This fall in what many consider to be a “bold and daring” move, the Queen of Talk will go “natural” for the cover of O Magazine. This will be the first time ever that Ms. Winfrey would have been seen on the cover of the publication with blow-drying, straightening, or adding extensions to her hair. Oprah says that wearing her hair naturally—as she often does on weekends and on vacation—makes her feel unencumbered. But there was a time when she wanted to just cut it all off. “I wanted to wear it close-cropped a la Camille Cosby but her husband Bill convinced me otherwise. ‘Don’t do it,’ he said. ‘You’ve got the wrong head shape and you’ll disappoint yourself.’ I took his advice,” she says. After all the makeovers she’s done in O magazine and on TV, Oprah stands firm that the only makeovers that are maintained and sustained are “those in which something inside the receiver clicks, aligning with that which is being received. The only way to real transformation is through the mind.” So, ladies what do you think? Are you happy that the Big O decided to “go natural” or do you think this is just a ploy to get her name back in the press? Source: O Magazine]]>
