Megan Thee Stallion's hair never ceases to amaze me. The sheer length of her gorgeous curls has me weak with envy – and that's before we even get onto the volume. That head of hair is an achievement that deserves awards. And funnily enough its latest outing, sorry, I mean Megan's latest outing, was to the CMT (Country Music Television) Awards in Austin Texas, where she presented the ever iconic Shania Twain with the Equal Play Award.
And you know what they say in the southern states; "the higher the hair, the closer to God." (You have to read that in Dolly Parton's voice). Packed with volume, Megan's perfectly defined luscious curls — a mix of 4a and 3c curl type in the walker system — are so juicy and hydrated they're practically glistening.
At first I was certain she'd had a big haircut, chopping inches off compared to recent shots of her hair falling down past her shoulders. But given just how much curls can change day to day, shrinking and stretching dependant on treatment and product, it could well just be a trim or shape up.
Her hair had been looking pretty exceptionally long lately, for it to have jumped up quite this much. But they do look more stretched out and relaxed in the recent Rapunzel shots. Plus when looking from the side at this shot of Megan presenting Shania with her award, you really see just how much length Megan still has:
Most of the time we're trying to suss out whether a new makeover is a wig or a haircut, but here's to Black girl magic, because honestly we're now just trying to figure out if this is a cut or just her curls transforming. Either way they are to die for. Let me go take my hair supplements.
