‘ROUND THE WAY: TYRA DEBUTS HER “REAL HAIR” ON TALK SHOW

Her hairline is awful. She’s almost bald anyway. She should just chop it all off and go natural. She’d be so much prettier.

Next….love Tyra think she is a nut.

Her hair looks fine…. why does she have to wear weave? At #1 and #2, you are having too much fun, huh

Nice look on Tyra

Tyra looked great. There is no need for her to get her hair cut and definately nothing wrong with her hair line. People are always looking for something negative to say. She is beautiful and her hair is long. Good for Tyra! I glad she showed these women that you do not have to be fake.

wow tyra is so annoying to me. I dont think she realizes the words that comes out of her mouth and how they come across to her intended audience

we all know why she felt the need to do this, because she is the most vain person ever! despite her crazyness i still, for some odd reason, think she’s amazing and love every dramatic thing she does. her hair looks fine, she would still look like a model with no hair so it’s whatever.

# 5. Are you serious? Tyra is the epitome of fake. She had a nose jobs and wears nothing buy wigs and weaves. Takes it off for ONE show and she is expected to promote self-love? LAUGHABLE. Tyra needs to try again.

Tyra’s show is annoying. I think Wendy is trying to come for her.

i love me some tyra……GO TEAM TYRA!!

#9 i so agree. Wendy is fake, in the sense that she wears wigs and has a boob job and so forth, but who in hollywood isn’t . The difference between Wendy and others is that she is happy about who she is. I admire Wendy. Tyra on the other hand is annoying. I feel like she tries too hard to make it seems that she can relate to everybody she meets. Wendy just says what is on her mind all the time and it feels like she is being genuine. Plus Tyra has some stupid topics on her show sometimes. ‘Addicrted to facebook’. Come on ……….

I agree with you, I think Tyra cares too much of wat people think of her. All in all, she’s my girl I love her show

Angel my question is why is it wet?

To all those that had negative commments to make , its not needed. Tyra Banks is a beautiful black woman , weave and all , the fact that she chose to publicy wear her own hair is more than half black woman we know , so what is the problem. My advice to black woman every hair is apart of your beauty , but it is not to define you. Long hair does not mean better , Weave does not mean better its just an accessory if that. Embrace who you are , love your self even if the next person does not because that negative energy and why deal with that. Black Woman need to learn about self acceptance and understand that we are all beautiful regardless of society and those standards. I understand that society is not fair and things like hair and lighter skin constantly plague our culture and due to what we see on television and the media overall play a major part in how many of us view our selves but thats not YOUR problem. Beauty is only skin deep and Black is sooo beautiful so embrace it love it and dont second guess how beautiful you really are my Black Woman

THE FACT THAT SHE DID A SHOW BASED ON REMOVING HER WEAVE SAYS A LOT ABOUT HER STATE OF MIND…BLACK WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES.

@ 11 I agree with you on those dumb show topics on Tyra’s show like today she had something like “can u tell I’m biracial?” Who cares… and she does seem to be a bit vain Tyra is a pretty women but seems to be really superficial and too concerned about what over people think, who cares if you wear wigs everyday or gain 20 lbs. as long as your happy and healthy, Wendy is funny and somewhat real (personality wise) maybe that is why Wendy knocked Tyra from FOX to the CW.

ii watched the show @ #13 her hair is wet cuz she jus got out the shower b4 the show began. her hair stylist also cut 3 inches off right b4 it started. ii think she looks great and should wear her real hair.

