Oprah recently had a show called "Great American Haircut" where she did hair make-overs. Given the often controversial content covered by Oprah – like, say, her interview with Preg-Man – you wouldn’t think haircuts would offend anyone. You would be wrong.
The authors of website naturallycurly.com have released an Open Letter To Oprah where they criticise her for:
"In case after case, beautiful waves, curls and kinks were beaten into
submission with blow dryers, flatirons and extensions. In one of the
most curious cases, a beautiful woman — who was wearing a gorgeous and
undoubtedly hard-won afro — was given stick-straight extensions. Oprah, you are well loved the world
over, due in no small part to your uplifting gospel of self-acceptance.
Yet, in the eyes of curlies, these makeovers send an unmistakable – and
most disheartening – message that one’s natural hair isn’t acceptable."
My hair is naturally wavy. I straighten it sometimes. Does this mean I have low hair-esteem?

Oprah's curls lately have been beautiful. So here is a curly hair solution that she/we could tout...MIXED CHICKS. These products were created by two women who consider themselves mixed chicks. Kim and Wendi, the creators wanted, not only hair products for themselves, but they also wanted to get out of their not-so-fulfilling jobs. Since they couldn't find products without mixing and matching, they mixed their own formula and what they came up with is really simple. The system is three easy steps:
1. Shampoo
2. Deep condition
3. Work the leave-in conditioner through wet hair and air dry (no towel or blow needed)
The system does not leave your hair sticky like some products. Mixed Chicks taught me this morning ritual, and I will not look back. And here is a trick...don't shampoo too often. Instead, use the deep conditioner to cleanse.
A few of the Mixed Chicks rules:
I do not shampoo more than twice a week.
I do not brush my hair when dry.
I apply my finishing product while my hair is wet.
If I must blow my hair dry, I use a diffuser or sit under a dryer.
I love who I am...so I love my curls!
When I do striaghten, I blow or iron...never chemically relax.
Can Oprah get these two women on her show...I am a diehard Oprah fan, and now, a Mixed Chicks follower.
