Tyra Hair Reveal

I watched Tyra's hair reveal the other day. I guess most people are curious at some point about what someones hair looks like if they consistently wear weaves all the time. I wasn't really intrigued by it until she announced she was going to reveal her real hair for her season premiere.

The Reveal
I assumed that because she has money that she should have access to the best hair stylist and her hair would be in pretty good condition. Her hair is obviously thin at the crown and I'm not sure if many people could be able to combat that with years of wearing weaves with relaxed hair. My hair is fine and my edges are thin from years of wearing micro braids so I can see why her hair would be thin. I guess you have to factor in the stress of modeling. I'm pretty sure when she was doing runway shows healthy hair care wasn't a high priority at the time.

Her stylist rubbed me the wrong way. If I'm not mistaken, I think I heard him say she had a relaxer and a color service done at the same time. Which is something you should never do. Why did he wait until she had three inches of damaged hair to cut it off? Why didn't he start trimming the damaged hair as soon as he saw it? A lot of people think that if you have a weave you don't have to do anything to your hair. That's far from the truth. You still need to moisturize your hair and deep condition your hair each time the hair is taken out.

I'm definitely not an expert and never claimed to be one. She said she is going to be switching throughout the season between her hair and the weave. So I just hope that from this point on she and her stylist start to implement a healthier regimen and she is able to maintain it. Kudos to her for having the courage to show her real hair. Many celebs wouldn't even dare to show their real hair.
