The superstar popstress, whose longtime hairdresser quit just days before her American Idol debut, posted a photo showing the world that she’s not just hiding money & her weed stash under her wigs, there’s actually some real hair under there!
If you’ve ever wondered what’s under Nicki Minaj’s wigs, check out the photo below…
Some woman rock weaves/wigs to merely provide length or just for a change of pace, so it really shouldn’t be a shocker that many of those (*cough* us) who rock OPH (‘other ppl’s hair’ ) actually have hair of our own.
[FLASHBACK: For Sistah’s Only: To weave or not to weave? F*ck Natural Hair! (VIDEO)]
Nicki would probably look great rocking her “natural hair” but would it really fit in with her colorful image?

Quick Flix: Nicki Minaj’s “Out of this World” Style…
im not a fan of her, but why do ppl thnk this isnt her real hair?? she’s been wearing wigs for at least 3 years, she wasnt ever bald headed to my knowledge, so why cant it be real?
I mean, she had super long hair in her high school year book pic. I know that was a long time and things can happen, but I think it’s hers. This isn’t her first time sharing a pic like this either.
Why people act like a black girl cant have long hair naturally? It gotta be fake?..smh Lord save us
Thank you! The stereotypes are real.
nicki minaj is not a full blooded black woman and she knows it, she is mixed with indian/negro,,,what people in her native island of trinidad call "dougla" the island is full of them the stronger the indian in you the better texture hair
Celebrity Hairstylist Derrick J recently did her hair many times prior to them photos. He said she had a good length of hair, but it wasnt that long nowhere near it. So im guessing she is either wearing see in or fusions. Two types of weave that makes it look natural as if it came out your scalp.
Derrick J always tell the truth about hair.
I dont believe it, it’s a weave!!
I can’t understand why she can’t wear her real hair n no make up. Geez I like letting my scalp breath as much as I I like having a wig on. It’s all about balance she has none her n her gonzo nose need to get real . Be a role model n show young fans you can rock ur real hair n face n still have it going on
Clip those raggedy ends!
Latisha, I was thinking the same thing.
HAHAHAH! Me, too!
lol exactly, this is not her real hair and to me some black women use "i want to protect my hair" to wear a weave all the time. im sorry but you dont see white women screaming and crying about protecting their hair so the throw on a weave and my point in bringing white women into this is that if they can do it we can do it. you dont have to wear a weave ALL the damn time. wear your natural hair and take care of it, either way it goes weave or no weave you still have to take care of your hair under the weave or it will get so dry it will start to break off! look at michele obama, prime example of you taking care of your hair and it will tkae care of you bottom freakin’ line!
White women wear weave too! Most women on TV are wearing weave, extensions, wigs, etc.
That is the mentality of today: White women do it too!!! Girl please! Black women have gotten so damn weak minded its pathiculous. We gotta get back STRONG and truly don’t care what others think about us on a real level, not a ratchet/copy cat one. TV/film hair pieces is one thing for effect, but day to day won’t be caught dead without it or in my natural hair state??? Come on, life need to stop imitating art. And Sistahs need to stop emulating the antithesis of their natural God given beauty.
It’s HERS, stop hatin! Why do BLACK women THRIVE on dissing each other? She’s worth MILLIONS, while y’all bitchin on HERE!
Black women LOVE to hate of each other! Why do you care what other women do to their hair. If it’s not bothering them then it shouldn’t bother you.
@Mary- Why use white people as the standard by which we measure ourselves. They don’t own us. We were freed years ago. Get off of them and their approval.
@Rawhunee- Of course you would say that. Just another bitter black woman trying to hold someone down. Katrina made her statement in reference to Mary’s comment, which was true. She did NOT make that statement to measure black standard by a while ruler. Get OFF it, too.
Just pathetic. SMH
@ all, let me first say this , I KNOW WHITE WOMEN DO IT TOO, BUT NOT AS MUCH OR AS OFTEN OR TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE HIDING THEIR REAL HAIR UNDER IT FOR 365 DAYS A FUCKING YEAR! SECONDLY, I AM NOT MEASURING MY BEAUTY OR ANYTHING ELSE OR STATING THAT THE WHITE WOMAN HAIR IS UP HERE AND IM DOWN THERE OR USING HER AS THE STANDARD TO LIVE BY, WHAT I SAID WAS AND THAT GOES FOR ALL NON BLACK WOMEN….IF THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR HAIR WITHOUT THE USE OF WEAVES OR WIGS 365 DAYS A YEAR ONCE AGAIN "WE CAN TOO" I AM VERY PRO BLACK I LOVE MYSELF AND I LOVE MY HAIR CURVES AND ALL HONEY, DONT WANT TO BE WHITE NEVER WILL WANT TO BE WHITE….VERY PROUD OF MY CURLY HAIR AND CURVY BODY OK…LET ME MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR, MY POINT TO YOU WAS HAIR IS HAIR..TAKE CARE OF IT AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, WHITE WOMEN DONT DO THE FAKE HAIR 365 AND NEITHER SHOULD WE! ASK MICHELE OBAMA HOW IF YOU DONT KNOW STUPID BITCHES!
