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. ------------- Hair Type: 4a/3c Natural Hair Length: Mid Back (growing out Layers) Hair Goal: Long Layered Waist length/ Super Healthy! |

| 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. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~
