Monica- Essence Hot Hair

Monica covers Essence magazine’s 1st Hot Hair issue which explores the “unique relationship between African-American women and their hair”.

In the issue, the Atlanta singer interviews with Karen R. Good about her career, motherhood, and hair. Here is an excerpt from the article:

“Since Then, Monica -who once aspire to be a hairstylist and worked on friends and acquaintances in her mom’s home-has worn her hair long, curly, asymmetric, blond, black, a bright pre-Rhianna red and everything “in between.” “If you’ve seen the movie ATL [where she played a waitress at the Waffle House],” she reminds us, “I’ve even done blond on the top and completely red on the bottom.” Monica favors a sleek look and makes weekly visits to salons such as Atlanta’s 360 Degree for washes and wraps with foam while she sits under the dryer. “I’m big on hair heath, ” she says. At night, Monica wraps her hair with a silk scarf or sleeps on a satin pillowcase.”


I love Monica!
