Halle? Natural?
Gorgeous!!
Saw this photo on Just Jared and there’s another one on Jezebel, of Halle shopping at Whole Foods in Vancouver, Canada.
Love it!
But of course, I think Halle looks great whatever she does.
I’m wondering — is this curlicious style just because she’s letting her hair do its thing, or is this for her role in Nappily Ever After? Either way, I hope she sticks with it for a while. Of course, I might be biased — I’m a bit of a Halle stan, ever since the days of Strictly Business and Boomerang. So forgive me if I gush.
What do you think, bellas? Yay or nay on Halle as an afrobella?
Trisha R. Thomas’ book has been on my list of upcoming books to check out at the library for a while now, so I don’t know if Halle is apropos for the role or not. According to those message boards on IMDB, her casting is controversial at best. Nappily Ever After fans, what say you? Yay or nay on Halle as Venus Johnson?

Niki, I agree with you. And Trisha — that’d be Trisha R. Thomas, author of these Nappily Ever After books we’re discussing here — I am glad you spoke your piece. Thank you.
These comments are going to lead me to write a whole nother post.
FYI– it’s on theybf.com that she rocked this ‘do earlier in the day & changed to a long, straight, wig later that day to shoot something else. So it is a wig. I appreciate Trisha’s comments as well. I don’t see anything wrong w/rocking a protective hairstyle like Halle (like MANY black actresses,models,entertainers do)to protect your natural tresses, whatever texture it is. It’s YOUR hair, you have the right to do with it what you want.
I think she looks better with short hair. But the curly look is cute on her too.
I’d prefer someone like Malinda Williams.
odd shaped wig. the hair is too big for her face
@Moe – “not for nothing but u make it sound like im knocking woman with natural hair, not the case AT ALL. i love natural looks. LOVE THEM. but this PARTICULAR look on halle TO ME looks chia-petish..sorry, just my opionion. oh and im sure if i let my relaxed hair go natural i would probably look like a chia pet too…lol”
- “maybe if it didnt look SO much like an afro i could dig it”
Umm Moe, have you actually read what you wrote?
Despite your protests otherwise, both of your posts reflect a typical brainwashed attitude regarding natural hair that too many of us natural Bellas are oh so familiar with already,(good looking out Trina…)
Let me tell you something, I rock a full natural/fro/whatever you wanna call it, & I KNOW I don’t look like no damn “chia pet”. Now, I don’t know what the hell you got growin outta your scalp, so I can’t speak to what you’d look like with a natural, but I take issue with your repeated comparison between natural hairstyles & chia-pets. Have you seen a Chia Pet? I mean, WTF? It’s a dig, regardless of how you were trying to come off. And I found it particularly bothersome, coming from another Black woman who claims to have love for natural hairstyle choices.
And that’s another thing, the way you keep saying how you just LOVE natural hairstyles…but that you yourself are on the creamy crack…
I mean, seriously, c’mon now…
Nappy Nazi, signing off…