STOP BEING FAKE. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL IF SHE WAS BALD-HEADED PEOPLE WOULDVE MAKING FUN OF HER. SHE SHOWED HER REAL HAIR TO SH*T ON NIGGAS WHO BE HATTIN’

GOOD JOB TYRA. THEY JUST MAD CUZ THEY HAIR IS EAR LENGTH

@ Angel. My thought exactly! And, yes, what was up with the bald headed comment.

cosign 100% w/ #14
clapping hands. lol

as much as i think that Tyra can be a corn ball she shows major insight on some of the issues that she chooses to address.

i myself was never allowed to perm my hair growing up. my dad was completely against putting any harsh chemicals in my head. today i am extremely grateful for his decision. Although at the time there were no images at all of black girls that looked like myself; dark skinned with kinky hair. i could never understand why black women in the media who were claimed as “beautiful” looked nothing like myself. i thought i was subpar because i didn’t have long straight hair. it made a huge difference when i learned that in reality those women look nothing like their images. it was all weave and make-up.

i think that it is important and BRAVE that she strips herself down. as adults it doesn’t make a difference to us because we know better. it comes off as fame whoring. but to young black girls that look up to her (and there are many) she lets them in on the reality behind Hollywood images.her actions give them the chance to be proud of their natural selves.

yall know yall care how long her hair really is, you cant say u werent curious, shit im curious how long some of my friends hair is

yeah Tyra! Your hair is pretty girl, I don’t see why you would want to hide it

DAMN TYRA IS KILLING MY FANTASY. FIRST SHE TAKES OFF HER WONDER BRA ON NATIONAL TV AND SHOWED HER SAGGY BOOBS, THEN SHE REMOVED ALL OF HER MAKEUP ON ANOTHER SHOW, NOW THIS! SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE HER STOP!!!!

Now she needs to have Beyaki on the show and make her do the same thing!

Ok. Anyone who watched ‘Higher Learning’ knows she has hair, so this is nothing new.

Does she have edges or is her forehead really that damn BIG….Lord save us

This is wild. I just watched a recording of Tyra’s show (yes, I recorded the show lol) and Tyra just said people are gong to be talking about her real hair on blogs and stuff. I said to myself, “No they won’t, no one really cares.” Right after saying that, I came to concreteloop and the first thing I see is…Tyra’s real hair lol. Hilarious to me.

my only thing is.. why did she feel the need to wear weaves for so long when her is so beautiful!? that’s a good look for real. though i’m not a fan, i do give her credit where credit is due for revealing the “real her”. cheerio, tyra… cheerio lol

I know why she did it, just read the comments on all of the blogs about almost every female entertainer. They are forever saying who’s hair is fake and who is bald headed, but the reality is that most of these women have more hair than the females hating on blogs!

I definitely agree with #5.

#16

Tyra was on NBC not Fox. NBC has people like Dr.Phil and Oprah

@ POSITIVE CHICK

TYRA’S SHOW WAS ON FOX HERE IN ATLANTA

I KNOW THIS IS OFF THE SUBJECT BUT THE TWEET IS GREENSBORO REALLY TURNED OUT FOR HE COLOR PURPLE.A FRIEND OF MIND FROM CHARLOTTE SAYS THE FOLKS AR BALLING ????THE ENTIRE STATE IS BUZZING ABOUT IT?????HE BEEN HITTING MY FACEBOOK PAGE FOR DAYS ALL EXCITED!!!!!
DID YOU GO???? ARE YOU GOING?????
ARE YOU GOING TO POST ANYTHING????
I WISH I WAS THERE, THEY SAY ATL IS SOLD OUT ALREADY!! WOW!!!!
I AM SORRY I JUST WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING SINCE YOU ARE FROM NC????
MYA

THANK YOU TYRA! I DONT LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE TRY AND ACT LIKE THEIR BETTER THAN SOMEONE WHO CHOOSES TO WEAR WEAVE OR WIGS WHEN IN FACT A LOT OF TIMES OUR HAIR IS LONG AND HEALTHY AND HALFWAY DOWN OUR BACKS! SOME PEOPLE CAN WEAR IT FAKE OR NATURAL AND STILL LOOK GOOD! I SEE WHY THEY UNEASY THOUGH. EVERYBODY AINT ABLE.

