. For eight years, we've seen the former first lady rock everything from wavy strands to a straight bob.
But over the weekend, she debuted a 'do we’ve never seen before — her natural tresses.

Yep, that's right. Mrs. Obama was pictured rocking what seemed to be her natural curls. Pulled back into a low puff, she finished the casual look with a grey and white polka dot headband.
It’s unclear when or where the photo was taken, but folks on social media have been obsessing over it, excited to learn that she is indeed #teamnatural.