@HereIam, your opinion is like an asshole everybody has one. Why I got to be bitter? Because I embrace my nappy ass hair, and I think other sistah’s should do the same? Girl ain’t nobody trying to pry the creamy crack outta your hands so miss me with your rudimentary tangent. At this point I’ve come to a conclusion of my own about you, but I’ll quietly keep it to myself, because today I’m a lady.
And those white women are just as bald as black women who wear the weaves. Look at Paris Hiltons hair without the "extensions".
girl some people are just foolish and racist,,i am a full blooded indian from Trinidad, mu daughter is mixed and her hair is under her butt.. i cut it alot and it grows back,,,,nicki’s real name is onika maraj, if people knew the culture in trinidad they would know she was mixed with indian maraj is an indian name in our island
Shut up you are such an idiot…it’s her real hair get a life….and don’t talk about things you don’t know about. blck people hair is naturally dry… white people hair is naturally oily…their hair grows faster…our hair grows slower….we take care of our hair differently…stop being stupid and read some books and get an education about our anatomy.
white females wear weave to lets not get it wrong only difference they wear the clip in hair extensions MARY and u used michele obama like lets be real who is she marired to how do u know if that is all her hair if you didnt do her hair your self then you cant say anything cause you dont know only one you can speak for is your self just cuz you dnt wear weave and go all natural doesnt mean anything some females hair is to stringy to do anything with or to thick to manage stop be quick to judge and fucking compare ppl to others
Mary, you do not see her 365 days of the year; therefore, you do not know what she does in her personal life.
Bitch she isnt 100% black. she is from trinidad like my sister and their is that length so get ya facts right hoe. and if is fake, she is still making millions while youre making 7.25 an hour.
Well white people’s hair isn’t as fragile as black people’s, so their hair is easier to grow . Black hair is lacking the cortex . This is one reason our hair is so dry and fragile as compared to other ethnicities and also to the contrary there are Caucasian or other women besides black ones who wear a weave to grow their own hair . Ariana grande has spoken out about her hair being severely damaged due to her role as Cat on victorious. Because of this she wears weaves to help her damaged hair grown out .
You a hating bitch my gyal is Trinidadian and its her hair I went to school with her as well
you see assholes comment without even doing any research on her..talk about fans,,,,seems as everything that has black in this world has bad in it,,,that is what Some whites have painted in this world,,,there are white lies,white collar crimes,light is good, but anything black ummmmmmm,,,,,that is her shittin hair
I always knew she had hair. Wow!!
I honestly could care less but most don’t believe it’s her because you can’t see her face. This is the second pic she’s posted in the last year of her supposed hair but neither time could you see her face.
The first time she posted pics, somebody (i forgot who) actually called her out and proved it was a nice, expensive lacefront. This it might be her hair but more than likely not. Either way I know she has hair under there.
You still can’t rap!
Lmao! Well dang, tell us how you really feel, Lockstress! Lol!
I mean she can’t! Remedial rapping is not the bizness! Cash money monkey’s ruling the hip hop game really??? I done seen the birth and death of hip hip! May he rest in peace! lol
I co-sign. She is a horrible "artist"
I’ve seen the birth and death of hip hop too. That means you and I are old as f*uck. Lol…
Excuse me but. . . WHAT?! You are saying that Nicki Minaj can’t rap? Oh then I wonder why she is the BEST female rapper, and the first female rapper to perform at the Yankee stadium. You obviously don’t know what rapping is if you say Nicki can’t rap! She making money ot of it and you wouldn’t even go half way idiot! Stop hating- just because you found out you can’t rap (or the fact that you don’t have any talent) doesn’t mean you have to insult the best! Anywho. . .i love nicki minaj!
People believe it’s not her real hair because its that stereotypical black bullshit that we can’t grow hair down our backs! Most black people still buy into it. My hair has been down my back several times and I know many with hair to their waist! If you take care of your own and stop getting blonde weaves and braids sewn and glued in, many would know that!
I don’t think that why people don’t believe her. It might be because she lies…However, I do understand what your saying.
The girl is from Trinidad yall do know half of Trinidadian are indians right?
