        Has anyone noticed how beautiful Oprah's hair always looks? I really wonder what her hair care regiment is. I currently have natural hair that is pressed. What would be the best way for me to achieve the curly look that Oprah has? Because my hair isn't relaxed I can't do a wet set.

Your best bet would be to straigthen then  put in hot rollers. That works for me. I am also natural.

I may be wrong but I think the curly style she's wearing now is a weave.  Her real hair is very pretty and healthy looking though.  I read the book by her stylist called Andre Talks Hair and it tells a little about her regimine and how he cares for her hair.

Oprah has a team of stylists do her hair / makeup daily, and it takes several hours.  They do a great gob.  I love this soft curl look she wears now.  Just beautiful. 

You can probably achieve similar results with a roller set and then just rake your fingers through a bit (to eliminate obvious parts / roller lines) and let curls fall naturally.  I do this then put my hair in a high, loose ponytail (after rollersetting and also when I go to sleep) and this keeps the curls for days.  They just get a little looser ea day.  I add a little moisturizer and a dab of oil daily.

One more thing to add, Oprah's hair, whethter a weave or not, is cut beautifully.  A really good cut makes a big difference.  The hair falls at all the right angles and layers perfectly.

Sorry, just re-read your post and realized that you do not do wet-sets since you are natural.

I think there was a post a while back about using a flat iron to curl the hair.  Maybe this would work for you.

She just had a show last week about her hair. Because it got straightened too much at her last relaxer or something.

I saw a post a while back showing how to use a small flat iron to acheive the "spiral"/curly look (sorry cant remember the post). It was very similar to what Oprah is wearing right now. I'm thinking this is probably a weave she is wearing now too, but it is very cute.
