I just spotted this on the Huffington Post. Visit that link for a full slide show of Michelle O images, showing the cut from several angles.
Do you love it, or do you LOVE IT?
I think she looks so awesome -- sleek, modern, trendsetting as always. But, of course, I'm an unabashed "Stan" of the whole Obama clan.
I'm sure Michelle O's many detractors will find a way to spin this into a negative. Hopefully, she'll continue to brush them off. Go 'head, Michelle!
** US Weekly also has a great pic of the style, in case you'd like to see another angle.
*** edited at 11:10 a.m. Central time -- Thanks so much to my new friend, eyebrow guru Rashida B. She sent me this article that reveals -- ta-dah! This "haircut" isn't a cut at all!
Michelle Obama's hairstylist, Johnny Wright, revealed the secret to Urban Beauty Collective.
"No, I didn't cut her hair. There are two things I do. The UP-TUCK, like you are tucking something in. Then I do a TUCK-UP. The UP-TUCK is when I position a small ponytail somewhere on the head, and then I tuck the rest of the hair up under that ponytail. Then a TUCK-UP is when I take the hair and gather it all in the back and I twist it and I pull up and tuck. And that is what she got last night! A TUCK UP! Not a cut.
I have done it on different celebrities, and it looks different every time depending on the length of the hair. It's a really easy up do. And it looks really classy and appropriate for any occasion."
Yes, indeed. So we've all learned a new beauty trick of the trade (that I'm totally gonna try myself!) and quite a few of the commentators on this thread exorcised their inner racist demons on a hair blog. All in all, a learning experience. For some more than others, apparently.

I do many different extensions methods so feel free to ask!
Top genuine stylist welcomes you to this beautiful favorite technique offering Human Hair Extensions using the micro-ring strand by strand method or if you prefer I also do the sewn in Brazillian hair weave on method. I also provide Remy wet and wavy hair. Many women, including celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Beyonce and Britney Spears opt for using micro ring hair extension methods , cutting down on the time you have to spend at the stylists. This is considered by many professionals to be the the best method for fine or fragile hair. The new Micro Ring technique is the smallest and most undetectable Hair Extensions technique available. There is no glue, sewing or braids involved and there is no damage to your own hair. Micro Ring extensions should last up to six months before needing to be removed/reinstalled/tightened.
The Micro Ring installation and removal system is one of the easiest hair extension systems available on the market. This technique can be done on all types of hair. The rings come in different colours of metal and are covered with plastic which provides a comfortable cushion for hair. The rings clamp securely in place and will not slip out even during the most challenging of activities.
Those who have worn micro ring extensions attest that they are comfortable day-to-day and the hair stays in place until you remove it!
A hair extension method free of any glues, heat or chemicals, which is an affordable and completely dependable is a considered a common sense approach to extending hair!
This method of hair extensions is the most preferred by those that desire a natural looking hair extensions. While wearing Micro Link hair extensions, your own hair will become healthier than before you put in the hair extensions! Removal is a quick and painless procedure that will not damage your hair with any chemicals or stress to your hair. I am conveniently located 5minutes from Wimbledon Station. Please call for more information, or to book a free consultation by appointment only.
Whats the difference between Remi and Silky hair?
Remi is the highest quality human hair available. The hair is collected and processed keeping all its root ends at the same end, just like yours and mine. For this reason the hair is almost completely tangle free. As opposed to Silky Straight (Non-Remi) where the hair is collected and processed irrespective of which end the roots are facing. You can curl, crimp, wave, straighten, colour the hair extensions
Hair extensions in many different methods just ask from: £60.00
100% BRAZILIAN HAIR FROM £180.00
Virgin Grade AA Remy Straight Hair:- Fullhead £200 Halfhead £170
