Megan Thee Stallion is famed for her lyrical tongue, her olympian knees, her perfectly formed behind, but please, her hair needs its roses. This woman needs to win awards for her long, thick, juicy natural curls, defying the myths that Black hair doesn't grow.
Thanks to the spectacular magic of the wig-game, and top-tier natural hair products now available, Black women are able to keep their natural hair tucked away healthy and safe while they chop and change their hair, or style wigs instead. Particularly essential in the public eye, where the toll of constant styling is just too much for textured hair.
That's why Miss Megan Pete's latest move is a big statement, that we imagine she plans on keeping for a while. She just got a full head of honey blonde multi-tonal highlights through her XXL natural curls, and honestly she looks like sunshine.
Right in time for summer, the golden and caramel tones add so much visible dimension and texture to her curls. While the bleach has altered her curl-pattern somewhat, appearing slightly looser and more S-shaped, it's likely to juice back up over time. And even if it doesn't, it's fun to experience new textures and it looks *chefs kiss*.
While yes, she could have just got a blonde curly wig, we totally get wanting to be ready to roll with a wash-and-go style in the summer months. Wigs are no quick game and certainly no fun in hot weather, or when you’re tearing around on holiday or leaping in the sea.
Looks to me like Meg is prepping for her hot girl summer and we just hope she posts it all.
