Tiny Tresses: Recreating Michelle Obama's Laid Mane

Michelle Obama's legacy isn't without its iconic hair moments. From her game-changing bangs to sleek and straight bob, our former FLOTUS exuded beauty, both inside and out, during her time in the White House. As we kickoff Women's History Month and continue to celebrate Black hair-story, we pay tribute to the woman who motivated us to love our locks, no matter the texture. Subscribe to our daily newsletter for the latest in hair, beauty, style and celebrity news. Press play and watch HairOnPurpose founder and hairstylist Bukky Ojeifo recreate a kid-friendly version of FLOTUS' laid mane.