But does that mean they all have long hair? I have a Trini sis. Her hair is short and she is considered a black-trini, African, etc. However, her children, who also have short hair look to be more of east Indian descent as their father is from Trinidad but his ancestry more Indian. Trinidadians from Indian descent are called East Indians. I don’t know a whole lot but I do know enough to know that being from Trinidad does not mean you have long hair. Did you also know that some native Indians reject Trinidad Indians because they say they are of mixed blood?
all those island black folks are slaves left on the islands on the way to the americas. virgin island, Trinidad, Jamaica, Bahamas just niggas..
I have a friend from Trinidad and her hair is in nappy dreads. Her 2 daughters have nappy hair to their shoulders that they get done like any other black woman. So there isn’t anything different about West Indian hair from African American hair because they are the same people. Just located in two different areas.
@teejay Yep. Hahahaha
Dear dear, I am Trinidadian. Born and raised and half of the Trinidadians are NOT half indian. We are a cosmopolitan people, i.e our population is made up of different races, those of African descent, indian descent, spanish descent, carib (amerindian -kalinago), french-creole, caucasian, chinese. There are many mixed race citizens as well, Nicki, included. She is half indian, half african, to which we refer as ”dougla”. Many dougla girls have long hair like that. However, being mixed doesn’t justify the reason for hair growth. Being able to care for it does.
amen honey, i keep saying it and saying it! especially lace fronts, never had one and never will….my edges are very fine baby hair and i refuse to walk around with a lacefront take it off and look like a damn fool!
I’m scared of people without edges.
People without edges scare me.
Right. My hair is down my back just from abandoning the hot comb and flat irons. It grew like 4 inches from last July to last december just by doing this: wash it, condition it, part it down the middle and twist both sides into a bun like they do in the hair shop when you go under the dryer. I leave it like that forever and just wear a hat in public. When I get in the shower again, I just rinse it with water and twist it back up. If it feels dry, I wash it with conditioner and twist it back up. I have the nappiest hair, 4C. So if I can do it, any black woman can.
4A-B, nice to meet you lol.
Hi neighbor, lol…
@It’s her business, I mean absolutely no offense, but did you take any supplements? Your hair grow really fast sistah, that’s a beautiful thing! Mine does too without supplements, but I want it to grow even faster. My daughter began Biotin a month ago and she has experienced a serious growth spurt. I’m getting some and some other stuff. I’m a 4A/4B & 3C edges, but honey when its dry without product I’mma 5A, LOL. Its all good =]
You know what? I did change my diet during the process as well. I’m now on a mostly all organic food diet, meaning I buy all organic food first, then processed food second. I cook the majority of my meals with fresh ingredients and from scratch when possible. I started drinking more fruit juice like organic berry smoothies, limeade, orange juice, cranberry juice, and the Naked juices. And MORE GREEN VEGETABLES! I eat a lot of baby spinach now, which I know helped. More fruit, like apples and oranges. I guess hair is nothing but dead fiber, so I tried to put more fiber in my diet. I honestly think it was a combination of my new diet, twisting the hair up instead of braiding, washing it with conditioner instead of shampoo all the time, and simply leaving the hair alone to do it’s thing. I use the "Sleek.look by Matrix Smoothing System 2 Conditioner" which I think is expensive, but it worked wonders. Along with the "SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo" and that’s it.
Oh, and I did not use any heat on my hair during the time either. No curling irons, flat irons, pressing combs, or chemicals.
Thx for the info. I am Vegan, and love green veggies B-)
If that nicki what happened to the big ass tattoo thats going down the left side of her arm????????????that not her
The tat is not even that big and this is the back of her arm. It’s in the middle.
It her name in big ass roman letter going down her arm yu would be anle to se the outline at least. As we always see it i her video. And so what cares abot her hair. Is that gonna save her failing career.
It not Nick I don’t it them D rider who be acting like these artist support them Nick falling music suck perfume stink ass look funky clothes who wanna dress Luke a weirdo ha ha everybody do the clothing doesn’t mean they career ain’t failing beside when the last time she advertised that perfume ……. Thought so
So is that long hair gonna save her failing career. No than what os the point. Did somebody call her a bald headed scaliwag. Only time people do stuff like this is to prove a point. So whats the point for a 30 yr. Old chick to be posting nonsense.like this for attention. It still wouldnt matter if it touch her ass cause she still gonna wear wigs cause she a clown. End
lol exactly! lol bloop bloop! lol lol lol hi clown nicki, and why does she talk like that? trinidad my ass you dont see rihanna walking around talking like a damn robot with a bird stuck down her throat have several seats ms nicki!
Nicki on AI, has two new singles out, just shot the video for them both, perfumes, clothing lines, and her career failing. LOL. I got a good laugh outta that.
Yeah her able sales are under 100000 and her perfume was taken out off May because her lack of promotion. the video slot was Birdman and French Montana. yeah . The clown is not as entertaining as she once was. Ringling Bras. Might sign her.