Angel I agree with you on the questions. I mean is it really that serious? This woman is so superficial.

I remember her crying because people said her boobies were fake. And then crying because people called her fat.

She is supposed to be above this nonsense. She really needs to find better ways to occupy her time.

watched this episode and I dont see why she hasn’t worn her own hair before now. She does come off as insecure alot cuz she kept mentioning how people gonna talk about her and all that, yet she had Perez ass on her show. I guess so he cant pick on her lol.

(Black) Women, please stop allowing your hair to imprison you. Stop putting so much pressure on yourselves over hair. Go swimming, go workout, go do whatever it is you’re not doing because you’re worried about your hair. Please learn to love your natural selves and stop letting all forms of media tell you your natural hair isnt good enough. Not knocking those with perms, weaves, wigs, etc, but women, please learn to love your (natural)selves and take the time to find out who you are independent of the fake media influences in our society.

Btw, it’s so obvious how insecure Tyra is. As much as she wants to empower women, it mostly sounds like all she’s doing is trying to convince herself that she actually believes what she’s spewing on and on about (mostly herself).

One thing about Trya although she may seem shallow to some but she is one of the only stars to show her real self to the public. Hair hate it or not but it is an issue with black folk. There are more people who should wear there hair own hair whether natural, relaxed or however. I know what it is like to feel like you are only pretty with weave or relaxed hair. I don’t care I cut my hair off and rockin it au natural whether people like it or not.

Did the new season start today!?

Anyways I don’t know why some people choose to wear weave. I know a lot of people say it’s easier to handle and stuff but I’d rather maintain real hair then having to sew or glue tracks in my head. Especially those who have obvious weaves in – why not get something that looks natural? And WHY glue tracks in your head without perming your hair? The amount of girls I’ve seen with weave and an unpermed head – it looks horrible, the textures don’t match!

I know quite a few people who have really nice hair but choose to wear weaves – ugly cheap weaves at that.

I just don’t get it ..

BUT, Tyra has decent hair – her forehead is ………..

SHE HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SELF ABSORBED WOMEN IN THE WORLD. TYRA IT IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. WHO CARES IF YOU’RE BALD HEADED OR NOT? WHY DO BLACK WOMEN MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT HOW LONG OR SHORT YOUR HAIR IS? SO WHAT?

Why all the shade? I think it’s great that Tyra showed what her real hair looks like. It’s not very often we get to see celebrities with their real hair. More power to Tyra and women like her who aren’t afraid to show their real hair.

She has way too many issues. The main point is that no one cares if she has a lacefront, weave, natural, or hat on. She is self-absorbed and that is why I do not watch her show. Oprah looks good for her age, but at least she is more hung up on news and trying new things than being closed-minded.

It’s really not that serious! She’s just having a show encouraging women to rock their own hair! Keep doin’ what ya doin’ Tyra! Congratulations on winning ur award! You are a beautiful sistah!! I remember when Tyra had very little hair. I think it was early on in her career. Anyway, she’s gorgeous with or without long hair. Most people already think women of color can’t grow their hair or have hair that’s down their back and it’s really their own. Perez was even surprised! sidebar: hmm.. all the hatred and negativity aimed at people of color on a daily basis, you would think that we would support our own. Will we ever get it?

Ok if women want to wear weaves and wigs then wear it. If you enjoy your real hair then thats great too. This mess is crazy. And just because someone decides to put weave in their hair doesn’t mean they don’t love themselves.

Most of the poepl commenting DIDNT EVEN SEE THE SHOW wow all these questions and comments were resolved in the show, And she didnt do it to prove herself she did it for ratings, PLEASE. nad her hair looks fine but with all the money she has she doesnt need to be “real”

people should feel free to do whatever it is they choose with their hair. I myself have never rocked a weave only because I cant afford the nice looking ones..when i’m out of college then who knows

Tyra’s hair is nice. I don’t see what the big deal is. She was more worried about it than probably anyone else was and I never thought for a second she might be bald. I give her props for being brave enough to show her real hair, I think too many women believe those wigs and crap are who they really are. She has a head full of hair, she needs to loosen up.

