You’ll be glad to know Team Obama takes the matter of Michelle Obama’s hairstyling very seriously. Frederic Fekkai stylist Johnny Wright has been doing the potential First Lady’s hair for a year, after she liked his work for her Ebony photo shoot so much she rang him up and asked him back. And thus he’s landed the all-important gig styling Obama’s hair during the Democratic National Convention in Denver next month. He tells BellaSugar:
You know, I was very nervous with that particular booking. I was highly screened before I was even allowed to walk into her room — and I totally understand that. Whatever it took for me to be booked with her … It’s just great working with her. She’s never picky; she never asks me for things I probably can’t do. She’s very understanding.
Then again, it’s not like Team Obama-Wright have many options because, well, America would absolutely freak out if she did anything close to experiment with her style (but let’s be honest: “Flip-flopper” allegations get so old, so fast). Wright continues:
Cascading curls?! That sounds so lovely. Dramatic and daring. But is America ready for that? We’re not even sure we’re ready for that. We can only take so much fabulous.