MACYS DAMN THIS DAMN AUTO SPELL .
L M A O !
Both Nicki’s albums are platinum, meaning they have both sold over a million units. PFRR sold 253k in the first week alone. Look it up. And what you mean taken off Macy’s? I walked in Macy’s today and it’s still there? You can easily log onto the website and find that out. She has a new one coming out in May. Not only that, it’s one of Macy’s best selling perfumes, and this is coming from Macy’s, not no bullcrap I’m just making up. Oh, and can’t forget her clothing line. It’s obvious you don’t like Nicki, but you don’t have to make up blatant lies.
She still a nontalent clown who is career is sinking 2 nd album never want platinum in the real world. You on that syrup Wayne on
@Styfly… girl look it up. Numbers don’t lie, no matter how much you deny it. And you went from talking about Nicki’s hair to her career. Damn, you a real live hater. SMH.
It’s because she didn’t show her face has nothing to do with stereotypes honestly who really cares its just hair either way and hair don’t make a person Dispite our obsession with it
Nicki is Dominican..its her hair..why tweet a pic of another chic..bitches hating cause they are bald headed.
What do you think Dominicans are??? Sammy Sosa anyone? Girl Nicki is Trini hailing from Trinidad. Again, Black. The slave ship who kidnapped Africans just dropped them off first.
"The slave ship who kidnapped Africans just dropped them off first." Now that was a classic read! Michelle Chelle, u can go home now, the library is now CLOSED.
dont for get Jamaica Bahamas virgin island Haiti so on and so forth
rawhunee…wher the fuck do you get your history…didn’t africans come to america tooooo…asshole let me give you some insight into the multi coloured societ trinidad has…i am from there,,,,,african slaves entered trinidad,years after indians from INDIA yeahhhhhh, came to work on the island,,,,chinese started coming, syrians, whites etc,,our island has a vast mix of colors DUNCE!!!!
She’s not Dominican, her family is from Trinidad. That island is mixed to the high heavens just like most Carribean islands. Black hair is very strong and if people took care of their hair their wouldnt be a sterotype that black peoples hair doesn’t grow. How many men or teenage boys do you see who start to grow braids and in a matter of a year will have longer hair than his woman? When I was in college almost all the boys had braids or dreads and it nearly all had hair longer than their woman, unless she bought it longer than his.
Another stereotype, so are you saying all Domincans have nice, straight, long hair. Cause i can prove otherwise?
Me too. If black folks can come in all colors… why is it so hard that our hair come in all textures. You have light skin with nappy ass hair, dark skin with wavy long hair. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to believe.
amen script tease, please enlighten these clowns!!!!! light skin dont equal wet and wavy hair…i got cousins that are light and bright and their hair is nappy as hell which is not a bad thing its just the truth, then im carmel with wet and wavy hair like my mother…it’s just the way it is and my cousins want hair like mine…hell im not better and my hair not better its just a different texture, when i flat iron it people think its fake because it looks very silky….again im just showing you the difference of our culture, again im in no way better than anyone, folks need to stop this mess with the hair!
amen, say that cuz that is so not the truth and just so you know too all these islands were invaded with blacks and mixed with spanish so honey chile please stop with this mess thinking that because she is of trinidad she must have some other type of hair…i know plenty of kids that are of mixed breed and their hair is kinkier than mine and im black from mom and dad but got cherokee indian from my great grandfather on my mother side…dont mean im better or my hair better ….im just saying just cuz you mixed with something dont automatically mean a certain grade of hair…healthy hair is what matters!
Somebody didn’t finish school.
Ummm no she is from Trinidad! But I think she is part indian like most Trinis.
LIES…FAIRYTALES..& FALLACIES!! That broad is NOT Dominican…..AT ALLLLLL!! Stop spreading LIES!
Dead at lies, fairytales and fallacies! That’s my line! I loved that video!
no sweetheart trinidadian she is a dougla trini slang for mixed of two races
Looks like she’s needs a good trim or cut
I am sorry … I don’t think that is her. For one, the girl appears to be too dark and thin to be Nicki.
Also, I am sorry, that’s some long hair, but those struggle ends need a deep condition and trim … PRONTO!
Not saying it’s her or not, but I also peeped how the arms were a bit darker than usual. Hahahaha…
What is the big deal if you don’t rock it??!!
She needs at least half an inch chopped off, its a mess on those ends. She stretching that poor hair to death. It doesn’t look moisturized.
