She has beautiful hair. There was no reason for all the wigs. She should just be herself- she looks so much better this way. Now it's beyonce's turn.

that's not purely "natural", it's straightened and relaxed. but good effort anyway, we should all embrace our own natural beauty.

OH HERE WE GO WITH ALL OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. TYRA DID THIS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LOOK UP TO HER LIKE LITTLE GIRLS WHO THINK THAT PEOPLE LIKE TYRA JUST WAKE UP AND LOOK THIS WAY. IT'S ALL AN IMAGE,AN HOLLYWOOD IMAGE. IT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE. SOMETHING THAT AMERICA IS SAD TO SAY BASED ON,IMAGE. SO SHE DOES SOMETHING GOOD AND IT'S YET NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU,GUEST,OR YOU MS.JLC AND TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO WILL POST NEGATIVE COMMENTS. LET'S BE REAL ALL WOMEN LOOK AT OTHER WOMEN IN MAGAZINES AND WANT TO LOOK LIKE THEM. WHETHER IT'S HAIR,MAKEUP,CLOTHES,ETC. SO WHY GO NEGATIVE WITH THE COMMENTS. AND EVERYONE IN HOLLYWOOD JUST ABOUT WEARS A LITTLE EXTRA HAIR,MAKEUP,EYELASH,NAILS,SLIMMING UNDERGARMENTS,BUST AND BOOTIE ENHANCERS,ETC. AS WELL AS WOMEN WHO ARE IN THE CLUB AND YOU NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR AND YOU. SO STOP IT, IT'S WHAT WE AMERICANS MADE IT TODAY AND IT'S SAD,BUT HEY ARE YOU WEARING YOUR NATURAL HAIR,PROBABLY NOT!!!!!!!!

This is about her REAL HAIR!!!!. So what she has a relaxer???? The process of growing out a relaxer takes years. You can't just take a relaxer out. She has beautiful hair regardless!!!!

Tyra's hair is natural, just like her boobs are natural! Her hair is still altered by chemicals (straighten with relaxers, possibly colored). That's not natural–she wasn't born with straight hair! What a disappointment! And to come out there with it wet… what's the point of that? To further hide that her kinky/curly hair has been relaxed? I was hoping to see Tyra with the natural hair she was born with. Black women subject their hair to so much trauma with the relaxers and heat—not to mention the time and money spent on getting it straight. Black women need to be proud of the hair that God has given them. It doesn’t have to be relaxed to be considered beautiful. It would have been nice to see her truly natural. It’s kind of like she’s still deceiving her audience.

Give me a break. This fake woman make millions off all kind of extensions and makeup and all kinds of enhancements, now that she has made her money and she's got a cushy TV show, now she is ready to go all natural and talk smack about all the things that gave her all her success to become rich. Hypocrite.

Stop it now haters, relaxed hair, flat iron, curling iron, or blow dryer everyone use these product. Know one is perfect in Hollywood or in your neighborhood. No one have there natural hair color. If every one was natural, I mean everyone, they would let there gray hair shine. BE REALY PEOPLE. She was talking about the length of her hair….

Jon Dogg? I feel you are JEALOUS of Tyra Banks! And I think you are an Ugly person and GOD don't like ugly! This woman has no kids or a husband and she made the best of what she has -her career. Why hate on her? What could she have possibly done to you? – oh I know! She has money and you are frigging broke!
September 9th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Who freakin cares if she had a relaxer!!!!! Its still her hair not a weave or wig. And there is nothing wrong w/a relaxer, who wants nappy and kinky hair. And its not expensive, its only $5 for a box of relaxer.
September 9th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Tonya I totally agree w/ you! Why are people hating on the fact that she has a relaxer? All black females should have a relaxer, who wants nappy hair?
September 9th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Wow, all the hate is RIDICULOUS!!!! She came out of the lace front, wig, and extensions. She didn't have to. As much as people wondered about what was going on under those weaves, it's sure funny now how much hate is going around. Guess you guys thought she'd have no hair. Well I'm glad that she showed that just because you choose to wear a weave or wig etc, that doesn't mean that you're bald-headed underneath. Who gives a good gosh darn if she has a relaxer!?!? If she came out with an afro people would still talk. Personally, I would LOVE to have my hair natural and not relaxed. I tried growing out my perm a couple of years ago, I love when my hair is thick and full but ya know what, it was so thick and full that my hair dresser couldn't comb through it! No one has time for that.

Huh? I'm not hating on anyone. I'm just pointing out a fact. You may need to check the definition of the word hypocrite to understand. Why is Tyra always talking smack about skinny girls and people being obsessed about their looks when that is EXACTLY what brought her fame and fortune? Hey, I just call it like I see it, that's all.

Arodzwifey, the chemicals in relaxers is the reason why sisters don't have long hair! And therefore feel the need to wear wigs and weaves! Ignorant people like you are the reason sisters WANT to put chemicals on their hair. I wish we could go back to the 70's when we were proud of our hair and our race. It takes just as much time to put a '$5 relaxer' on our hair as it does to learn how to care for our naturally CURLY hair. The two n words — nappy and n***** — are the two most destructive words in our culture….what's left of it.

theres actually alot of women who are going natural in todays society. if you are black, i wish you and others will get out of the ignorance about nappy hair.. you can continue to wear relaxers and waste money if you want but dont knock others down for wearing their real hair, and being strong enough to accept them and not society view of who we are. life is too short for that bull.

well ladies, it makes no sense for us to b fighting over whether her hair should have been natural or permed. The only thing that matters here is that she took out the weave. Its a facade. A show. Nothings worse, not a perm, or not wanting natural hair, or using nappy. pretending is bottom line horrible.

Well, if I recall correctly Tyra had her hair natural on ANTM in season 3 or something? And it wasn't relaxed or anything like that? So it's not really a 'mystery' in my opinion… I don't see why she did that.
