14. I went and googled up Michelle Obama in braids bc I hadn't heard that she'd changed her look...

It was a bit "Oh!" for a few seconds, and then "Ah!"; I know some of these styles from either photos, or the many Black women I've seen on subways, and buses. Especially, when I lived Brooklyn for some years - jeri curls were big. But there were pure fros, braids, straightened, mixed fros w braids etc

It was just surprising bc I'd never seen her like that, just 8 yrs of her First Lady hair styles. I really like 4 of 6 styles I saw; she looked fabulous.

Occasionally my Black women friends have talked about their hair. I've read articles here, and there.