Black women need to embrace who they truly are instead of hiding it, so I said that to say this: Yes she could pull off rocking her style, colors and all with her big natural hair even more so because its so unique and ONLY we can rock it like that naturally. Instead of emulating the antithesis of Blackness.
amen and thank you i been saying this since forever!!!! my thing is our hair DOES GROWN, our hair is LONG, our hair is beautiful, embrace it wear and it and keep it movin, having long hair aint nothing to brag about because if we all took care of our hair it GROWS naturally! i had long hair all my life, cut it, then let it grow back and didn’t need no hair grow grease! it grew naturally back because i wash my hair once a week i condition my hair i tease my hair i let it breath and i do a sew in maybe 2 times a year only for a desired look and then take it out after a month….but to wear weave constantly and making the koreans richer..naw i dont think so! nicki if its your hair fine…thats nothing to post pics about wear it boo!
I’m with you. I co-wash daily, I did the "big chop" less than a year ago (for the third and last time). I had to mentally get free, then get completely free once and for all this time around. I rock my kinky hair without covering it up. Our hair does grow like you said without the aid of "grow grease" LOL good one. I have no breakage because I keep it moisturized. Our hair NEEDS extreme moisture, and love water–which is the number one moisturizer for our hair, the oils just seal in the moisture. Its so very sad that we hate ourselves, I had to finally accept myself, and love my hair texture a 4 above all others. I now save money, I feel confident and free, and my edges lay down smooth–perms made my edges extremely rough and would not lay. Our hair is pretty if we get to know it.
THANK YOU AND AMEN..IM SO SICK OF SEEING MY SISTERS AND THE OTHER GENERATION UNDER US, (IM 33) AND YOU SHOULD SEE SOME OF THE TEENAGERS THAT HIDE THEIR HAIR UNDER MATTED WEAVES AND DOOKEY BROWN GEL, IT’S REALLY PATHETIC THAT THEY DONT AND WERE NOT TAUGHT HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR THEIR HAIR. OUR HAIR LOVES WATER, AND IM THE TYPE TO GO SWIMMING AND MY HAIR IS WET AND WAVY WHEN IT GET WET AND MY HUSBAND LOVE IT I DONT RUN AWAY FROM WATER, ME AND MY HUSBAND TAKE SHOWERS TOGETHER AND I GET MY HAIR WET AND THEN GO BLOW DRY IT BACK OUT AND HE PLAY IN IT! IM NATURAL AND LOVE IT HONEY AND WOULDN’T HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY. I REALLY WISH SOMEONE WOULD DO A REALITY SHOW ON TAKING CARE OF THE BLACK WOMAN HAIR, THESE LIL GIRLS OUT HERE NEED TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR HAIR AND SELF LOVE! IM BEAUTIFUL AND FREE THE NATURAL ME…….I LOVE MY HAIR!
INSTEAD OF THESE GIRLS AND WOMEN TAKING THE MATTED WEAVE OUT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER CUTE, (WAS IT EVER)? LOL THEY CHOOSE TO WALK AROUND LOOKING LIKE A BIRD’S NEST BY THE HEAD? TAKE IT OUT, WASH YOUR HAIR, CONDITION YOUR HAIR, BLOW DRY YOUR HAIR, GIVE IT A GOOD HOT OIL TREATMENT AND THEN FLAT IRON IT AND WALLA….THIS IS NOT HARD! DAMN!
Omg, are we the same person? That is exactly what I did. I never hated my hair, but I always had a press & curl for as long as I can remember. My mother used to send me to the beauty shop since I was in elementary school and I HATED that hot comb. One day a few years ago I said, enough is enough, I’m tired of my hair. My hair was super dry, brittle, and began shedding badly. People tried to say it was because I was now in my 30’s. I didn’t believe that. I knew it was because I was not taking care of my hair. I had long stopped going to the shop for a press & curl and had been doing it myself. I felt like the Pantene and flat irons over the last decade had really done a work on my hair, and me and my hair were ENEMIES. Then one day I just washed it and left it like that. I didn’t straighten it or anything, and like you, I felt so liberated. I got some shampoos and conditioners that were made for our hair with shea butter and other oils like you said, and I have not had a single problem with my hair ever since. And yes, washing your hair with just water works wonders. I adore my hair.
The grass is always greenier on the other side. When I was in Japan their hip hop following is very big and they pay nearly 3000yen to make their hair nappy, so they can have braids and dreads. I seen women spend $1000 on a weave in ATL then drive to Bankhead, if you have an extra $1000 every couple of weeks, what the hell are you doing in that neighborhood?
