Did You Like Viola Davis’ Natural?

Viola Davis was ready to take home that Oscar last night. We just knew it. The fact that she showed up to the extravaganza wearing her own hair was testament to that. She was ready to make a huge statement and we were all ready for her speech. But alas, it didn’t happen. Nonetheless, we love and appreciate her bold and beautiful look for the night. What do you think? Did she rock it or should she have rocked a wig as usual?

Allison Samuels has a great piece in The Daily Beast called Why Viola Davis Ditched The Wig at The Oscars discussing how the actresses’ move provides insight on African-American hair politics.

    We as black women have received a blessing and I personally am sick and tired of people jumping on us because of our blessing. We can braid it, loc it, straighten it, crop it, weave it and the list continues. Maybe people are jealous because they can not do this. This is a blessing. Take it as one and let others enjoy the view. Stop feeling like we have to justify it. They just want to interrupt your blessing. Have you noticed how many times I have used the word “blessing”. Don’t let anyone take your blessing. Hold on to your blessing. The fact that everyone thinks it is there business means you are on the runway. “Smile”! Sometimes people get you to hate the thing that they want.
