Randomness: Searches on Michelle Obama's Hair UPDATE!

All day long I've had an increase in traffic due to a massive Google search on Michelle Obama's hair. My friend Janet may have found the reason why:

Nothing to see here, Michelle fans. I'm almost 99.9 percent positive she's just rocking a ponytail. I should have more concrete proof of her unchanged hair status Wednesday when press pictures of her events from Tuesday and Wednesday morning come out. But I sincerely don't think the glamazon would do anything drastic to her hair before the election is over. The biggest moves she's done so far were to drop the Condi Rice flip and start using a new hairstylist.

Below is the original post.

My site has been inundated with searches for Michelle Obama's hair today, and for the life of me I don't know why. Normally I'm right on top of any Ms. O fashion and style news, so I was pretty befuddled when I started getting all these search hits. Especially since she's been rocking the same 'do since she was touched by the "flat iron of God" during the Democratic National Convention.

Maybe I'll do my regular Michelle photo search tomorrow and find something different, but from what I can gather, Michelle-a-holics, this is what her hair looked like as of Monday in Madison, Wisconsin.

"The Flat Iron of God": Who Did Michelle's Hair

In all the excitement over Michelle's speech, dress and kids I forgot to add this tip I received from a reader, Sandra, more than a week ago on a story on the hairstylist responsible for Michelle's Denver 'do.

His name is Johnny Wright and blog Bella Sugar interviewed him July 29. Here's a snippet.

How did you start working with Michelle Obama?
It kind of happened on a whim, and I’ve been doing her hair now for a year. My agent out in New York booked me for her Ebony magazine shoot, and she liked it so much that she had her people book me. I actually just got a call today from her saying I’m booked with her for August a whole week — I’m going to do her hair in Denver.

Denver! Denver is important.

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, she is a very normal person. She has two young children, and I think that her staying normal keeps them normal too. 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.