EXACTLY…AND THATS THE SAD PART OF IT..OTHER CULTURES WANT TO BE LIKE US SO BAD AND ARE WILLINGN TO DO ANYTHING TO GET OUR HAIR, OUR SHAPE AND OUR MEN?? WHY CAN’T WE EMBRACE WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE HAVE, EVERYONE ELSE DOES! SISTERS LOVE YOUR HAIR, LOVE YOUR NOSE, YOUR LIPS AND HIPS…I WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING ABOUT ME, THE WAY I SHOW GOD I LOVE ME IS HOW I TAKE CARE OF WHAT HE GAVE ME….IT’S REALLY NOT HARD AT ALL…TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR AND IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU….ASK MICHELE OBAMA!
You ain’t never lied. I went to college with some Asian girls and could not figure out what the hell was going on with their hair. Then I finally caught on to the fact that they were trying to give it "texture". Bwahahaha. Their Asian heads look just as bad as the black girl heads.
Right. I just love my nappy hair. And you know what? It seems like ever since I let my hair be nappy and natural, my hair loves me now! It grows, it twists up nicely, it says "please" and "thank you". WOW! I just can’t believe the relationship I have with my hair now that I just let it be who it is. Oh, and did I mention how white men just love it when I press it out and they see it long? They’re like, "You’re a beautiful black woman!" and "You look like a vision!" But that’s a whole nother story for another time. It’s all about how you work it baby.
*SCREAMS MICHELLE* A picture of yours is used on VH1’s Behind the music for 50 Cent. I’m watching it on Yardies site and low and behold i see a huge STFA watermark..umm I think that belongs to you Missy!
33:09-33:12 Straight from the A all day baby!
Oh and yea your Hair is long 2. I don’t know why you rock weaves sometimes when you have great length…but I digress lol!
Uhmmm….as my hairdresser told me when I stopped wearing weaves and thought my hair was luxurious….those ends a’int cute and you are not going out of my shop looking like that. I had to learn the hard way and it looks like Nicki did too that even though your hair may get some length, you still can’t neglect what’s under the wig and weaves. Now I don’t wear my weaves more than four weeks at a time and when I take them down, I get a trim, deep condition and sometimes a hydration treatment…then let it breathe for at least a week…maybe longer. Now my hair is long and HEALTHY! But I still get the occasional sew in…those who wear weaves regularly know a weave can take you from cute to fierce in no time at all.
She’s so conditioned by society-why do black women feel the need to brag on the length of their hair?Do we ever see women of other races doing this dumb mess-no!So the length of our hair determines our worth?What a waste of space this chick is. At the end of the day, I could care less how long her "real" hair is-no matter the length, I guarantee its longer than her bars. She couldn’t freestyle if she wanted to.
exactly, long hair dont make you better than no one, long hair dont mean you make more money or have a bigger house car or character..long hair is just that long hair a hairstyle damn….i rather have the halle berry do but my husband like long hair!
You just said a mouth full there…It’s this foolishness right here that have me almost cutting motherF**kers when they come up trying to pull on my hair when I wear it natural to see if it’s real. My daughter has beautiful silky curly hair down her back and she constantly tells me that people are trying to weave check her on the low….why does a woman of color with long hair have to be a sideshow freak? Truth is, most of these white women with hair down to their ass have weaves in to…but people won’t consider it because they are pigmently challenged.

Say that Suthern!!!
I think its a mixture of things. For me, I don’t cut my hair but its moreso the "strength is my hair’ mentality but I don’t flaunt it either.
show your face and then i will belive.
i see struggle length, all those ends are dead and need to be cut off.
HAHAHAH! I said struggle ends … but I like yours better!!!! It looks broke off! She needs to clip up to BSL to get a nice blunt cut.
The Black woman Mantra:
Our hair grows up and out like a crown! It doesn’t grow bowing down. Its not submissive, it has authority!!! – Rawhunee
Be ashamed no more. Own it!!!
amen
EXACTLY, SHE NEED TO SHOW ME A PICTURE OF HER AFRO! THIS RIGHT HERE IS JUST ANOTHER WEAVE HONEY!
It sure does have authority because my hair used to jump up every morning and slap me clear across the face for not taking care of it.
boy i swear black r really small bout so many things….bragging about the lenght of your hair….what purpose does that have. i mean is she gonna do a hair care line or was her hair badly damage and wants ppl to see the healthier side. really tho get yo life boo
I feel you. This is a nonstory
Actually she’s from Trinidad..but like I said..it’s because she didn’t show her face. Not everyone’s jealous.
I don’t see why this has been a hot button issue for blogs for the last couple of days. Yes she wears wigs and weaves but that does not mean that this couldn’t be her natural hair. What I really want to see are her edges. Most women I know who wear wigs, weaves, lacefronts, stocking cap wigs and the like have little to no edges. So they make up for that by going natural getting their edges back, then as soon as their hair is healthy again they throw in a relaxer and start messing up their hair again.
Yes, I seen a lady the other day in walmart had very long hair but when she turned around she had no edges, I mean what in the world is that about. Them lacefronts are the devil.
