"When Michelle Obama ceased to be the First Lady of the United States, the fashion press, which had been watching her closely for eight years, began to notice two new phenomena: she no longer straightened her hair and her dress style became increasingly relaxed. Although she continued to convey a message of aspirational power, she no longer shied away from daring fashion choices that she would never have dared to make before."
"In that autobiography, she devoted an entire chapter to the media attention generated by her outfits: "People continue to judge women based on fashion. That's not right, it's not fair, but that's how it is. So fashion becomes something else. You turn it into a tool instead of being a victim of it," she explained. And so, with that philosophy, she achieved what she did in her last appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show:"

The natural hair movement and practices like the 'big chop' coincided with her years as First Lady.
