Soledad O'Brien Quotes

The funny thing is, people only know me for having straight hair for work, but I live in Atlanta where it's hot and humid in the summertime. So when I'm home, I wear my hair natural. My hair is naturally curly; I don't have a relaxer.

My hair is too fine to bleach. I get so much breakage, it's not worth it to dye it.

I've been burn when it comes to my hair that it ain't no joke.

In my college days, I went wild with my hair. I dyed it every color in the book and, quite naturally, my hair would break off from all the damage. When our hair breaks off, of course, there's only one thing to do - braid it up. I wore braids for a while and would always feel like I just never knew what to do with my hair.

I do a lot of damage to my hair every day because of my work. I just noticed this huge change. It started getting thinner and it started falling out. I hit 30, and I literally felt like I was balding!

I've colored my hair so many times, and nobody tells you the damage it's going to do! I went blonde and lost all my baby hairs. I'm not coloring it anymore. Never again.

Whether you have locs, natural hair, wear a relaxer, or rock wigs and weaves, thinning edges can be a frustrating issue.

My hair has been so wrecked over the years by various things.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I thought the world was ending my junior year of high school after a dye job reacted badly with my perm and left me with a sparse and burnt up hairline. Even though I went natural a few years later, my edges never seemed to recover.

What no one tells you - or maybe they did tell me, and I chose not to listen - is that there's really no 'coming back' from bleached platinum hair. You sort of have to cut it all off and start over.

Everyone is going to go through that phase of not liking their hair, but at the end of the day you're going to regret that you ever put relaxer or anything in your hair.

I ripped off half my hair with a waxing strip, and it didn't grow back for, like, 5 months.

I straighten my hair very few times throughout the year, and it's only in the cold winter months because it's the only time my hair will stay straight. If there is, like, a tiny bit of humidity in the air, it's curly again.

From my own personal standpoint, I've always preferred my hair shorter because it's just easier.

I think hair is just, like, the most important thing about you.

Here's the thing about hair; I think most people think that I have Lego hair, like I can just take it on and off in one piece, and that's not quite the case - although pretty close.

I can't imagine having long hair anymore; it's weird.

My hair is certainly not copious, and I keep it short, always - it's buzzed twice a week.

Dry shampoo is just really awesome because it'll keep your hair light, but it'll give it texture so that you can move it and style it, but it'll kind of just stay in place - so I really love dry shampoo on shorter hair.

I'm looking forward to losing the long locks at some point. But it's been fun, and I do enjoy it.

A moustache is actually the one thing I really can grow. One of the bad parts about my facial hair situation is that I can't grow sideburns. I'm happy to still have my own hair on my head, but I can't grow any sideburns. If you ever see me with sideburns, they're not real.

Because my hair is curly, I used to do all the straighteners, the Japanese this and the Brazilian that.

So understand the type of hair you have and do the best with what you have.

My hair looks awful while wet, I will say that.

The more you mess with texture and colour, the worse your hair is going to feel.
