While guest hosting The View last week, the subject of Tyra Banks appearing on her show without a weave or a wig came up during the Hot Topics segment. I have long been a huge Tyra fan and consider her an inspiration to young women, including me. The idea of her being seen without fake hair was another awesome moment of Tyra bridging the gap between reality and television.
The conversation soon turned to our own hair—real and otherwise. Sherri Shepherd admitted that when she was little she wanted “Marcia Brady hair” like I had. For that matter, I said, so did I. If Tyra had the courage to go on TV without a weave, I wanted everyone to know this: Not all the hair attached to my head is real. Yes, I have been wearing different variations of permanent and semi-permanent hair extensions since high school. Even as far back as middle school if you count the banana hairclip with the sliver of hair attached to it I wore to my eighth-grade dance.
For those who watch Tyra, the buildup to her appearing sans-weave was a big deal. For men out there and women who have virgin hair (that’s never been processed, dyed, or had extensions or weaves put in it) let me explain that for women like Tyra (and myself) to go without a weave on television is almost unthinkable. I have appeared on shows with and without hair extensions, and I far prefer the way I look when I have them in. On the night my father accepted his nomination for president, I wore a giant Madonna ponytail extension (circa her Vogue tour)— much to the dismay of some of the campaign advisers, I might add.

Why is this news? Was there anyone who DIDN’T think Tyra was wearing a big wig?
She looks great without it too... I dont see what the big deal is

Poor girl. She thinks these people like her. They only have her as long as she expresses dislike of Republicans.
Then they will dump her and tell her she’s not pretty enough to hang out.
It’s going to be a sad day when she comes to realize that.
She be ACORN bait, girl gotta work it.
You can always count on M&M to elevate the conversation.
I feel like I was just transported back to middle school for a few minutes when I read the exerpt.
What is the purpose of weaves or extensions? I’m a guy and until a couple of years ago, I had hair that went down to my butt. Even after shaving it, it only took a couple of months to grow back so why do these people need extensions? Just wait a few months.

Tyra is beautiful and intelligent.
Meghan is a spoiled brat without a brain cell to call her own.
She’s very lucky that her mother is rich.
And the next idiot thing she will probably say is: An my fat thighs and big behind are fake too!
I feel sorry for John McCain to have such an embarrassment for a daughter. She is too dumb to realize she is just being used by these Hollywood liberals who will soon become bored with her antics and dump her.
“I wanted everyone to know this: Not all the head attached to my hair is real.”
She is fake to the core!

Hi. I was so stunned by Hannah Giles' dazzling beauty that I completely forgot to ping this atrocity of a thread to all of you. |

Does this mean she wears a merkin?
Well...better late than never, rabs. Thank goodness you did. I just couldn't bring myself to click on the story when it popped up on my news page...but, boy, was I ever waiting with baited breath to find out exactly what the McBlogette wears that is fake...
(Yeah, right.)
Have a great weekend!
This woman is an utter moron.