"Them lacefronts are the devil."
LMAO!
what i will say to this is that, just because we as black women sometime wear wigs and weaves does not mean we dont have hair underneath it or because we are bald and thats why we wear wigs and weaves. i have had to check a many when i had/have my sew ins in….just to let them know..no boo…i have hair, "we" have hair, we just like to switch it up, something the white woman is very envious of and i have had white women at my job tell me they were jealous of the fact that i switch it up and i told her white ass you can too, she quickly said she was afraid and i said be afriad to switch up your hairstyle? wow..you really living in a hellish life if you can’t do what you want to do as a woman cuz you think about what others have to say about you, hell how do you sleep at night..white women say the dumbest shit!
Mary…you just contradicted yourself and made a very assuming generalization all in one post. You are ranting about being proud of your natural hair and how if you take care of it, it will take care of you…blah blah blah, yet, you said you wear sew-ins to switch it up every now and again…why is your sew-in any better than anyone else’s sew-in? Perhaps if we didn’t concentrate so much on what the next female was doing with her hair, ass, breast, etc….people would have way believe us when we say we are black and proud of being black. As far as white women "switching" it up, I feel like there are people in every race afraid to step out of their comfort zone as far as appearance is concerned, but do not lump ALL white women in the same category…that is just as bad as a white woman saying all black women are ghetto…she would get skinned alive. I have seen white women rock more weaves than black women….but we all assume it is all their hair because again, we are playing in to the stereo-types. I wish people would realize that we are not our hair…if you are natural, good for you, but that is our personal choice and you should not impose your personal choice on anyone. And by the way, ALL black women do not grow afros. I know this because every since I went natural, I have been trying to get my hair to grow out instead of down and it just isn’t happening.
"What I really want to see are her edges."
Giiiirl, hahaha…
Please show me a face shot
Smh that’s not Nicki
Ok face pic and prove it lol
Some of it’s real some is a weave. Who she think she fooling? :-0
Lol NIKKI GIRL BYE IF it is her hair take a face pic holding it out to the side ONLY reason I don’t think it is her hair she is not TALL so if her hair is butt-length her big azz CABOOSE would be in the picture …..*twirls out this post gone with the wind fabulous*……
I think it is smart to wear wigs/weaves as a protective style ESPECIALLY when you are in the entertainment industry. I don’t get the shade about it not being her hair, though.
I am so tired of the great weave debates. Why would it matter to anyone whats going on in anybody else’s kitchens. I get tired of the "sistas" that rock natural looks trying to bomb those who opt not too. Does it matter natural heads and weave heads can stand together no??? I mean my goodness it’s not even a debatable topic TBH. You don’t have to point it out everytime someone has a perm, wig, weave, highlights, bloned hair etc. That’s how she feels she don’t wanna rock a fro and that’s fine. If she feels like she wanna rock a fro in the future thats fine too. Just do you.
you’re right it should be this way but since society makes it as big as it is, the things that come in the gray area of this topic has to be addressed, it’s not just black and white anymore like it should be. the media is obsessed with the black woman period, especially our hair. to the point where white women on jobs think they can make all type of comments when like you said it aint none of your damn business if i come to work one day and my hair is short then the following week my hair is long, what’s it to you bitch?!
Well I think it’s a mixture. I use to have a relaxer and when it was wrapped or flat iron it was normally flat in the back.Nikki’s back of the head is huge like it’s something/help underneath..those of you who wear wigs(esp.)or weave will know what I’m talking about. As for the front,she might not feel to comfortable showing it because the edges are prob. thin from the weight of all those wigs..Even though your real hair has that break from heat it will cost you those edges w/constant braids,wigs & a sew in. Rotation is key..
We bitch and complain when a certain race assumes we all have the same texture and length of hair i.e. short and nappy.
We accuse each other of lying when we have length and a finer grade… WTH black folks.
We damned if we do, we damned if we don’t.
Remember my name "Dawn". I am a Screenwriter in the making, and This is my real hair with the exception of a relaxer. I just want Y’all to remember.
Is the blond hair her own hair or the black hair? Why is he we see her face with the blond hair color but not with the black color?
