How many people are sick of Tyra Banks obsessing over her own hair?! I am! Since this new season began, it's all she ever talks about. Ok, I commend her for taking that dreadful wig/weave off and going "natural" but please give it a rest now. She went as far as having it cut and styled on the 1st episode and even let the audience members come up and run their fingers through it. She is not the only black woman to wear her own hair. I am a black woman who is doing the same and so are many others. I actually feel she's sending out a negative message by constantly doing this. She's making it seem like it's so rare for us to sport our own hair which is not true. Of course I know many women of color wear extensions but not everyone and I don't feel a metal shoudl be given out for it either. Any thoughts on this subject? Hair is a hot topic at the moment with the Chris Rock film coming out which I plan to see. I just feel she takes it too far and is so self absorbed.

oh has she been doing all that?

I can only take her in small doses, I watched the talk show today about the hair movie tho.

I guess the way she's going on about her hair is good promo for the movie? eitherway she always comes off as self absorbed, like if someone's being abused by their boyfriend of course she's got a story to tell about how her boyfriend, althought not physically, abused her and how long she put up with it... but it is The Tyra Show after all.
and she gets overthetop sometimes... in every episode




Oh AND I hate her new logo, theme song and the stage is weird

yes, so far this season has been about Tyra and her hair. by the way, you are right about the new theme music. it is weird how her name is being chanted like that. did she talk about her hair today again? i didn't see it. i do like her new look overall. last season her style was kinda homely.

but it seems like she is running out of ideas...
how many other shows can she do about tyra...

dancerella said:

yes, she had plenty of time to talk about her hair today. the show was with Chris Rock and his movie, Good Hair.

I keep hearing whatever hair makes you feel good is good hair !


well let a message be sent out that bad weaves-carnival curls- ratty ends- braids where the sides are balding IS BAD HAIR ... Dennis Rodman BLONDE is BAD- brassy home coloring kits cheap wigs that can pass for a hat


fix this people WE MUST DO BETTER !

Also, hair that looks like Hallmark ribbon, that unnatural lace-front hairline, and hairpieces that don't match your own hair color....
Oh! And "Raggedy Ann Red".

When does TYRA come on in the NYC area now? I used to watch it at 5pm when I got home from work, now I can't find it.

dancerella said:

I don't do weaves either but I think it's good that she drew attention to the fact that we sistas should realize that we can feel good about wearing our own hair. Is it worth a whole season of shows? Heck no but Tyra is a dingbat whose breadth of vision doesn't often extend very far. I watched her show once and only made it through half the show.

I'm shocked to hear that Tyra is annoying , shocked!

Reeeeally?

I don't watch Tyra, ever!

Once a week (ANTM) is the recommended dose of Vitamin T.

I hardly ever watch that show-maybe once every two months.

She's trying to be Oprah, she has to do everything Oprah does. Oprah is wearing her own hair now (since last year), so of course Tyra has to do it too.

If it aint nappy, fuck it.

I love Tyra, but that girl could make Satan wanna kill himself. I can only take her in the tiniest of doses.

^^^ I don't care.

I wonder if she is focusing on this because even many black women know nothing about caring and maintaining a healthy head of relaxed/straightened hair and are fixated too much on a European standard of beauty.... wait, this is Tyra.... nevermind.

I can see why she went natural if her other option was that jacked up weave. Her and Beyonce stay buying at the damn cheap Asian beauty shops....y'all rich, bitches! Back off of the horse hair!

CalhounSq said:

you know that occured to me too. she is seriously trying to steal Oprah's thunder!

BklynBabe said:

oh god, beyonce is another one. when will this child take those god awful weaves out?? let it go already! well i hope black women will think more about doing different things with their hair instead of weaves. mine may be short but at least it's mine. i've had my beautician ask me if i'd wear a wweave before and i said hell no!

dancerella said:

Same with her talk show. She feels the need to put "I" in her questions.