You know for the most part I have always been a Tyra fan – back when she wrote that book for young girls on being proud of who you are and exposing her natural photos in the book. back when other celebreties would never do that. I like that as a women/black women that she is “empowering” and not just a body without a brain (although a bit self-abosorbed – but who aint these days) -but I can’t beleive that in 2009 “to weave or not to weave” is a cultural issue of identity and self esteem for us sistas Dag…why can’t it just be as simple as a personal prefence/choice with no self hate or wanabee issues? I don’t care what no one says – do you – whatever that is. Long hair, short, fake hair – it’s the fun in being a women and having all those options – I for one love it. I go natural, I go fake, I just go…come on my black ladies – seriously, there are huge issues for us to be way more concerned about – this is the epitomy of majoring in the minors! God Bless your hair, your forhead and however you choose to rock it..just love you and .do you boo!

LOVE Tyra but she needs bangs…I don’t understand why she’s on the “Real Hair” bang wagon…oh yeah I know…ratings…honey please…weave, lashes and makeup only enhances you..if you chose to go that route…all the mess is caused by the fools that walk around looking a mess wth all the above overdone or simply done wrong….I’m all for self love and living life as fabulous as possible…embrace your fabulous…there are too many other important things that need to be focused on than ‘Real Hair”…

I watched about 5 minutes tops. I can’t stomach her. She’s the most narcissistic person on TV. I don’t like who she is when she hosts. Barf. Other than that, I love everything else she represents. She just needs to get over herself. I’m soooo over her.

She’s so annoying too, with her “real” permed hair. Go to bed Tyra.

Angel this is the best post in a while hahahahahaha your questions are hilarious.

Its the same reason why when someone called her fat and she dropped the weight then had big girls on the show to promote inner and outer beauty. The girl gotta a complex.

Maybe its cuz for years we have been like oh ya beautiful eyes but lawd that forehead! hahahahahahaha

Shes wearin’ the mess out them Louboutin look at the bottoms hahahahahaha

with or without the weave tyra has a big forehead, but i love her. tyra’s real and i’m glad she’s showing her real hair. she’s awesome!.

Oh my lawd Tyra!
You better get a pony or something
cuz your forehead is so big .,

All these compliments and riding so hard for her is exactly what she wanted. For droves of people to unite and tell her how wonderful and beautiful she is. She either doesn’t know how to or doesn’t want to love and validate herself. She needs other people to. Tyra’s show is nothing more than an egomaniacal platform for self hatred disguised as empowerment. She is narcissism personified. Her feigned concern and depth when dealing with her guests is laughable. She’ll listen to them for a few minutes before launching into an anecdote about her modeling days that is suppose to humanize her and make her relatable. Hypocrisy I say! I gave it a shot and watched today. But I couldn’t stomach the whole show. The frown with your eyes bit cemented my changing the channel. I know, as black women we need to support each other. But I can’t get behind Tyra with a clear conscience. Even when she has descent topics, she does some ignorant “oh we black girls blah blah blah,” or “my ghetto booty this and that.” Not to mention, she’s a horrible “journalist”. Yeah yeah, she’s a model. But dammit, she’s a mockery of my profession. I’m 5″2. I don’t try to model. She’s dumb as shit. She shouldn’t be on t.v. End rant. I have enough papers due this semester. I won’t write another one on Tyra Banks. LOL

I think Tyra is answering stupid white people’s questions about our hair, our skin, our culture what is good about that is she knows how to get money from their stupidity
how many time did they ask you if you have hair under your wig? even some white males have the nerves to question your hair, your skin, the way you eat, whatever… you know… they still act in 2009 like you’re another species and that they’re at the zoo

She seems like she always has something to prove. Who cares?
