The photo was brought to the attention of fellow blogger and author of Natural Chica, Maeling Tapp. She received messages saying that Michelle Obama's hair looked a lot like hers. When she saw the picture, she discovered that the hair indeed was hers and had been photoshopped onto the picture.
A lot of people who follow my blog said, 'I had a feeling that was your hair,'" Tapp told ESSENCE.com. "It's kind of surprising that other people recognize my hair so well." Tapp posted a side-by-side photo of her and the First Lady onto the Natural Chica Facebook page which quickly garnered over 1,000 "likes" and "shares."
Tapp says that she hopes the photo spoof will encourage Mrs. Obama to experiment with natural styles.
"There have been so many positive responses to seeing Mrs. Obama go natural so I hope it inspires her to try and wear more curly styles," said Tapp.
When asked what hair advice she'd give our Commander in Chic, Tapp says it would be to "be creative and experiment with your hair. When dealing with natural hair, there is a lot of trial and error. But if you see it as a really fun way to try new things, it’s not a frustrating process at all. It becomes more of an enjoyable and inspiring journey."
Imagine how influential she would be, not just to other women, but to little girls all around the globe if she rocked kinky textured hair!!
What to you think? Do you think she would have much impact? Would you like to see her sporting the curls?
The real picture