It could be her natural hair and if it is I hope she is keeping it healthy,
[…] In The Tweets: Nicki Minaj Reveals Her Real Hair… [PHOTOS] […]
For all you hoes talking about she can’t rap, or her career is failing, look, wtf are you doing in your life so great? Please tell me. Cause rapping or not, she got a multi-million dollar deal with pepsi, American Idol, lipstick, perfume, dolls etc. You bitches that are HATING(only), need to get a life. The story is regarding her hair, which is longer then half you hoes hair period. She’s gorgeous and an amazing talent, so no matter how much you hate, your not really doin shit at all in life for anyone to ever take notice. If it’s anything I hate, it’s a woman hatin on another woman. Not to mention BROKE as hell, and prolly looked popped. Niki Minaj is good, super good financially and everything else. Get yo own house in order before you hate on the next bitch, cause why yo bum-ass blogging, she grindin, doin somethin productive with herself. Do yo thing Nikk, fuck these fuck ass hoes who can barely rub 2 nickels together and can barely pay they bills, let alone get their hair done and take care of all these bad ass no baby-daddy havin ass kids. YMCMB till I die. Goofy bitches. Get yo bread up first, then talk shit, cause you and I both know that yo nigga/husband/baby-daddy would take ms minaj over any of you hoes in a heartbeat. LOL. Ask that nigga and see his facial expression. Fuckin Lames. Go to work or somethin, school, any dam thing then sittin on a blog hatin, and fuck how you feel about me, I"M GOOD!!!
Why are people so silly. Minaj is from trini and mixed race aka Dougla. Firstly, black hair does grow. Like any other hair once you take care of it, it is beautiful, so please take several seats. Secondly, if you are ignorant enough to say black hair doesn’t grow that long so it is not Minaj, at least acknowledged she isn’t fully black. Third who cares? She is a brand based on elaborate design and colorful weaves either you like it or don’t, but she’s not losing sleep over our hair so …….
WHO CARES ,,, SHE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT US POOR PEOPLE !!!
@SMDH
IF I HEAR ANOTHER BLACK PERSON SAY, "I GOT INDIAN IN MY FAMILY" OR "I’M HALF CHEROKEE INDIAN" JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PERM, I’M GONNA PUKE. THE BAD THING ABOUT IS THAT
90% OF INDIANS DESPISES BLACKS AND WE GO AROUND PRAISING INDIANS. WE HAVE SO MUCH SELF HATE THAT WE TRY TO BE EVERYTHING BUT BLACK! NICKI IS TOO DAMN OLD TO BE SAYING, "MY HAIR IS THIS LONG". WHY DOESN’T SHE SHOW HER FACE?
I could care less about her hair length. What I care about is her bleaching her skin. Epic FAIL.
I don’t think it’s her hair cause if it was really that long why not rock it from time to time. I don’t mean on stage but every day activies. All pics take of Nikki at the airport, hotels, clubs she is fully made up with those awful wigs.
who really cares though?? her natural hair is damaged or is my vision blurry? NEXT
It doesn’t matter what her nationality is, because having hair just depends on you taking good care of your own. Iman is Somalian, June Ambrose is from St. Croix, Garcelle Nailon is Haitian, Samantha Mumba is Irish/ African. Keshia Knight-Pulliam is American. All these black women have long hair. Care and maintenance are the key.
I wish people would just STFU with all the pro-black hair bullsh*t. NO, I no longer put relaxers in my hair, YES, I do take care of my hair. But in the same note YES, I do like to wear wigs and weaves often. Why??? Cause its my damn hair and I can do whatever the hell I want to do with it. Get over yourselves with that that dumb sh*t!!! It’s old and no one wants to hear it!
this is nicki’s hair youll are so fucking damn.. nicki minaj is from trinidad and tobago.. 95% of the population are indians.. and 97% of persons there have long hair.. and she’s one.
I have no problem with black women wearing weave or natural hair. I don’t hate Nicki either I just don’t care for the music or fashion not my taste. But that hair is not hers the apex of her hair sits too high up a tell tell sign of weaving. That’s what happens when I wear my wigs or weaves.
It’s mixed . N I used to be her fan since back in the day before young money . If you seen her old videos u would know that is her real hair.
SHE IS NOT BLACK… stop saying that.
It’s funny how just the fact of her being a black person can change your feelings about her. You seem to be so upset about that fact but does it really matter so much to you?, I mean she will still be making music that you like. Once you hear she’s black you no longer like her anymore, to me that’s not a real fan. This what your doing here is the reason why black celebs feel insecure to be "black" because once their fans realize they seem to not be as interested.
I’m sure that’s all her hair. As for the people saying she’s mix with white,really? Where did that info come from. She’s has Indian and African heritage not European, which is common in Trinidad. As for that being the reason she has long hair that’s bull. Nicki minaj is a black women regardless of the fact that she has Indian heritage. Both of my parents are from the Caribbean and on my father’s side there is European heritage and on my mother’s there is Indian , and and both those heritage mixed with strong black roots and if you saw me I look black. The same goes for nicki minaj, take a look at her old pics before fame because that’s the real her, she has really changed herself after fame. Looking at her old pics throw her with a bunch of brown people and she sticks out like a sore thumb, throw her in with blacks and she fits right in.
