Let Me See Those Roots, Girl: Nicki Minaj Tweets Photo Of Hair And Says She’s All Natural

October 1st, 2012 - By Clarke Gail Baines

Funny, just last week I was talking about Nicki Minaj’s upcoming E! specials and how since reports claimed they were going to take you “behind the scenes” into her public and private life, how it would be interesting to see her sans her trademark wigs on the shows. Coincidentally, Nicki decided to post a photo through Twitter yesterday and today of what she’s allegedly working with underneath all those colorful wigs. In her words, she’s “No chemicals. No perm.” From what you can see in the photo of the woman sitting in the chair, “Nicki” seems to have a good length of hair (aka, “She’s “draping”).

Her Barbz seemed extremely excited about this, being that they adore her and claim her haters are “bald as f**k.”  She retweeted a number of in-awe responses:

OMG your hair is so long!!

AHHHHH!!!!!!!! You got major hang time!!!

girrrrrlll got dat gudddd hurrr doeeee !!! *smacks lip*

Her hair is sooo fuckin pretty. I love the diversity of the wigs tho! But baybeeeh that HURR.

Minaj later went on to send out another photo of her holding on to her own head, flexing a muscle “we ouchhair…new pic which features my muscular arm #prettygang). Of course, this photo did not include her face, so you’re just supposed to assume that this is her and her hair.

Along with folks like Beyoncé, Nicki’s real head of hair is one of those things many folks have been wanting to see (like Big Foot). If this is an actual picture of Minaj’s head, then it could be that she rocks her colorful wigs not only as part of her persona, but for the sake of protecting her own hair (ya’ll remember what Rihanna said about how these mainstream magazines can’t do black hair). But I think I would be more inclined to believe this was Onika’s hair if she had actually shown her face. Or hell, just some roots for that matter. But if it makes the Barbz happy (as Minaj went on to Tweet: “The s**t I do for my barbz. Sighs”), then I guess that’s all that matters.

What do you think about Minaj’s pics of her hair?

    So what. she’s still classless with fake hips, fake butt and fake breast. she is of indian descent (maragh) so the hair could be hers but again, who cares.

    I’m from trinidad and onika maraj aka nicki minaj is what we refer to as a dougla. A dougla is someone from african and indian decent thats why her last name is maraj. so yes people that is her hair as douglas tend to have curly long hair.

    just because she is a little bit on the chocolate side, does not mean she cant have long pretty natural hair. I’m black and have long pretty natural hair, no perm, just flat iron and it lays on my lower back. Long natural hair is harder to maintain than wigs.

    Whether or not it COULD be her hair isn’t the point–a Black person can have a natural hair texture that is super coily/kinky or bone straight or anything in between, and kinky or curly hair can be straightened with heat to get the kind of results you see in the picture (of course, the picture could also show extensions). The only thing worth noting here, is that there is no way to know it IS her hair because you cannot see her face.

    Who cares? At the end of the day who cares? Only African American’s put so much emphasis on hair. All the other races will wear their hair long, short, bob, taper or whatever. But there is this stigma all of a sudden. All the women that are shown natural have extra long curly hair like they were fresh off the soul glo commercial. Or; women who have medium hair have fifty million flips, clips, and highlights and if heaven forbid your hair is long. You are considered a goddess even if you look like a pitbull in the face. It is really not that serious. This is just another category in the race. Another obstacle. Hair long, Skin color, Shape. So women “accomodate” these abnormal expectations by getting weaves, lightening cream (or put filters on instagram) or getting implants. At the end of the day… it is STILL Nicki Minaj. Still. So what?
