Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama's hair is FIERCE!!! Michelle Obama is natural and her hair is stunning, healthy, shiny, has body, life and more movement than most women who have their hair relaxed!

Johnny Wright, Mrs. Obama's stylist, was happy to share some of the technique he uses on Michelle's hair.

Step One: ShampooApply a reasonable amount of shampoo (preferably a moisturizing one) to wet hair and work into a lather for one minute. Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water and repeat.

Step Two: ConditionAfter shampooing, towel-blot the hair. Apply a generous amount of conditioner to the hair, comb through with a wide tooth comb, and place a plastic cap on the hair. Sit under the dryer for 10-15 minutes. Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water for one to two minutes then turn the water temperature to cool and rinse. This will help seal the cuticles.

Step Three: ProtectWhen the conditioner is completely rinsed out, apply a small amount (a little more for coarse-haired girls like yours truly) of heat protectant evenly throughout the hair.

Step Four: StraightenSection the hair in fours. Starting from the back, blow dry the hair on low with a paddle/round brush. Working in small 1" by 1.5" sections, flat iron the hair on medium (about 250-300 degrees).I truly hope this helps anyone who is Natural, transitioning, or stretching.
